UNC finishes with 1181.25 points. It's possible another school passed them for 4th. Stanford did this while scoring in only 16 sports. USC had 18 sports; Texas and UNC had 19. Hope I made a mistake somewhere.
NACDA posted the totals as of June 8. This table shows all the points for every sport that schools have received to date. Baseball and the 2 genders for outdoor track and field were not completed as of that date. However, Texas and USC are now out of baseball, and outdoor track and field just finished today. USC tied Texas A&M for first in the men's competition and finished in 2nd for the women's. Stanford got 0 points in the men's; the women finished in 6th, which is much higher than expected.

Somehow I'm much more upset that we lost to U$C by 2.5 points than if we had come in third to Texas and U$C by a country mile. That tiny disparity leads me to way too many woulda coulda shouldas....
Oh, I had the exact same thought. That tiny margin means that just about anything that resulted in one spot difference in the final finishing order changed the result of the Cup. We're not just talking about WGolf or MGym getting us a third NCAA team title. Imagine WLax holding on to complete the comeback in OT in the round of 16.
