Today, we're diving headfirst into March Madness, giving you the lowdown on everything you need to know as we gear up for an action-packed weekend of hoops.
Women's Tournament Update
The women's tournament kicks off today, and powerhouse teams like Stanford, South Carolina and LSU are set to hit the court. Check out our Instagram story for a quick breakdown of the tournament matchups and a sneak peek at what's to come.
But first, let's talk about a game-changing strategic partnership for the women's tournament. Epsilon and Opendoorse have teamed up to promote equity for female student-athletes in the Women's D1 Basketball Championship. Their "Work Together to Win" initiative encourages players to share what teamwork means on Instagram. Each participant receives $500, career planning resources and mentorship opportunities. It's a game-changer for women's sports.
Men's Tournament Highlights
Meanwhile, the men's tournament kicked off yesterday with jaw-dropping upsets, including Oregon's victory over South Carolina and Oakland's surprise win against Kentucky. With only a fraction of perfect brackets remaining, it's safe to say that March Madness is living up to its name.

Ohtani Intreperter Drama

Stay tuned as this story develops – it's bound to be a wild ride.
That's all for now, sports fans. Wishing you a fantastic weekend filled with buzzer-beaters, bracket-busters, and plenty of excitement. And remember, even if your bracket is busted, the thrill of March Madness is always worth it.
