march madness

So, the four-day marathon known as the opening weekend of the NCAA tournament is now in our rearview mirror. If your bracket busted like a cheap watch, you may not care too much about the rest of March Madness, so here are some ways to pass the time until a national championship is crowned:

What’s helicopter basketball you ask? Why it’s only the hottest new… actually no, this is just a one time stunt. Pulled off by Man vs. Internet, the stunt is the ‘world record’ shot attempt from a helicopter hovering over a basketball hoop 192 feet below. Factoring the wind and the height, it’s no easy feat.

The No. 2 ranked Missouri Tigers were one of the top teams in the nation all season long, but couldn't get past their opening game of the 2012 Men's NCAA Basketball Tournament. Kyle O'Quinn led the No. 15 ranked Spartans of Norfolk State University to a 86-84 victory Friday afternoon becoming just the fifth No. 15 seed to defeat a No. 2 seed in the tournaments history.
