March Madness has official hit the United States as the first rounds of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament began today. I may not be the authority on basketball at KFIZ, nor does it top football as my favorite sport, but I really enjoy watching the tournament along with everyone else. Every single team seems to really give it their all, and the greatest thing is that their not playing for a pay check, or a ring, or a bonus (although, one could argue that they're playing for their future NBA salary). They're playing (mostly) for pride. This seems especially evident with the lower seeded teams, who's only chance to be in the spotlight is by giving the country one of those huge upsets we all love to see.
So far, there's been some great games, and this first weekend is my favorite of the tournament. Sure, the Final Four and championship games are exciting, but when it's moving from one game to the next at a blistering pace and everyone has a chance to move on, it really can't be topped. On top of that, my bracket is being torn apart here early on, but that's nothing new, so I'm cool with it. How are yours doing?
