See what we did there?
The all-time record for most points scored in the Pre-Tournament contest happened all the way back in 1996. Not coincidentally, that is also the only other year that more than one person picked a wildcard that made the Final Four (or even the Elite Eight). The all-time record holder, Brady, scored 379 points that year in a record that would last at least 19 years.
The all-time record for fewest points needed to win the Pre-Tournament contest happened in 2011 when Huffnagle won with 223 points. The 2nd-fewest points to win the contest happened just last season, when Baumgarten won with 257 points.
What's the relevance of the above trivia? Just peruse the information below and hopefully you'll figure it out.
IF MICHIGAN STATE WINS
1. Baumgarten, 429
2. Mahalko, 425
3. Karlsruher, 421
IF WISCONSIN WINS
1. Baumgarten, 394
2. Mahalko, 350
3. Karlsruher, 346
IF KENTUCKY WINS
1. Mahalko, 390
2. Karlsruher, 386
3. Harlan 2, 372
IF DUKE WINS
1. Tester, 360 (non-paying entry)
2. Baumgarten, 354
3. Mahalko, 350
4. Karlsruher, 346
So, Brady's record is only safe if Duke wins. And unless Kentucky wins, the new record holder will be someone who previously had the second-lowest winning total ever. Ain't life a funny thing?
