Monday, April 6th, 2015 the NCAA tournament aired its annual championship basketball game.
The Wisconsin Badgers and the Duke Blue Devils faced off after going through the March Madness brackets and coming out on top.
Both teams had to beat four other teams in the March Madness tournament before reaching the final.
Wisconsin was favored to win the championship due to their previous win over the undefeated Kentucky Wild Cats.
The first half had 11 lead changes and Duke was leading with seven fouls while Wisconsin only received two. The first half ended with a tied score of 36-36.
Wisconsin got a nine-point lead early in the second half. However, Duke answered back, with freshman, Grayson Allen, stepping up and taking control of the court.
Another Duke freshman, Tyus Jones, also led the team by sealing the deal with his free throws.
Duke senior captain, Quinn Cook, led defensively on the court throughout the game. He also scored the most three pointers and broke the record for most three pointers in a season.
Duke’s eight players managed to pull through the foul trouble and attained the 2015 Championship title. Jones was named the 2015 Most Outstanding Player of the game.
This was the team’s fifth championship title and they certainly deserved it. The three star seniors will be entering the NBA draft; while Duke may be losing three key players they are sure to gain five fresh faces to put on the court.
