Blue Blood Battle

Saturday night started with Kansas defeating Villanova. The game was never in doubt as the Jayhawks rolled to a comfortable win. The nightcap featured Duke and North Carolina battling to play for the National Championship. These two arch rivals had never played against in the tournament. Adding to the stakes it served as the possible last game for Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski. The game lived up to the hype as both teams battled back and forth. In the end Carolina upset Duke ending the career of Coach K. Interesting nugget is that the Tarheels served as both Coach K’s last regular season loss and tournament loss.

Tonight Kansas and North Carolina will battle for the National Championship. Unfortunately for our pool there is not a lot of drama. Here are the scenarios.

Kansas wins …

North Carolina wins …

Congrats to Ryan Bohardt, Chris Chamberlain, Lisa Burns and Bill Walters. These four are guaranteed a top 4 finish although 3rd and 4th place will depend on the result of the game. 5th and 6th are on the line tonight. If there is a tie for 6th, closest submitted tie-breaker score wins. Good luck to all.
