GET IN THE GAME 101 — March Madness Pool (Win a Free Class!)

Working in the NBA — I was that kid growing up who was printing all of the brackets out and passing them out at school. I’m guessing if you’re reading this, you were likely that kid too! When I got to the Trail Blazers, well, I did the same thing. Except this time, I had…
