Winning a national championship in college basketball might be the most difficult task among all major sports. In a win-or-go-home single-elimination tournament, almost anything can happen.
Due to this, the best team does not always bring home the hardware. As a matter of the fact, the champion in March Madness is quite often not the No. 1 team. That’s what makes the three weeks of postseason play so great.
Despite the randomness of the tournament, John Calipari has been one of the best postseason coaches in the sport. Of the coaches with at least 20 games of experience in this year’s tournament, no one has a higher winning percentage than Calipari.
