What exactly is March Madness? It sounds like a month where are all the most aggravating things surface at once– like waiting on the IRS to send your refund and getting pinched by people on St. Patrick’s Day after you’ve already warned them about the repercussions. Or it could signify the fact that we’re 90 days into the new year and your crush still doesn’t quite get it! But your man and guy pals know March Madness is all about men and women’s college basketball. This year the National Collegiate Athletic Association fun begins begins March 14th and ends the first week of April. If you don’t know much about this sporting event, we’ve got you covered! Here are some ways you can make sense of March Madness.
- Google it. When in doubt, the internet can figure it out. If you know your man likes college basketball, take the initiative to learn what all the hoopla is about. Most guys don’t think we know this sporting event exists, so just the mention of the event will make you sound semi-knowledgeable on the subject and you’ll have a slight clue of what it entails if he brings it up.
- Make it a date. You can make it a b-ball and chill kind of day in the comfort of your home, or you and your girls can head to a sports bar and flirt with the night away. You can also make it road trip and catch a game in one of the host cities.
- It’s not just a boy’s game. Don’t forget that March is women’s history month’ heck out the women’s teams as well. A’ja Wilson, Brianna Turner, and Nina Davis are something serious on the court.
- Just pick the coolest mascot. If you’re like me, you have no intention of dissecting each team’s strengths and weaknesses to determine who will win. There’s almost 300 teams and ain’t nobody got time for that! So with that being said, root for the team who you think has the best mascot. NCAA team mascots fall in the categories of people, cats, birds, dogs, bears, mythical creatures, weather/elements, and some really random stuff.
- Make it your mini mental vacation. If you cohabitate with your man, this might be the perfect opportunity to unplug from everything and do something you love. Order him a pizza and flee the scene for a few hours, especially if having me-time is not something you get to do often.
