Well, that was a disappointing Elite Eight round. Saint Peter’s is done, and the Final Four is full of teams I hate! As for the family pool, here are the current scenarios.

  • If Duke loses its first game in the Final Four, Chris wins the trophy.
  • If Duke wins its first game in the Final Four and Kansas loses, I retain the trophy.
  • If both Kansas and Duke make it to the final game and Kansas wins, Chris wins the trophy.
  • If both Kansas and Duke make it to the final game and Duke wins, I retain the trophy.

It all comes down to Chris and me!
