Truly MARCH MADNESS

Who would have thought NO number 1 seed team, Ohio State, Kansas(picture above), Pittsburgh & Duke, would not get to the Final Four?!  NCAA Tournament is the most popular sporting event in the USA, with gambling, school & home team spirit, and that's how this tournament got its name "March Madness".  With gambling, you get a bracket and fill out which team you would think win it all.  It has been said, more money is gambled in this tournament than the playoff to Super Bowl in the NFL.

However, this year is a "bracket-buster".  Only TWO people out of 5 million, on ESPN NCAA Tournament Challenge, had the Final Four picks right, which were Kentucky, UConn, VCU and Butler, all teams are ranked below #3 seed (UConn being the only 3 seed).   1 million however did chose UConn, me being one & majority of the million being Tri-State people. 

The great Cinderella story of this years tournament is a number 11 seed team, Virginia Commonwealth University who many people thought they shouldn't of even been in the tournament in the first place.  Even though the Final Four was their last stop, the last time an 11 seed team made it to the Final Four was in 2006 and before that was in 1986, LSU over Memphis St.  The lowest seed to ever win the Championship was a number 8 team, Villanova in 1985.

So those 2 people out of the 5 million should sure think about becoming analyst or play lotto. Who would of thought this years Final Four would come to this?? Truly a MARCH MADNESS!
