March Madness is a college basketball sensory overload. It is pretty glorious.
And the first weekend, especially the first Thursday and Friday, are a frenzy of screams and yelps at the television as the action comes thick and fast, wrapping up America in the warm embrace of utter sporting chaos.
Maryland Terrapins forward Jalen Smith elicited one of the loudest shouts of the NCAA Tournament with a monstrous dunk in the Terps'
win over the Belmont Bruins.

March 21, 2019 Smith finished led the Terps with 19 points and 12 rebounds in Maryland's 79-77 win. Not to be outdone, Bruno Fernando, who embarrassed some poor shnook on Nebraska earlier this season, added 14 points and 13 rebounds and a massive jam of his own.
