At long last, March Madness has returned
It’s been a long two years since the last March Madness.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no NCAA Tournament last season due to health and safety precautions. Brackets remained empty, we remained home and the madness would have to wait for better days.
Finally, brackets are being filled out across the nation in preparation of this weekend’s round of 64.
