What is the story about?
Welcome
to BTSC’s Friday night open thread:
- Yesterday marked the start of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (the women’s tournament started today). Did you fill out a bracket? How is it looking so far?
- While I don’t really follow college basketball closely until the tournament, I still find it to be one of the more entertaining playoff systems to watch each year, especially the first two rounds. Which sport do you think has the most entertaining playoffs to watch?
- The best part of March Madness is when a small school — commonly referred to as a Cinderella — upsets a bigger, basketball school. What’s a moment from your life where you overcame incredible odds to achieve a personal victory no one expected?
- A lighter question: which school has the best mascot?
- Song of the Week: “Simulation Swarm” — Big Thief
This week, I got tickets to see one of my favorite bands this fall. While it isn’t exactly a perfect match for our basketball theme, “Simulation Swarm” sounds like something a head coach (or defensive coordinator in football) would conjure up as a mantra for their defense. Enjoy!
