The first weekend of the NCAA tournament is the best four days in sports. You can usually open a window as spring starts, there’s games for over 13 hours, and you are essentially guaranteed something that lends credence to the name “Madness.” We gather at Banners Central, fire up the big screen, make a ton of food, and set up camp. It’s absolutely a fantastic way to ring in spring (and a great use of vacation days).
Obviously, most of our attention was focused on Xavier this year.
