March Has Arrived!

  

Six SEC Teams Make it to NCAA Tournament - ESPN 98.1 FM - 850 AM WRUF

            The best month of the year is finally here! Soon we will be able to compete with our friends by filling brackets to predict who will take home the NCAA championship. March is truly just one shining moment.

            Not only is the biggest college tournament going on, but MLB spring training is also underway and Opening Day kicks off at the end of the month as well. The NHL and NBA are both coming down to the end of their seasons where teams are still fighting for postseason spots.

            Whether you follow college basketball or not, everyone is into the NCAA tournament. There is just a certain vibe surrounding this tournament that makes it better than every other postseason format.

            For me, it is the non-stop action that is what makes the tournament so great, especially within the first couple of days of the tournament. Although it is just the start of the tournament, in my opinion the first and second rounds are the best rounds of the NCAA tournament because of the nonstop upsets and that the wait is finally over.

           It's March and anything can happen, and I mean ANYTHING. Upsets happen left and right and when that #13 seed upsets the #4 seed and ruins everyone's bracket, March just gets even better. This is what makes the tournament so special and exciting.

            Any given day a higher-ranked team could have an off-day and all of a sudden that lower seed ends their season and pulls off the upset. The regular season means nothing in March. When the tournament starts, everyone has a record of 0-0 and it is a totally different season and a fresh start for these championship hungry teams.

            There is nothing not to like about march madness, unless your team loses, or your bracket gets busted. At the end of the day, you are never going to have a perfect bracket and you just have to enjoy March Madness while you can. There is no other playoff or tournament that has this much hype surrounding it. February is over and March is here!

ACC & Big 12 Approves new CFP Revenue Model

Image
 Are They ACCtually in Trouble? Sage Rubin, Swish Tribune Despite moving to 12 teams, the College Football Playoff is set to move to 14 teams in the coming years. However, this time, there is a twist: Both the SEC and the Big Ten conferences are set to take 58% of the generated revenue, while the ACC and Big 12 are set to take 32% of the revenue, leaving Notre Dame and the G5 to take the other 10% of revenue. While this may seem like a no-brainer for the ACC and Big 12 as this ensures at least a somewhat large share of the pie in a world where we are beginning to see two power conferences emerge… this was a much more dangerous decision on the ACC’s end and here’s why. FSU and the ACC are currently in a lengthy legal battle involving FSU trying to set themselves up for an exit from the ACC, citing that the conference has hampered their ability to compete with the competition. The most prominent example of this was the controversial College Football Playoff Selection Show that aired ...

My Knicks Trade Deadline Wishlist

Image
Written By: Spencer Teman, of Swish Tribune The NBA Trade Deadline is just days away and many teams are in need of making a move including the New York Knicks. The Knicks have been one of the hottest teams of late, being 9-1 in their last 10 games, but they are not anywhere near perfect as a roster just yet.  The Knicks already made one of the biggest trades in the NBA this season when they acquired OG Anunoby from Toronto, but their next move needs to be centered around acquiring another shooter that can play valuable minutes off the bench.  Once the Knicks are fully healthy again, they have a tremendous starting lineup, but ever since they traded away RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, and also with multiple injuries, their depth has been tested. The only way you can be successful as a team in the NBA is to be able to knock down 3's at a highly consistent rate.  The perfect guy that comes to mind for the Knicks, who fits Tom Thibodeau's wishlist, is Bruce Brown. Bruce Br...
