 Xiaoke Ying Sophomore, University of Southern California Arcadia, California 23 correct, 3 incorrect 2/2 on rebound attempts (on 11 rebound opportunities) 19.82% in first on buzzer (22/111) 0/0 on Daily Doubles 1/2 in Final Jeopardy Average Coryat: $8,300 1st: 4.674% of the time. 2nd: 19.858% of the time. 3rd: 75.468% of the time. |
| Andy’s Thoughts: Tyler is the definite favorite here, though Nibir or Xiaoke could pull things off if things break their way (or Xiaoke finds her buzzer mojo). Note that if Tyler does not win, the winner would become only the fifth wild card to win a College Championship (and the first since Monica Thieu in Season 28). |
Since Alex Trebek’s diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer, many community members have been raising money. The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store is as well! All proceeds from any “Keep The Faith And We’ll Win” shirt sold will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. To date, nearly $500 has been raised.)
