When it comes to sports, there are few things better than the Men’s NCAA Basketball Tournament – more affectionately referred to as March Madness.

I love sports, but there is just something special about March Madness. I think a lot of it has to due with the fact that it’s win or go home, every single game. It’s not like the NBA where you have 5 and 7 game series in order to move on to the next round.

I’ll just throw in the fact that your’s truly, in one of my brackets on ESPN, picked 30 out of the first 32 games correctly. This is probably due more to sheer luck than it is any skill on my part.

For instance, I just thought Ohio State (the #1 team in the country) was going to lose to Xavier, but an Ohio State player hit a deep 3 point shot with only 2 seconds left in regualtion. The game is currently in overtime as I write this post.

Even though my perennial favorite, Duke, is absent from the tournament following a first round loss, I’m loving this year’s March Madness!
