“College basketball is built on passion and moments — from the athletes pushing the limits on the court to the buzzer beaters, the upsets, and the plays that make you jump out of your seat,” Grigsby said. “Through our partnership with the NCAA, Samsung Galaxy is bringing fans closer to the action than ever before, capturing the emotion and the moments that make March Madness unforgettable.”
