Until last night, Avery was so sure that she would be a back-to-back champion in our family pool. But then Duke disappointed her and lost its Final Four game. That loss means that Karen wins the family trophy outright. Whatever happens in the final game between Florida and Houston will not affect our standings. So congratulations to Karen for her first trophy win! I’m sure she couldn’t be more thrilled.
