It’s that time of year again! Baskets made, goals reached, and A LOT of Tums will be consumed! If your team made it, congratulations! If not, maybe next year. March is a great time of year for a sports fan. If you do not like the play-in game, or the “First Four” you’re not a basketball fan.

From Charleston to Charlotte, from Charlotte to Atlanta, from Atlanta to Mobile, and from Mobile to New Orleans, our dream became a reality. We had made it to the Crescent City for what was sure to be a busy and jam packed weekend of sports.
