It’s Monday, March 25 and we have a little break from March Madness for the next few days. College life can be busy, so at times it can be tough to keep up with the daily news cycle. That’s why we bring you Campus Connect, where you can catch the latest news in college sports and entertainment to keep on top of the buzz that everyone on campus will be talking about.
What happened last night? What events are coming up today? We have you covered with all of that and more.
Let’s dive right in.

The 2019 NCAA Tournament is in full swing with the opening weekend in the books. That means the competition is set to really ramp up with the Sweet 16 set to tip-off on Thursday, March 28 and continues through Friday, March 29.
Incredibly, for the first time ever in March Madness history, there is one perfect bracket remaining after opening weekend. NCAA.com tracks millions of brackets and one named “Center Road” on the Bracket Challenge Game is 48-of-48. The previous record for perfect picks lasted through the tournament’s opening 39 games.
