This year’s March Madness was truly "madness" as the NCAA’s men's basketball tournament was full of surprising upsets that destroyed viewers’ brackets across the country. After some exciting games, the two teams left standing are the University of Connecticut Huskies and the San Diego State Aztecs, a nearly unlikely matchup between a fourth and fifth seed that will be decided on Monday, April 3.
