As March rolls up, we see a dramatic change in scenery. The NBA and NHL seasons are in their respective “dog days” as the playoffs are approaching but it seems like it’s not close enough. MLB is right around the corner. College football players are preparing for their spring games in a month, and college basketball leads us into March Madness.
Nobody counts the play-in games so when it’s all set and done, you have 64 teams walk into the tournament and one team walks out a national champion. It is a type of tournament where the favorites usually win it all but the underdogs have Cinderella runs that are sometimes talked about more than the champions themselves.
