Final Four Report: Tax Men lead Elders and Win-Docs heading to Indy

Amherst, N.Y. -- The Tax Men, behind Frank the Tank and the West Regional's top-seeded Wisconsin Badgers maintained its Calcutta lead heading to the Final Four at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

The race is down to three teams, all who will cash in this year's Calcutta. The Tax Men (12 wins) have a slight lead over the Elders (11 wins) who rode the Michigan State Spartans into the Final Four with hopes of overtaking the front-runners. The Win-Docs (10 points) loom in third and can only tie for the title, and can do so via a Duke national championship over Kentucky.

Let's breakdown the scenarios from the most likely to the least likely based on Vegas and the likely favorites:

Scenario 1:
Kentucky and Duke advance to the title and Kentucky wins:
Tax Men (12)
Win-Docs (11)
Elders (11)

Scenario 2:
Kentucky and Duke advance and Duke wins:
Tax Men (12)
Win-Docs (12)
Elders (11)

Scenario 3:
Kentucky and Michigan State advance, and Kentucky wins:
Tax Men (12)
Elders (12)
Win-Docs (10)

Scenario 4:
Kentucky and Michigan State advance, and Michigan State wins
Elders (13)
Tax Men (12)
Win-Docs (10)

Scenario 5:
Wisconsin and Duke advance, and Wisconsin wins:
Tax Men (14)
Elders (11)
Win-Docs (11)

Scenario 6:
Wisconsin and Duke advance, and Duke wins:
Tax Men (13)
Win-Docs (12)
Elders (11)

Scenario 7:
Wisconsin and Michigan State advance, and Wisconsin wins:
Tax Men (14)
Elders (12)
Win-Docs (10)

Scenario 8:
Wisconsin and Michigan State advance, and Michigan State wins:
Tax Men (13)
Elders (13)
Win-Docs (10)

So basically the Tax Men can claim (4 scenarios) or tie for (3 scenarios) a Calcutta title in all but one scenario (a Michigan State title win over Kentucky), so they're looking pretty good heading into Indy, but congrats to all three teams for having a shot at the title on the final weekend and good luck.
