NCAA Tournament Cancellation Due to COVID-19

Image
By: Andrew Mercer Photo by: Andrew Mercer A moment in sports that will go down in history as unforgettable is the cancellation of the 2020 March Madness NCAA Basketball Tournament. At first, the plan was to play both the conference tournaments and NCAA tournaments without fans in attendance. However, this quickly started to change for the worse and conference tournaments were being cancelled in the middle of games being played. A few days later the NCAA tournament was cancelled , and the season was ended altogether. Seniors on their respective teams would not get a chance to play in the NCAA tournament and lost their eligibility prematurely.  The decision to cancel the tournaments came shortly after the NBA postponed their season when one player tested positive for the virus. This demonstrates that the NCAA was paying close attention to what the NBA was up to and ultimately decided their outcome of having to completely cancel the season. The NCAA lost a great amount...

The NBA has been looking for ways to incorporate and advertise their league while being unable to play games or hold team practices. The first main event that has come from this pandemic is an NBA 2K tournament played by various players from NBA teams.

All things Target

By Taylor Long To many people, Target is somewhere to buy groceries or maybe a few necessities. For me, I could go walk around that store in the clothing or beauty section for hours. It's not that big, but Target makes me very indecisive at times. Although many people may disagree, I think that Target has one of the best clothing sections. Their clothes are fairly priced and very trendy. Instead of spending $100+ on a pair of jeans, you can buy some at Target for $20 which I call a win. The clothes sold at Target are super comfortable and cheaper than most stores in a mall. The women's athletic section at Target is quite small and maybe a little pricey, but they have some of the best work out clothes. Their leggings are some of the best I own even if they are on the high end of things. Also, they have a huge selection of swim suites, but can also be more money than what I want to spend.
