Did anyone else expect the Final Four games to be more exciting than they were? Purdue beat NC State by 13 points while UConn bested Alabama by 14 points. I was expecting two beat-down kind of games!

Now it’s Avery versus Grandpa in our family pool. On Monday night, Avery will be cheering for UConn to be the first back-to-back champion since 2007. And Grandpa will be rooting for the Boilermakers to win their first-ever NCAA men’s basketball national title. Who will take home the family trophy?
