It’s March and I’m mad.
Schoolwork is piling up. The weather is either too hot or too cold. To top it all off, my March Madness bracket is hopelessly, irredeemably busted.
The 2022 NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Basketball tournaments kicked off March 15 and 16, respectively. These two annual tournaments put the best 68 teams in college basketball through the crucible of tough competition, intense media pressure and one very large, scary-looking bracket.
Around 36.5 million Americans combined to fill out approximately 70 million brackets this March, according to Statista.
