Final: Duke wins 5th title, 68-63. The 131 points means Nwspring and Patton split the $40 Bonus. For Patton, small consolation after losing 4th with Wisconsin’s loss. Big Luther is our 2nd two-time champion. PRIDE OF TROY takes 2nd and Dance Time Boyz takes 3rd. Wuk3 wins tiebreaker to take 4th over Will I Ever Win This (5th). Flying Ace wins 6th.
2nd <2′: Sorry, kids are home. Duke (let conspiracy theories commence!) roars to 8 point lead 66-58.
2nd 6:41: We’re tied! 54 all.
2nd 10′: Duke’s battled back without their Okafor, down 51-50. The 101 points projects to 134. No change in Bonus.
2nd: 11:43: Wis 51-45. Duke’s Grayson Allen single-handedly keeping Duke in the game with his aggressiveness despite his size.
2nd 13:17: Badgers largest lead 48-39. Duke in foul trouble but lots of time left.
2nd 15′: Badgers 44-39. The 83 points projects to 133. Never Winning (Wis) or Dropping Dimes/Krispy Seconds (tie) (Duke) in good shape.
2nd 18′: Wisconsin jumps to 38-33 lead. Just got home from work and watching on phone since kids took iPad. Badgers missing free throws? Decker airballs?
Halftime: 31-31. First tie in title game since ’88. The 62 points projects to 124 and that would give RN the Bonus if Wisconsin wins and TURNOVER PRONE if Duke wins.
