What a wild Elite Eight round! We’re so glad that the Big Ten made a great showing. We know that our favorite Illini fan (Grandpa) was thrilled to see them advance to the Final Four.
When it comes to our family pool, there are only two contenders: Grandma and Grandpa. Since Duke couldn’t hold on to the ball and gave away its game with a last-second shot, Grandma and Grandpa are the only two participants who still have their champions. And they play each other in the Final Four! So if Arizona wins on Saturday, then Grandpa gets the trophy. But if Michigan beats Arizona, then Grandma will be our champion. We’ll have to wait to see what happens!
