Ever wonder why they call it March Madness? If so, I think that question was answered this month. Who would have ever seen Mercer taking down Duke in the first round? How many people predicted Dayton to go to the Sweet 16?
Warren Buffett offered $1 billion to anyone with a perfect bracket. It’s safe to say it didn’t happen and quite honestly, I’m pretty sure Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are about as real as a perfect bracket.
We definitely saw plenty of March Madness in the throughout the tournament. Three-of-the four 12 seeds beat a 5, and that fourth almost happened. One of those 12 seeds was Stephen F. Austin who defeated Shaka Smart and his VCU Rams in dramatic fashion, and it just might have been the beset game of the entire tournament so far.
There’s still madness left over for April as the Final Four is set to take place in Arlington on Saturday, April 5. The Florida Gators are set to take on a seven seed in the UConn Huskies while the eight seed Kentucky Wildcats will go up against the two seed Michigan Wolverines.
It’s hard to be sure of anything in the tournament but if there’s anything we know for sure, it’s that we’ll never know. Enjoy the rest of the madness.
