Basketball, yeah? In the UK we don’t really have college/University sports on any sort of national level.

Apart from University Challenge.

Factually correct but also the most british answer ever.

As a brit. 👍

It does after you click on a game. It's in small font under the Follow button.

Thanks. I was trying to click on the game inside the blue bracket. I see it now. Appreciate the heads up.

I enjoy watching Football better; however the tournament is my favorite singular event.

Same here.

I don't work in that environment anymore, but I always enjoyed the camaraderie around being in an office pool with a bunch of coworkers.

Starting tomorrow there are games all day for four days straight. Gotta love it!

FALSE! 😁

I was here, in Michigan, with the other 105,490 fans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_NHL_Winter_Classic

The outdoor game in Tampa was pretty special. Coldest days in Florida in many years. No snow but it was still fun!

Is this real time as in continuous scoring/time keeping or like other sports you have to go in and out to see the time and score updates.

If it the first it needs rolling out to others asap.

I enjoy it. At the hospital I'm at, every unit/department is doing a bracket.

I'm JK. Hockey is a tough sport. It's just not one i grew up with so I don't really watch.

For me… March Madness is the day my fourth child was born. on that day, I held my daughter and watched on the tiny hospital tv for the first time in history a #16 seed beat a #1 seed.

I'm stressed, near broke, and just a middle-aged man in general… yet there's something special about little nobodies from little nobody schools take down top-tier schools. And for a day in their life, to know that the hard work nobody saw gets recognized and that they can be heroes just for one day.

Just try to watch this compilation of One Shining Moment (where instead of one season they did the best of all time) without tearing up 🥲

South is, but the Midwest has always been big into basketball because you can play inside during the cold months, and one or two kids can play basketball anytime they want. You can't do the same with Football.

I'm from Indiana, originally. My sister and I played HS basketball, my father did, and both my grandfathers.

Ok yeah I do know Indiana is a huge basketball town. Places like Ohio, Michigan, etc, I thought were huge college football spots

Michigan is basically Canada.

Michigan is basically Canada.

I wish.

 

[Ben1980]

Still got to come out and go back in to see the score update.

Apple’s definition of real time needs a rethink.

Good to know. Waiting for the app to be available in more countries.
