Basketball disappointment

by Elissa Gershowitz
Apr 05, 2022 | Filed in Blogs

My family roots for North Carolina, and needless to say, today we are a little bummed (and tired!). What a run — what a heartbreaker. Sometimes books can help; here are recommendations from the Guide/Reviews Database subject searches on: Sports--Basketball, Behavior--Sportsmanship, Behavior--Teamwork, Emotions--Disappointment, and...Sleep. Congrats to Kansas, the NCAA Division 1 Men's Basketball Champions, and to South Carolina, the NCAA Division 1 Women's Basketball Champions.
