March Madness starts to heat up

March and April are two of the best months of the year for sports fans at the University of San Diego. Not only is there a week off of school for spring break, but the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament, affectionately known as March Madness, also gets underway. The tournament has a nickname that could not be more fitting for this year’s tournament. That word is madness.

When the tournament started, Villanova, Kansas, North Carolina, and Gonzaga were the No. 1 seeds in each of the regions. Every year, millions of people submit their brackets with the hope that they could call themselves champions when that final buzzer goes off.
