#153: March Madness Brackets, Mascots, and Hairstyles with Chris Hayes
You may have noticed we’re in the middle of March, which means it’s time for the greatest time of the sports year — March Madness.
It can seem daunting to fill out a bracket, particularly if you haven’t watched a lick of basketball all year. But there’s good news: It’s equally as difficult to fill out a bracket even if you have watched many basketball games.
Luckily, Chris Hayes and I are here to help you fill out your bracket. We share some actual basketball data, but more importantly, we break down schools based on mascots, hairstyles, and much more.
