MARCH MADNESS
It's that time of year again, when all the chatter about teams involves phrases like: body of work; good wins; bad losses; and of course, RPIs and the dreaded "bubble." But once the bracket is revealed, how -- and even why -- teams got in matters little, and the excitement of following your bracket begins.

Some years
the Super Bowl stinks; some years the World Series is a dud. But the NCAA
Tournament — with its 68 teams, from all across USA and featuring an
endless supply of fascinating characters and unlikely heroes — always
satisfies. It gives sports fans (or just office pool dabblers) a stake in the
action, and it is a constant generator of storylines. No matter how angry you
might be at college basketball, no matter how fundamentally unfair you may feel
the sport is, no matter how absurd it is that coaches sign
million-dollar shoe contracts but players are punished for trying to
get their often-underprivilged families some money to survive... the tournament
always wins you over.
This tournament has been filled with indelible moments, from stunning
buzzer-beaters to superstar individual performances. And this doesn’t even
include what is arguably the biggest underdog story of the tournament’s
history: tiny Maryland-Baltimore County defeating Virginia, the first time a
No. 16 seed has ever beaten a No. 1 seed. In keeping with this
trend, the Final Four is particularly enticing. You have:
- Kansas, a classic, blueblood college basketball program, whose
first coach happens to be the guy who invented basketball
- Villanova, a big-city
college basketball school that has over the last half-decade entered the
elite top-tier of the sport, culminating in the most
exciting ending to a national championship game ever in 2016
- Michigan, one of the top
brands in college sports, with a massive, affluent alumni base spread all
across the country (and the team most likely to have the most fans who
travel to San Antonio)
- Loyola of Chicago, the most unlikely Final Four team in at least a decade, cheerlead by a beloved nun — the now ubiquitious Sister Jean
