And oh yeah- The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament begins.
Every year people put their sports knowledge to the test to try and correctly guess the result of 64 basketball games. It's basically impossible to do so, but the joy is in the chase in this case. To correctly guess the final four, or the national champion is a feat in and of itself,
Which is why it is always entertaining when those who predict the most accurate bracket happen do do it by pure chance- whether its random or they base it in mascots or jersey colors. Anyone can be an expert in March because even the experts are proved wrong.
Everyone loves a Cinderella story. It's hard to choose upsets. On paper there's no way some teams should beat certain teams, but paper doesn't matter when the game is on the line.
I think I enjoy the tournament so much because it gives me someone to root for in every game. I am invested in each game because I have a desired outcome. In any other game or sport, if my team us not playing I am indifferent or even uninterested because I couldn't care less about the outcome. That is all different in NCAA Men's hoops.
Try your hand at it. If you've never done a bracket before here's how and here's where. Believe me, you'll get interested in the games real fast.
