Today's UPDATES

These past three days have been the best of my life this year alone, first day at my new program went great, I just need to be a little more ready every time I get there. But how about the first round of the 2018 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, we saw nine lower seeded teams make it to the second round, and one of those teams are the UMBC Retrievers, who became the first #16 Seed ever to defeat a #1 Seed in tournament history. The Virginia Cavaliers were the unfortunate #1 Seed to not only lose but be humiliated by a #16 Seed, the UMBC win was so amazing, that Little Caesars Pizza is offering a free Lunch Combo for a limited time on the day of the National Basketball Championship game. Max Sports is keeping track on all things NCAA, as well giving big updates on the NFL and NBA, for instance, the New York Jets made a big trade with the Indianapolis Colts regarding the NFL Draft. Gang Green traded their No. 6, 37 and 49 pick, and 2019 second round drafty pick to the Colts in exchange for the Jets moving up to the No. 3 Pick in Draft that was originally held by the Colts. This puts the jets in position to find themselves a decent rookie quarterback for them to draft after acquiring Teddy Bridgewater instead of Kirk Cousins last week. Meanwhile in the NBA, so far four teams have clinched the playoffs for next month, those being the Raptors, Celtics, Rockets, and Warriors. The NBA standings are very interesting because Raptors and Celtics are #1 and #2 respectively in the Eastern Conference, leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers in the #3 spot. The Western Conference is somewhat of a different story, the Rockets have won 55 games and are #1 in the West, and guess who's #2 and have won 53 games, the Warriors. So much to get through today, so let's get it started with these results from this weekend.

The drama of a #16 Seed Team beating a #1 Seed in the Division I Men's Basketball Tournament counties in our #TwitterTrend today. UMBC did not just win the game last Friday, but they also won everyone's hearts while busting their brackets in the process, as the first 16-seed to win a game in 135 attempts in Tournament history, the Retrievers have become what some people say "the darlings of March Madness." Their win was 100% incredible, and every NCAA Basketball fan who wrote down their own bracket before the tournament must still be in shock and now have to torched their brackets knowing that the impossible in the NCAA Tournament. When I saw the score between UMBC and Virgina, I was like "Holy OMG, is this really happening?!", that's just how special the tournament is because with all these games being played at once, anything van happen. So how exactly are people are reacting to these historic event on Twitter and other social media platforms, see for yourself.

No. 16 UMBC has blown out Virginia, the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament. This is truly one of the greatest upsets in the history of sports.

ESPN Fantasy Sports @ESPNFantasy

Congrats UMBC -- you busted the final 24 brackets!!! #PerfectBracketWatch

Derek @DerekTheScribe

UMBC looking at your bracket...

Rodger Sherman @rodger_sherman

The UMBC Retrievers have officially torn up all the brackets. They feel kinda guilty about it but IT WAS SO FUN

Dave Rappoccio @DrawPlayDave

MAY ALL BRACKETS BURN FOREVER

Dear @UMBC_MBB:

You may have broken my bracket, but you didn't break my heart. Cheers to the underdogs 🥂#MarchMaddness

Rich Eisen @richeisen

My 9-year old son, in his second year filling out a bracket, and who chose Virginia to make the Final Four, just turned to me, sighed and said: "My bracket's trash"

Couldn't have been prouder.

Aaron Brenner @Aaron_Brenner

My fiancée picked her bracket based on mascots. First game on the bracket, of course, was Cavaliers-Retrievers. She absolutely wanted the Retrievers. I told her “you’d be picking something that’s never happened.” She took UVA.

I guess ... I’m in the doghouse.

Marvel Studios' Avengers: Infinity War is just a month away from being released, and last Friday, not only were tickets for the movie went on sale, but a new trailer and poster came out in the progress. I have seen it and I loved every bit of it, we saw the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Avengers finally working together, we Spider-Man having an awkward moment with Doctor Strange, we saw the Black Order all in one scene, all of Wakanda standing tall with some of hour fellow heroes against the Mad Titan's forces,Thanos has himself a new look, and at the end we saw Captain America stopping Thanos from delivering an attack with his own two hands, but only for a dew moments I assume. The things we did not see in the trailer or poster are many other characters like Hawkeye and Ant-Man who fans saw were immediately missing from the Infinity Party, we still egt to see the Soul Stone, which I am dying to know where it is, but one thing we should be grateful that we didn't was at least one character dying or about to die. Ten years of watching MCU movie after MCU movie, trying to piece together this bif puzzle in my mind, and the new trailer has made me realized that it will pay off once Infinity War debuts. Web Choice gives the viewers of #KlicKNet a look back at the new trailer and is showing reactions from many youtube viewers who expressions tell the whole story about how they fell about this amazing film that Marvel has put together for fans worldwide.
