## Double the Trouble, Double the Fun: March Madness, Identical Twins, and a Clarion Ledger Adventure
Picture this: a sea of crimson and blue, the roar of the crowd deafening, the air electric with anticipation. That’s March Madness, baby! But for one Clarion Ledger writer, this year’s tournament took a wild turn. Get ready for a story about family, fate, and finding yourself courtside at the most exciting time of the year, all thanks to a mischievous twist of destiny involving an identical twin and a journey to cover Ole Miss vs. Iowa State.
A Week of March Madness
Spending time together in Milwaukee has felt, well, normal. Perhaps that’s to be expected. We talk pretty much every day. Part of the curse of being an identical twin is not being able to enjoy doing or hearing something fun until you’ve told your brother.
Spending Time Together in Milwaukee
The best part of March Madness has been meeting Ben’s friends. We’ve had the same set our whole lives. Meeting, and being immediately accepted by the people Ben works with on the Iowa State beat has been awesome. When I hung out at Steny’s Tavern & Grill on Thursday night with the Iowa State contingent, it felt like everyone already knew me. I guess in a way they did.
Getting to introduce the Ole Miss delegation to Ben has been priceless. For it to happen because a selection committee that doesn’t know either of us sent our teams to Milwaukee, and both teams advanced to the second round, is mind-boggling.
Meeting New People and Making Connections
Meeting Ben’s friends and being accepted by the Iowa State contingent has been awesome. Introducing the Ole Miss delegation to Ben has been priceless. For it to happen because a selection committee that doesn’t know either of us sent our teams to Milwaukee, and both teams advanced to the second round, is mind-boggling.
The Game and Its Implications
The game itself could go either way. Like the victorious team, one twin will head to Atlanta. The other will head home. The game, though, is just a piece of what has made the week so memorable.
The Unpredictability of March Madness
There’s talk the NCAA tournament has lacked chaos this year. For the first time since 2008, all four No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 and No. 4 seeds advanced to the second round. When I’m sitting courtside watching the team I cover play the team Ben covers, I’ll never doubt the March Madness moniker.
The significance of the NCAA tournament cannot be overstated. The lack of chaos in the 2025 NCAA tournament is a rare occurrence. The rarity of all four No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 seeds advancing to the second round is a testament to the unpredictability of March Madness.
