After a hectic and busy midterms week, all residents of Italy got to enjoy a day off on March 17, St. Patty’s Day. While the cause of this national holiday was not a deep love for Ireland, shamrocks, and green beer, it was the 150th anniversary of Italy’s unification as a single nation, we were not about to argue semantics as to why we were able to take a day off in the middle of the week. Fortunately for us, this holiday occurred during the first round of the NCAA Basketball Tournament. In true American fashion, we spent the day crowded around three TVs hooked up to different laptops and streaming three games simultaneously. Featuring an exorbitant amount of upsets and ridiculous finishes, this was the perfect way to spend a relaxing Thursday in March. The only downside was that Penn State lost on a heart-breaking buzzer beater to Temple.

In tribute to the start of an exciting month of college basketball, here is a tribute to the voice of the tourney:
