Welcome to Monday, where March Madness is full steam ahead, but the real MVPs? Emotional coaches, surprise Instagram relationships and a viral morning routine that includes face dunking in sparkling water. Let’s get into it.
🧹 So Far, It’s a Clean Sweep
Men’s March Madness is off to a shockingly tame start. There were zero upsets from the top four seeds in the first two rounds. UConn’s dream of a three-peat? 💥 Crushed by No. 1 seed Florida. Their head coach, Dan Hurley, didn’t exactly go quietly into that good night—he told us how he really felt about the refs (hint: not thrilled).
Meanwhile, UCLA’s coach Mick Cronin went off… on Allegiant Airlines. After getting bounced from the tourney, he told reporters he mainly was dreading the flight home on what he called a “terrible plane.” 🛩️ Someone get that man a neck pillow and a cocktail.
👟 Women’s Bracket = Predictable… For Now
Over in women’s hoops, there’s been zero Cinderella energy. For the first time since 1994, no team seeded 11–16 made it to the second round. That’s wild. UConn dropped 103 points on Arkansas State in round one (😳), and their coach, Geno Auriemma, blasted the NCAA for making ASU stay an hour away from the arena. "Those kids deserve better," he said.
🐅 Tiger’s Got a New Teammate
Tiger Woods made it official on Instagram with Vanessa Trump (Don Jr.'s ex). The two have allegedly been quietly dating since Thanksgiving, but Tiger took it to the grid this weekend and asked for privacy in his post that hard-launched their relationship. Their kids go to the same school in Palm Beach.
🍌 Viral Fitness Routine… or Performance Art?
