It's been a full week of basketball on basketball and this gal couldn't be happier. Upsets left and right, number on seeded teams dominating the ball, and last minute three point shots to win the game. It's that time of year where my hope lies in one man: Tom Izzo. My team is always going to be the Michigan State Spartans. So, here are 10 reasons why I absolutely live for March Madness.

1. Sitting expectantly by the TV waiting for Selection Sunday to begin

2. Printing out a fresh bracket that has yet to be busted- and it feels good

3. Discussing the different seeds with friends and fighting over who is going to the National Championship game

4. Getting into watching the round of 4 games despite the fact that the tournament technically hasn't even started yet

5. Proudly displaying your bracket at work or online so everybody can witness how great it is

6. Finding a way to schedule some time to watch the highlights of the first few games-- relishing in the NCAA's Boss Button

7. Talking smack with your friends when you had a lower-seeded team winning and they actually won! (Looking at you Middle Tennessee)

8. Finding every possible opportunity to watch the games

9. Spending the weekend after the first round watching highlights and assessing the damage to your bracket

10. Holding onto hope as the second round begins and also expectantly hoping your team makes it to the Elite 8.

Best of luck to my fellow March Madness friends and may the best under-seeded team win
