Hobokenite Tyshawn Taylor To Play in NCAA Championship Game

Even if you don't like basketball or you're doing badly on your bracket, there's a still a good reason to watch Monday night's NCAA championship game: Hoboken-native .

And everyone is talking about the senior point guard at Kansas University.

According to the Washington Post, Taylor chose basketball as a way to stay out of trouble. 

According to the Times Picayune, Taylor is "off the mark but still fired up." So far, Taylor has missed all three pointers in the tournament, the paper writes. 

Taylor and his mother, Jeanell, moved from Hoboken to Florida in 1997, to be closer to other family members. Although it's been a while since he has lived in Jersey, Taylor told Patch in 2010 that "Hoboken definitely molded me and built me to who I am right now."

Catch the championship game at 9 p.m. on Monday night.
