Employee productivity has taken somewhat of a nosedive in workplaces across America this week as we enter the rite of spring known as “March Madness” (AKA the 2015 NCAA Men’s National Basketball Championship).
Even those who don’t regularly follow college basketball get caught up in the hype. Everyone wants to participate in the office trash talk by picking the perfect bracket and trying to predict which team will emerge as this year’s Cinderella story. Up the trash talk a notch if your alma mater was lucky enough to earn a spot in the tournament – also known as the “Big Dance.”
Here at Echo360, we’ll be following the games closely and rooting for our 24 client schools competing in the Regional Playoff games that start today. In the words of the legendary hoops personality Dick Vitale, we’re hoping to see plenty of “trifectas” and “Dipsy-doo Dunk-a-roos” from the terrific players representing their institutions as they battle their way to the Final Four.
If we could, we’d have the pep bands and dancing mascots rocking the office as we don the colors and cheer for these great schools:
University of Alabama at Birmingham
University of Arkansas
UCLA
Georgetown University
Georgia State University
University of Georgia
Iowa State
University of Iowa
Indiana University at Bloomington
Purdue University
Notre Dame
University of Kansas
University of Kentucky
Louisiana State University
Michigan State University
Davidson College
University of North Carolina
St. Johns University
University of Buffalo
University of Cincinnati
Xavier
Coastal Carolina University
Baylor University
University of Texas Austin
Virginia Commonwealth University
Best of luck to all! We hope we'll be seeing one of these tough competitors cutting down the net after the National Championship game on April 6!
