Ok, you got struck by lightening while a time/space wormhole passed by (or something similar) and this has somehow endowed you with the ability to control the outcome of the rest of this years NCAA tourney. You use your powers to make which outcome:

1. The UNCheats go down ignominiously to Arkansas today while we of course go on to win yet another Natty.

2. Duke and the UNCheats both make it to the NCAA championship game. Betting at sports books is going crazy reporting at least three times the usual action for an NCAA final. The game is hyped 24/7 on the sports channels and even gets national mainstream news attention. Even non college bball fans sit down to watch. We then:

a) Embarrass the UNCheats by dominating them all over the floor and winning by 20+ points. Our subs come in and mop up the last 2 minutes of the game. Crying baby blue fans everywhere, high school super phenoms with both Duke and UNC on their early lists mentally crossing off UNC.

b) Close game, back and forth throughout. But due to some bad calls and a lucky Berry bankshot UNC ends up with possession and a 6 point lead with 19 secs to go. Franklin street bar watch-parties are going crazy, cheering and screaming like you can't imagine, with fans inches toward the doors so they can be first out to join the massive Franklin street party about to commence!! Local, national and even international TV reporters are getting ready to talk to the cameras and do their on street interviews. Back to the game - we intercept the inbounds pass, have to move the ball around a bit but finally get it to Kennard who swishes a three with 8 secs left. Roy has 2 timeouts left but decides to save them. Starting to panic UNC throws the ball away again, this time with a bad pass to Berry that he can't handle and goes out of bounds. Possession to Duke with 7 secs left. Duke timeout. K calls up a play while Roy tells his players to just guard the 3 point line, leave the driving lanes open. Jones inbounds to Allen who has no space and JJ right in front of him, but he makes a couple quick fakes and finds just enough space to put up a contested 3 over JJ. Time expires as the ball is in the air and a whistle blows. Of course it's nothing but net AND a foul on JJ who caught Allen's wrist. So game tied, 0:00 on clock, boos pouring down on Allen as he steps up to shoot 1. Back on Franklin St you can hear a mouse sneeze from a block away. Grayson steps to the line, swish!!! Another Championship for Duke and UNCheat fans are crying and smashing items in bars and homes all across Chapel Hill and across the state and the nation as well. An irate UNC fan at the game runs onto the floor yelling at Grayson, so Allen smiles and trips him as he walks past.

3. Other.

Which would be your dream scenario? Or would it be something entirely different? You might be able to guess mine. :)

Number 1 for me, too, with the caveat that Berry has to play and play well, so they can't whine for the next decade about how they would've won if Berry had been healthy.

Since it's a wormhole, do I have time travel powers? Can I make them lose to Texas Southern?
