Governors Scott Walker and Pat McCrory offered up a friendly wager today on tonight's NCAA Championship game.

"This is such an incredible moment for all of us here in Wisconsin," Governor Walker said. "The members of the Badger men's basketball team represent Wisconsin so well with their talent, class, personality, and great character. Duke is a formidable opponent, but this is Wisconsin's year to bring home the victory. Make "em believe!"

Governor Walker bet an assortment of Wisconsin cheese, sausage, and root beer that the Wisconsin Badgers will win, while Governor McCrory wagered North Carolina barbecue, coleslaw, hush puppies and Cheerwine for a Duke victory.

The Badgers tip off against the Blue Devils tonight at 8:18 p.m. CT. The game takes place at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
