MaDENess Recap & Spring Showcase this Saturday!

The 2025 NCAA Tournament delivered once again—complete with buzzer-beaters, breakout stars, and the return of One Shining Moment to wrap it all up. While the Final Four lacked Cinderellas, the tournament still provided unforgettable moments. Amir “Aura” Khan, a student manager from McNeese, became an internet sensation, Alabama State executed a wild Hail Mary in the First Four, and John Calipari returned to form by guiding Arkansas to the Sweet 16. Florida took home the title in a nail-biter against Houston, and along the way, we witnessed Derik Queen’s buzzer-beater for Maryland, Alabama’s record-breaking 25 threes in a game, and standout performances from Duke’s Cooper Flagg and Auburn’s Johni Broome.

As for MaDENess—what a run! We have $1,290 in total payouts, 33 unique winners, and the top individual payout reached $150. The most games won by any one square? Six! Venmos are on the way, and thanks to everyone who played and kept the madness going off the court!
