March Madness would be underway right now but due to COVID-19, that is not possible. So like many schools across the country, EIU is coming up with a couple of its own brackets over the next couple of weeks. We invite you to vote on Twitter with information on the players (or other) from each bracket listed on our home page (www.eiupanthers.com) Thanks for participating…
