		<description><![CDATA[The NCAA tournamet brings a flood of emotions to all of those who follow the action, let alone those who are actually playing in the game. Shrieks, stomping, yelling, and even tears can be normal, but in this case, something seemed really wrong when Michael Carter-Williams looked up and saw his mother distraught and crying. At The Player&#8217;s Tribune, he shares his story of why he wanted his team to continue on to the next round of the playoffs so that he could keep his family away from the harsh reality of going &#8220;home&#8221;. During the second half of the Cal game in the Round of 32, I looked up into the stands and saw that my mom was crying. I was so confused. She gets stressed during games, but we were in control. Clearly something really bad had happened. I didn’t know what to do — I mean, I’m in the middle of a game. It almost didn’t feel real. Like a bad dream or something. So during whistles I kept looking at her like, “What’s going on?” She mouthed that everything was fine, but I knew it wasn’t. Visit The Player&#8217;s Tribune for the whole story&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Who doesn&#8217;t love an underdog? Well, the NCAA tournament is usually full of incredible cinderella stories, buzzer beaters, close games, and suspense, but it&#8217;s kinda nice to see an occasional upset throw everyone&#8217;s bracket for a major loop, right? Some people select their brackets based on studying statistics, some base their picks off of  the team color, and some base their selections out of spite for their spouse, sibling, colleague, etc. &#8211; nonetheless, it&#8217;s always fun to be &#8220;in the game&#8221;. So, if you haven&#8217;t made your bracket&#8217;s yet, you are running out of time! Ask a friend which pool they are in, and if they&#8217;re not in one, start one of your own. If you have already made your selections, we&#8217;re sure you&#8217;re very anxious for the madness to begin! To help put you in the mood, we&#8217;ve linked this post to the 5 NCAA Tournament Cinderella Stories to Remember Before March Madness Begins from BostInno. The stories mentioned in this post are classics &#8211; like, you&#8217;ll remember-where-you-were-when-you-watched-it kind of classic. We hope it inspires you and gets you excited about the upcoming tournament! Good luck to all and may the best team win!]]></description>
