Duke students and fans celebrated around a giant bonfire on the Durham, N.C., campus after the victory.
Native Californian and recent adoptee of Wisconsin fanhood Aaron Rodgers congratulated the team on Twitter:
Mitt Romney, who was spotted ordering a pretzel in Indianapolis before the game, correctly picked Duke to win the championship against Wisconsin (along with 6/8 Elite Eight teams and 4/4 Final Four teams).
The former Republican presidential nominee's bracket finished in the 99.9th percentile in ESPN's Tournament Challenge, coming in 6,326th place of 11.57 million total brackets.
Meanwhile, President Obama, who picked Kentucky to win it all, came in 6,996,358th place.
