March Madness 2018 🏀

In case you missed it, it’s March, which means football’s out, basketball’s in, and baseball’s something you remember hearing about, but don’t really care about until April.

During the NCAA Selection Show last night, 36 basketball teams were chosen to compete in the Division 1 Men’s Basketball tournament deemed “March Madness”.

For the TB;DW (Too Boring, Didn’t Watch):

36 teams were chosen to compete as “at-large” bids
32 teams made it automatically by winning their conference tournament championship
That’s 68 total teams for those of you keeping count
The Gamecocks are out. Clemson is in at a No. 5 seed. College of Charleston snuck in with a No. 13 seed after winning the Colonial Conference.

Now what? You need to join our bracket challenge by clicking the button below. Here’s what you need to know:

We’re giving away $100 bucks to the best overall bracket and $50 to the best bracket in each of the other three cities.

If you need me, I’ll be drowning in my March Sadness. Hope of repeating last year’s SINderella Story may be gone, but forever to thee, Frank Martin + Gamecock Basketball.
