March Madness seems to be all people are talking about. From the moment that Notre Dame and Northeastern tipped the ball on Thursday millions of eyes have been glued to screens watching their favorite college teams play in this crazy tournament.
According to the NCAA, 181 million viewers tune in throughout the tournament across television, online and out-of-home platforms. Every single boy in my class had his Ipad out "working" while really they pulled up the games. Every time a teacher would come around, they would quickly click back to the actual work or just close the Ipad.
My favorite part of the madness is all the upsets that occur. Every year in this crazy tournament you can count on an upset. This year, tons of people's brackets were busted when number 1 seed, Villanova, lost to number 8 seed, NC State. On the very first day ,Thursday saw a record 5 one-point games:
- NC State 66, LSU 65
- UAB 60, Iowa St. 59
- Georgia St. 57, Baylor 56
- UCLA 60, SMU 59
- Cincinnati 66, Purdue 65 (in overtime)
I am excited to see who will come out number one. Hopefully there will be many more action packed, exciting and upset-filled games.
Predictions?
