NCAA Tournament Again

As a write this, the 'Elite 8' is set. There are only 8 teams remaining in college basketball, and this tournament has certainly been madness. My two brackets have been busted but I am okay with that because there has been some great basketball. Emotions are running as high as ever as teams, especially the seniors, play for their basketball lives. These seniors have been working hard for the past four or five years of their life on their college team, and this is their last chance for basketball glory unless they find their way onto an NBA roster, which is only the case for the elite. It is sad to watch dreams and careers be crushed on a full court shot, but it is equally amazing to see careers get extended and possibly ensure they will never die by hitting an iconic buzzer beater.

NCAA Tournament

Today is the first day of the 2016 NCAA Men's Basketball Division I Tournament, or more appropriately called March Madness. So far, it has certainly lived up to the Madness. As I write this, the first days games are not yet over, and there has been an upset in 4 out of 11 of the games. I believe that this day may possibly be the best day of the year in sports. Everybody is excited about their brackets because everyone believes they have filled out a perfect bracket, and they will easily win the bracket pool with their friends. Then when the game starts, everybody has their phone in their laps, live streaming a game between a couple of teams they may have never heard of, but they passionately root for who they picked. More often than I'd like to admit, my dreams of a perfect bracket almost always go out the door within the first two hours of the tournament, just like this year. However, my champion is still kicking, and I have to feel good about that. Go Huskies.
