It may only be late January, but March is right around the corner. The NCAA Tournament is like no other thing in all of sports. There are no single elimination tournaments this big in other sports.

Is it Time to Take the Spartans Seriously?
This year Michigan State basketball team is not like the ones of years past. At 11-5 the Spartans’ overall win percentage ranks among the worst in the Big Ten.

I am currently a college student at the University of Findlay in Findlay, Ohio. I am an International Business and Economics major but have interests in writing. I played collegiate soccer and have major interests in college sports. I write primarily about NCAA Division I Men's Basketball with some focus on the Big Ten. I write about all topics for College Hoops Daily and specifically about the Big Ten for College Sports Madness. I want to reach a wider audience and intend to continue writing even if I were not to get paid. I have interests in topics such as politics, government, international relations, and religion, but have not had an opportunity to write a published article on these topics. I enjoy all art, I have composed, produced, and sang on my own EP, painted, taken professional pictures for 231 Apparel, designed clothes for 231 Apparel, and much more. Although my education is focused on business, art is very much a part of my life.
