March Madness

The beginning of March is here and the excitement of March Madness arises. Who will make it to the big dance and who will be tough enough to make it to the Final Four? Brackets haven't been released yet however they will announce who made it to the tourney and what seeds they hold on March 11th. The anticipation of this time of year brings chills to the backs of many college basketball fans. Will their team be assigned one of the 64 available spots. The hype for this tournament is unreal. The best 64 teams in college hoops are allowed in and play for the championship. One loss in the tournament and a team's season is over. So who will be the big winner this year? Any guesses? Ohio State, Wisconsin, Texas, UCLA, and North Carolina are some of the powerhouses this year. The funny thing is, anyone can win this tournament. It's the survival of the fittest. It doesn't matter if a team is a #16 seed or a #1 seed, they can be knocked out in just one game. This factor alone is the reason the tournament is so unpredictable. Thus, the reason for the name March Madness. This is the reason why so many baskeball fans love this tournament. There are so many suprises and exciting games. Everyone wants to make it to the championship. All the teams give it their all to try and reach their dreams of becoming the National Champs. Only days stand between the release of the brackets. This is something that most fans take part in. They guess who will win which games. Who will make it far and who will be knocked out in the first round. It has been proven very difficult to predict upsets. There is no science to it. Even the "expert's" predictions are wrong sometimes. So, who will it be this year? Let the Madness Begin.
