Rat Basketball Playoffs March 23, 2010

Will the rats get it right this year?
She shoots. She scores. The ball flies through the basketball hoop and so does the player. It’s the Rat Basketball Playoffs. Each of the Science Museum’s most experienced players represents one of the NCAA Final Four teams.

On Thursday, April 1, the rats are playing their own version of the championship. In the 2008 rat games Kansas defeated Memphis. That’s what happened in the NCAA tournament as well. Last year — well last year they weren’t so accurate. The rats did get North Carolina to the championship game, but they didn’t make North Carolina the national champions as they were in the NCAA.

How will the 2010 rat games compare to the 2010 men’s games? Time will tell. Come cheer on your favorite rats and find out. Included with exhibit admission.
