The second day of March Madness brought the same level of thrills and excitement seen on the first day. Many college basketball fans took the day off or left work early to watch Friday鈥檚 slate of games at D.C.-area bars and restaurants.
One of those establishments was The Admiral in Northwest D.C. Dozens of fans packed the restaurant Friday afternoon with more arriving during happy hour.
Fans roared with excitement when the Kentucky men鈥檚 basketball team tied its first-round game against Santa Clara with a last-second two-pointer.
One of those fans was Dan, who is the owner of a hospitality company. He chose to close his office early to enjoy all the college basketball action with a large group of Virginia basketball fans.
He told 海角精品黑料 that he did have to ask 鈥渦pper management,鈥� also known as his wife, if he could come out to watch games, saying 鈥渢his is not a normal Friday afternoon.鈥�
鈥淚t鈥檚 fun,鈥� he said. 鈥淭he weather is great outside; (March Madness) is one of the best sporting events of the year.鈥�
After a long day of studying at George Washington University, Zach said he was originally planning to go home and watch Virginia take on Wright State. After some convincing from his friends, he joined them at The Admiral to enjoying the game while drinking a beer.
鈥淚t鈥檚 always a great time watching it at home if things go well,鈥� Zach said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a guaranteed great time if you are out with friends because you can always make up for disappointment in the games with camaraderie.鈥�
Admiral management told 海角精品黑料 it plans to see more fans come out to see games during the weekend slate of games.
