The past month has been an absolute whirlwind for basketball fans as March Madness, the biggest college basketball tournament of the year, took center stage. And what a tournament it was! The past few weeks have been full of upsets and surprising results, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.<\/p>\n\n

In the men’s tournament, the victory went to the University of Connecticut, and in the women’s tournament, it went to Louisiana State University.<\/p>\n\n

Men’s basketball <\/h2>\n\n

In the men’s tournament, the underdogs stole the show. Despite the rankings, which are usually a good predictor of success, this year they were thrown out the window. No number one team made it to the final, semi-final or even the quarterfinals! Madness indeed!<\/p>\n\n

The final was an intense matchup between the University of Connecticut and San Diego State, and the excitement didn’t stop there. Both universities had a Slamstox athlete, making the game even more thrilling. <\/p>\n\n

Lamont Butler of San Diego State scored a buzzer-beater in the semi-final, securing his team’s first NCAA final spot, while Uconn’s team made it to the championship by winning their semi-final game by a whopping 13 points. In the end, Uconn secured their fifth national title with a convincing 76-59 win.<\/p>\n\n

Women’s basketball <\/h2>\n\n

Over in the women’s tournament, Caitlin Clark of the University of Iowa stole the show, single-handedly leading her team to the final with an incredible 40+ points in both the semi-final and quarterfinal.<\/p>\n\n

However, LSU ultimately took home the win, thanks to a remarkable season from their nine new players. After a thrilling semi-final against number one Virginia Tech, they won the final against the Haws convincingly (102-85) and will go down in history as LSU’s first Women’s Basketball National Champion team ever!<\/p>\n\n
