The nets have been cut and the clock has struck midnight. No matter who you had winning or losing, the Big Dance has come to an end.
Every year, fans plan weeks in advance for this moment, and it seems as if this day is like kryptonite to every basketball fan.
For those of you who didn't watch the tournament this year or isn't a fan of basketball, this is for you. While you may not have wanted to watch the games, you should still know what exactly happened so that you can pull out the fake smile and act like you know exactly happened.
64 teams (no, not 68) made the tournament with a chance to head to Indianapolis with a chance to win the tournament.
Over 64 million brackets were made, and only one bracket was perfect after the round of 64.
Georgia State, with the help of RJ Hunter, went on a 13-0 run to defeat Baylor 57-56 — the first major upset of the tournament. (Thanks for busting my bracket!)

Congrats Duke on your fifth National Championship under the great Coach K.
