No Wonder Why It's Called March Madness


What a great weekend of college basketball in the NCAA Tournament. There were more upsets, more surprising victories and much more. Many people had their brackets busted by the lowly 10 seed Davidson upsetting a 7,2,3 and nearly a #1 seed. Finally the Kansas Jayhawks held off the Davidson Wildcats and there was a lot of tension with Davidson missing a shot at the buzzer to go to the Final four. The biggest surprise was all four #1 seeds making the Final Four. The North Carolina Tar Heels, the Kansas Jayhawks, the UCLA Bruins, and the Memphis Tigers became the first four #1 seeds to all make the Final Four in the entire history of the NCAA Tournament. Every year there is always the sleeper team that beats one of the #1 seeds. This year a couple of teams came close but the four best teams prevailed. There can be no argument of the selection committee as they got the four number one seeds right. I am rooting for the two underdogs Kansas and UCLA as I am in a couple of brackets and both have them in the championship game. Honestly I believe that North Carolina and Memphis have better chances to win but you never know what could happen. All of these teams are extremely talented and all have incredible coaches that will benefit each team.
