The week had a slow start but it surely got interesting. On Monday, the Philadelphia 76ers signed high school senior Kevin Grow on a two-day contract. Grow has down-syndrome and became famous after playing for his high school basketball team and scoring the buzzer beater point.   Grow debuted with the team on Tuesday.
 

 
 
 
It’s time to change your March Madness brackets because no.1 Syracuse’s undefeated record was tainted with a loss on Wednesday by Boston College.  The game went into overtime and ended with a win for Boston College 62-59 points Syracuse had a record winning streak of 25-0.

On Thursday the two men accused for beating San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow pleaded guilty and received four years in prison each.  Stow was severely beaten in 2011 after he attended a Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Francisco Giants game. The beating left Stow brain damaged and disabled. As his sister Erin Collins said during court, “Brian can’t go to the bathroom by himself, he can’t shower by himself, he has to wear adult diapers.”
