Step into the whirlwind of emotions and underdog tales that is March Madness, where dreams are made on the hardcourt and hearts are broken in the stands. We're pulling back the curtain on the tournament's most jaw-dropping moments, like NC State's heart-stopping tussle with the Oakland Grizzlies, and the rise of unsung hero Zach Golke from rideshare driver to center stage. As we celebrate the long-standing dedication of Oakland's coach and their seismic upset over Kentucky, you'll feel like you're right there in the stands, witnessing history in the making.
Feel the electric charge as we cheer on Stetson University's historic run from their first ASUN championship to their NCAA tournament debut, a testament to the transformative power of sports. We're dishing on Coach Donnie Jones's impact and President Roque's unwavering support that steered the Hatters through a season of firsts, and the media's colorful spin on past mascots that's got us grinning ear to ear. As we relive their gallant performance against a titan of basketball, the anticipation for what lies ahead for Stetson is as palpable as the roar of a crowd in overtime.
Finally, we're breaking down our March Madness bracket strategies, from Kenny's serendipitous auto-draft victory to the sentimental favorites that have us reminiscing and regretting in equal measure. We debate the contentious 'one and done' rule in the current NIL era, weighing the gains and losses of collegiate experience against the siren call of the pros.
