ONE SHINING MOMENT

And that’s wrap on March Madness.

Trey Burke puts Michigan on his back with a 30-foot three pointer to force OT. This kid is unbelievable.

Fort Myers is now Dunk City, USA, and FGCU is captivating the country.

This is what March Madness is all about. Great piece by SB Nation, profiling Florida Golf Coast University.

Let’s hope the new Jesuit pope puts in a good word for Marquette Men’s Basketball on Selection Sunday. 

Read why Jesuit schools have a strong basketball tradition.

Thanks Matt Hetrick for the photo illustration!

Kudos to the Pope’s tailors who have been putting in work this past week.

Ballers:

Tumblr is looking for one fan for each school in this year’s NCAA Men’s basketball tourney to chronicle their experience with the Big Dance. Going to the games? Attending insane pep rallies? Flying on the plane with the team? Post about it on our special tournament Tumblr until your team goes home, and earn the admiration, respect and envy of your Tumblrpeers. We’ll pay you a small stipend, give you some Tumblr swag, and maybe even arrange a dinner with Tommy.*

To enter, tell us why you should represent your school during the tournament. Send us your pitch and link to your Tumblr via email to NCAABB2013@tumblr.com and we’ll choose the lucky 68 (that’s right, play-in teams too!).Good luck, and may the ball bounce ever in your favor.

* Tommy probably won’t have dinner with you (he prefers to eat alone) but we’ll give you the stipend and swag anyway.

Ballin’ idea, tumblr!

This is the craziest buzzer-beater you’ll ever see. Don’t argue!

Who’s excited for March Madness?

So if the NCAA can’t spell Atlanta, does that mean they’re banned from post-season play?
