March Madness Predictions

Well the nations best athletic tournament is among us now. And that tournament is March Madness. The NCAA college basketball tournament going all the way from the preliminary round to the sweet sixteen to the final four which is taking place in San Antonio, Texas this year. Which I may have the fortune of attending if i am lucky enough (pray for my good fortune).

This year i think will be a very good tournament with teams like UNC, Duke, Memphis, Tennessee, Kansas, Texas, and other condenders. Yet the best part about the tournaments is not how well the higher seeded teams perform, but how the higher seeded teams are hopefully upset in remarkable games by the unexpected wins from the underdog. Hopefully this year the exception to this rule will be Tennesse who will have to best UNC to get to the Final Four. This will be a tough task as UNC is the number one seed with the mvp of the year, Hansborough who is white. A uncommon race for the mvp in the game of basketball. I am cheering for Tennessee in the tournament but predict that UNC will win with there consistent playing performance. However with a game of similiar caliber when Tennessee upset memphis anything could happen.

The reason March Madness is the best athletic tournament in the states even over proffesional tounaments is because of the hunger the players have and the true love of the game. Proffesional athletics play to many games a year to be hungry and more importantly have lost the love of the game due to the demolition ball of money. College athletics requires much time and energy that would not be spent if a high love for the game was not within the player. Also college basketball is very much more of a team game that of proffesional sports inparticurlaly the NBA. Also its just flat out more exciting with a much larger fan base especially with growing numbers of college graduates.

However, i did emphasize the point it is the best tournament within the states because there are international athletic tournaments that are better such as the world cup, olympics, green narrows river race, and others.
