The NCAA Basketball National Championship: Who Ya Got?

After a month filled with madness and broken brackets, the game we've all been waiting for is finally here: the National Championship.

Monday night is looking to be a historic one yet again, as the repeat champs of the University of North Carolina look to defeat the top-seeded Gonzaga. Tipoff is scheduled for 9:20 p.m. ET in suburban Phoenix.

Gonzaga ended South Carolina’s Cinderella run in the 2017 NCAA Tournament with a 77-73 victory Saturday in the Final Four and North Carolina followed with a 77-76 win against Oregon.

This is Gonzaga's first appearance in the NCAA National Championship in school history.

North Carolina has won five NCAA championships, including two with Roy Williams as head coach (2005 and 2009).

Though the Tar Heels seem to be the popular favorite right now, don't count out Gonzaga just yet: they did have an undefeated record of 29-0 through the first half of the season and were ranked No. 1 in the nation's polls and placed above all others by every accepted major metric ranking system.

I just can't wait to see the game and the final outcome after such a crazy month of March. It's anybody's game.

Instagram's Newest Feature That You Can't Find Anywhere Else

Snapchat started the trend of story-telling, creating 24-hour snaps that you share to the world. Instagram now has this feature as well. Well, Instagram has changed the game again. This time, you can post multiple photos within a single feed post. As in, you swipe right and see multiple pictures all under one post. Sure, Twitter and Facebook have similar features where you can post multiple pictures at once, but not quite like this. Instagram, unlike Facebook, Twitter, and so on, is a photo-based social media platform. Before, only advertisers could do such a thing on Instagram, leaving the rest of us to pick only the best picture (or two at the most) to represent our big event, birthday or holiday to keep from spamming (and annoying) our follower’s feeds. To use the feature, you need to tap the ‘Select Multiple’ option first on the bottom of the photo or video you want to upload. From there, you can select the content you want to include; they’ll be numbered in the order th...

The Aftermath Of A Historic Super Bowl

Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images It's not about how Super Bowls start. It's about how they finish. Super Bowl LI started off with what could arguably be the most boring few hours of football in Super Bowl history. The Atlanta Falcons seemed to have the game in the bag. Quarterback Matt Ryan seemed to be doing everything right, whereas his opponent Tom Brady could not prevent getting sacked or missing wide-open receivers down the field. The lifeless Patriots were down 28-3 going into halftime. Lady Gaga was the only thing that seemed to give the game life. And then the Patriots happened. Granted, the first touchdown of the night coming from Tom Brady only came at the end of the third quarter and even then, the game didn't feel competitive in the slightest bit. But once that first score came, it was like taking candy from a baby for the Patriots. They went on a tear, defensively stopping the Falcons and then offensively, with Brady leading the way. Huge play after hug...

Snapchat Stories vs. Instagram Stories: Which One Works For Your Content

Mark Dalton Media Nowadays everyone is using either Snapchat, Instagram, or both. Two different social media platforms, yet very similar in some ways. "Stories" have been brought to life since Snapchat's existence and has very recently made an appearance Instagram. Which one is better for you and your content? The Difference Snapchat lets you share your content through a single track called a story, which is made up of 24 hours’ worth of image or video snaps that you’ve shared for others to see. Once a snap is 24 hours old, users can no longer view it unless you reshare it as it automatically deletes itself. Instagram, on the other hand, lets you share content through two tracks: the stories and the feed. Your feed is permanent and stays on your page collected with other pictures, whereas your stories only have a 24-hour life. By combining the permanency of your feed posts with the 24-hour duration of your stories, you can generate urgency while providing cons...
