Go UNI Go

So March madness has finally began officially today. With the first round beginning today and the many games that are all scheduled today there is one team that I hope to do well in the tournament. That is the Panthers of UNI. I know that they might not make it as far as say UNC but hey at least they made into the tournament. They face off today against Purdue, who both them and UNI are successful teams and their records are not that far apart the only thing that really separates the records are like 3 games. Even though there have been many accounts in the past NCAA tournaments that the number 12 team always has an upset against a higher ranked team, I think that this game will be a close one, hopefully for me with an outcome of the panthers moving onto the second round of play. Why UNI? Well I have basically been following UNI teams pretty much my entire life with my dad being a graduate of the university; I have gone to many different sports ranging from football to wrestling. And I have been going to football games with my dad since I was like 9, and it’s to go, because it’s a fun experience to see how into some of the fans get into the game. I’m not going to lie have found myself getting pretty excited as well, but sometimes it my dad that out shines me when it comes to the whole excitement thing. I’m not saying that he is a crazy super fan or anything like that but he does sometimes get carried away. But any way back to basketball. The only thing that I don’t like about the games that happen during the day is that some teachers like to put the games on and some choose not to, so it’s hard to get updates on what’s going on with what team. So I’m hoping that they can pull through one of those lower ranked upsets and pull through a win and be able to move onto the second round, that would be something to see.
