== Other Notable Players involved==
* [[Carlo Angiuli]] - Illinois
* [[Papa Chakravarthy]] - Kentucky
* [[Charles Dees]] - Missouri
* [[Greg Gauthier]] - Illinois
* [[Ted Gioia]] - District of Columbia
* [[Greg Peterson]] - Illinois

==Notes==
* This was the first time in 20 years that both Maryland and Virginia were not in the finals (Virginia by virtue of not attending).
* This was only the fourth finals not to feature Maryland.
* Illinois was the first Midwestern team to win the tournament, and only the fourth team not from the East Coast.
* The theme of the tournament was the 20th anniversary of the PAC. Thus, many of the team boni used recycled themes from previous tournaments, though no player/coach claimed that any of the actual questions were recycled.
* One of the highlights of the closing awards banquet was the humorous team statement filed by Missouri, and publicly read while their picture was displayed:
::''Missouri ... Despite numerous signs along Interstate-70 between St. Louis and Kansas City touting Missouri as the Cave State, we are '''not''' the Cave State. What we are is much more evident: we are the gateway to the downhill skiing excitement and cutting edge liberal scientific research of Kansas.''
