March Madness bracketology: NCAA tournament bubble picture gets shakeup

Miami (Ohio) dropped its MAC quarterfinal to UMass to fall to 31-1 but the RedHawks don't fall out of the USA TODAY Sports bracketology field prediction after an unbeaten regular season.

USA TODAY Sports

Thanks to results elsewhere during conference championship week – including one crucial result in the SEC – the RedHawks dip down the No. 11 line into one of the NCAA tournament play-in games. This wouldn't be a terrible result for Miami, which is located just an hour from Dayton, Ohio, which hosts the play-in round.

Miami stays ahead of fellow bubble teams such as Auburn and Missouri, which lost in the second round of the SEC tournament, and Indiana, a loser to Northwestern in the Big Ten tournament.

Auburn had a chance to punch its NCAA ticket by beating Tennessee but couldn't stop freshman Nate Ament, who returned from injury after missing about two weeks and poured in 27 points in the Volunteers' 72-62 win. Missouri lost 78-72 to Kentucky and is now on the wrong side of the bubble.

Indiana was in position to make the field before its second loss of the season to Northwestern.

The bubble remains messy but is starting to get a little clearer as contenders advance in or fall out of tournament play.

One contender making a late move is Oklahoma, which dropped nine midseason games in a row but has rebounded to go 8-2 in its last 10. TheSoonershave recently added wins against Auburn, Texas before strong efforts against South Carolina and Texas A&M at the SEC tournament.

Two contenders to watch are Mountain West rivals San Diego State and New Mexico, which will meet in the conference semifinals. While the Aztecs or Lobos could make it easy by going ahead and winning the MWC title, the winner of the semifinal is in good shape for an at-large spot.

40 New Hand-Painted Movie Posters From Ghana That Look Nothing Like The Original Films

Movie posters are usually meant to give audiences a glimpse of what a film is actually about. But in Ghana, a completely different and wonderfully imaginative tradition took shape – one where creativity often mattered far more than accuracy.

Their goal is to preserve and promote the vibrant tradition of hand-painted Ghanaian movie posters while supporting the talented artists who continue to create them today.

This distinctive style dates back to the mobile cinema culture of the 1980s and 1990s, when traveling video clubs toured towns with a television, a VCR, and a generator to screen films. To attract audiences, local artists were asked to paint eye-catching posters – often without ever seeing the movie itself. Instead, they relied on brief descriptions, imagination, and their own dramatic flair.

The results were unforgettable. Action films became even more explosive, comedies sometimes looked surprisingly intense, and horror elements occasionally appeared where none existed. Over time, these posters grew into a celebrated art form, admired around the world for their bold colors, raw energy, and fearless creativity.

After serving several head-turning looks in Paris,Tylabrought Rome to a standstill by styling a Valentino shirt as a micro minidress with a disco ball twist. The Grammy winner attended Valentino's Fall 2026 after-show party on March 12, shortly after stunning in a slip top and a miniskirt at the show.

Tyla styles striped shirt as micro minidress with a cheeky disco ball twist for after-show dinner

Tyla's look centered around a crisp white, dramatically oversized pinstriped button-down shirt. A sleek black belt cinched it at the waist. Instead of styling the shirt traditionally, the Grammy winner allowed the hem to fall high on her thighs. The exaggerated cuffs and loose silhouette added to the relaxed feel, while the belted waist created shape and highlighted her figure.

Underneath the slightly open shirt, the "Water" singer wore a shimmering bralette. The metallic detailing on the bra caught the light as she moved, giving the otherwise minimal ensemble an eye-catching element. The disco ball-inspired piece contrasted with the structured pinstripes on the shirt. The look was a perfect blend of polished tailoring and nightlife glamour.

She had been carrying the same bag during her last outing in Paris when she had worn asnakeskin body tattooas a top. She completed her Rome after-show party look with Valentino'sRockstud Pumpwith Plus de Pois embroidery. The metallic stud details on the shoes echoed the sparkle of the bralette that peeked from underneath her shirt. The shoes' neutral tone also helped keep the overall palette cohesive.

The label's new creative director, Alessandro Michele, has brought the iconic shoe design back on the map with a little touch of his own. The singer had previously worn these same shoes for her appearance at Valentino's Spring 2026 Couture show in January. At the time, she had paired it with a one-shoulder minidress.

Rhett & Linkare looking back as their YouTube careers hit an impressive milestone.

On March 13, the content creation duo — known for nearly two decades of comedic videos — released the 3,000th episode of their flagship web series,Good Mythical Morning.

"Hitting this milestone is incredibly special to us and the Mythical crew," they continue. "Not just because of the number, but because of the community that's grown around the show. The Mythical Beasts have been with us every step of the way, and this episode is really a celebration of them as much as it is of us."

"Almost everybody who started at the beginning of YouTube when we were getting going is not still experiencing the traction that we are," Link said. "A lot of that is owed to the success of Good Mythical Morning, which wasn't the first thing we did. We started it as a side project, not knowing that it was gonna be our lifeline to our audience."

Rhett added that, while other content creators tried to chase viral trends for short-term success, they dug into a consistent show format to slowly build a reliable audience.

The pair have also not been shy when it comes to setting boundaries with their audience — even amid the rise of influencers who make a living sharing intimate details about their personal lives.

"If you get into a place where you're letting your audience lead you or you're just sitting there, cowering to them, to do the thing that they want from you, you're going to shrivel up creatively and personally," Rhett told PEOPLE. "Understanding how that relationship actually works has been a key to our longevity."
