PITTSBURGH – This year’s March Madness has been like no other. The lower-ranking college teams are dominating the higher-ranking teams. What I think was the biggest upset, especially in the first round, was number three Kentucky vs. Number 14 Oakland. Kentucky had a tough game and just could not score. And Oakland had an amazing game, their players were playing some of the best basketball they have ever played. In the end, the score was Oakland, 80, and Kentucky, 76. This game’s outcome was a real upset, as this messed up many of the viewer’s March Madness brackets. However, this is not the only game to have done this. There are many other games that have affected a numerous number of brackets. As of now, for the NCAA tournament there are zero perfect brackets remaining. Have you been watching March Madness?
