It happened to a principal at Hamilton Elementary School in Michigan. Dr. Pam Mathers, 62, ran 25.79 miles of the 26.2-mile marathon when the explosions occurred and she was unable to cross the finish line.

Duke was the #1 team until they lost to Miami, 90-63. They did bounce back with a win against Maryland, 84-64, but that wasn’t enough to get them back to #1. The new #1 team is Michigan who hasn’t been #1 in 20 years since the days of the Fab 5.
