March Madness

Another year another March Madness as the NCAA tournament starts on March 15th to begin the event waited for across the United States. The top number one seeds in the tournament are Virginia, Villanova, Kansas and Xavier with a high percentage of Virginia and Villanova facing in the finals. Many teams in the bracket, but only six games for the teams that advance on to the finals for the last remaining two. A lot of team’s means a chance for an upset with San Diego State ranked sixteenth versus Houston ranked sixth being the highest percentage being in that category. The other chance of an upset is Loyola Chicago ranked eleventh versus Miami ranked sixth being the other.
So many things can happen during March Madness which makes it the most watched event during this month due to the unpredictability that can happen from a last second shot, free throw or defensive stop. An opinion of mine is Georgia State can make a Cinderella run how Davidson did in 2008 when Stephen Curry played point guard for them. The key player or coach for Georgia State is Ron Hunter as he has made his way back to bracket since his son had graduated in 2015. Ron Hunter has earned his way to the bracket, as Georgia State’s basketball team is the number one team in the Sun Belt with most blocked shots.
Since the tournament starts on March 15th there will be a list of suggestions for which games to watch to kick off March Madness. Here are a couple of first-round games to keep your eyes glued to the television and a few more you can probably move around. A good match up is one on Thursday evening at 6:50 p.m. Villanova vs. Radford. Radford pulled a big win over LIU-Brooklyn in the first four to make it to the bracket. The previous couple of appearances the team has played in the NCAA tournament they ended up losing in first round. Lets just say that the streak will keep going and turn the total to three. Watch the match up only if you want to see what it would look like for two of Villanova’s star players play against a high school team.
             Another game to keep an eye on is Duke vs. Iona Thursday at 2:45 p.m. for a tier 5 match up. Duke has blown a ranked 2 vs.15 matchup before and has also blown a ranked 3 vs. 14 before too. The two stars on their roster should keep them in it to pull out the win. Tune in to watch them play to find out if it would be a blow out or will they get blown away.

Villanova Championship

When watching March Madness, you always expect the unexpected. There were a lot of upsets during the tournament with very few blowouts. Who would have thought that the blow out would come in the final as Villanova destroyed Michigan to win the N.C.A.A. Championship? Even though Villanova was considered a juggernaut team this year it did not look that way on paper due to no superstar caliber player on the roster. History will say otherwise as people will look back at Villanova and their planned supremacy through the six games played during the tournament as a team that was just a couple of steps ahead of the rest of the multiple slackers in Division I, a group that was forced to view revolutionary basketball play out before them. Villanova did not have to look like the Golden State Warriors hitting eighteen or more three pointers against Michigan. They found other options to get the job done in order to beat the wolverines. Villanova completed the season at the biggest stage blowing

Black Panther

When the “Black Panther” was released in theaters on February 16 th 2018, there was an overwhelming crowd that resulted in ticket sales that sold out. During the President’s Day weekend, the movie had began to break the box office records, as it was the second highest four-day opening in movie history with $242 million.
