This past week college basketball took a backseat with the Super Bowl capturing the world’s attention. But in a year and a couple of months, that stadium that held the Super Bowl will play host to the best event in sports, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four.

Welcome to another week of my winners and losers. I’m going to be honest, this week was hard. There were a lot of winners but not that many losers. The teams that lost, still won at some point throughout the week (i.e. Kansas, Xavier, Texas), so I had a tough time giving them the title of “loser”. And on the winners side there were a lot. Indiana, Providence, and Saint Mary’s, your performances have been noticed. Keep up the good work and someday you can be a winner on this prestigious list.

However, despite being an opener, she found a way to raise the crowd's energy and get them invested in her performance.

The children walk away from the tie-dye tents, triumphantly holding their dyed T-shirts for their parents to see.
