Each March, the NCAA holds the Division I college basketball championship, where 68 teams duel in a single elimination tournament for the title. The determination and passion of the incredible student-athletes guarantee each tournament is just as exciting as the last! It’s amazing being able to watch the dreams of some of these students come true, but equally tear jerking when most ultimately come up short. After all, a lot of them are just kids in the eyes of US moms.
The tournament began on March 18 and has been packed with upsets and fantastic games! In the first round, Mercer ousted perennial powerhouse Duke in the first round to secure the team’s first win in its history. Special congrats as well to North Dakota State, Cal Poly, Stephen F. Austin, and Albany who all earned their first ever tournament victories. Unfortunately, none of the Cinderellas made it all the way to the dance. Wichita State’s incredible perfect season came to an end in a stunning loss to Kentucky in the 3rd round. They look awfully tough to beat…
After a crazy week of around the clock games, the final 8 teams square off this weekend.
