The NCAA Basketball Tournament known as March Madness started this week. This annual tradition begins with more than 64 teams vying for the national NCAA men’s basketball title. A highlight from yesterday’s game in Portland involved a cheerleader.
During the game between Indiana University and St. Mary’s basketball teams, the ball got stuck behind the basket.

The New York Post reported:
Thursday’s first-round game between No. 5 Saint Mary’s and No. 12 Indiana, won 82-53 by the Gaels, was delayed in the second half when the ball became stuck on top of the backboard at the Moda Center in Portland.

Here’s a short video clip of the event.
