My personal favorite time of the year, "March Madness" for those of you living under a rock your entire life is the NCAA Mens Basketball National Championship Tournament. It starts out with 64 teams and it's one loss and you go home. People everywhere across the nation and some other parts of the world enter into office pools, side bets with friends all about who will pick the best bracket. The amount of money that changes hands "illegally" would make anyones jaw drop, the funny part is if we could be a fly on the wall i'd be willing to bet that the district attorney has an office pool with a five dollar buy in as well.
For the entire month of march you are guaranteed to have at least one good basketball game on per day, if not 3 or 4. The heart these college kids play with is awe inspiring, every possession, every shot, every play means the world to these teams and it's fascinating to watch. I love basketball as a sport and I truly believe that March Madness is when the sport is at its best.
So when you're filling out your bracket, it really doesn't matter some people get close by picking whose mascot would win in a fight, some on the color of the jersey's. What it all boils down to is luck because year in and year out something happens that throws a wrench into everyones bracket.
Moral of the Story
“I'd rather be lucky than good.”
