It all starts in March bursting out of the gate. Tune into TNT, TBS, TRU TV or CBS and don’t be late. <\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

March Madness explodes as 68 teams hit the courts. It’s without a doubt the best three weeks in sports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

68 becomes 16 faster than you can say Amino Timberlake. Four days of non-stop action and none of it is fake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year in the West everybody liked the Zags. But after the Sweet Sixteen they were packing their bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Few and Timme Gonzaga just had to win. Arkansas sent them home for an early game of Gin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Razorbacks aren’t exactly 40 minutes of hell. But this team is good, you can just tell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duke beat them and the Hogs were done. Did you know for next season Arkansas is ranked number one? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike Krzyzewski guided the Blue Devils to the Final Four. The legend, in his last year, had Duke knocking at the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

North Carolina took Duke’s best shot and lived to see another day. Good night, farewell and a great career Coach K. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local fans insisted UCLA was going to give it a go. The Tar Heels said, nah, see ya later bro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bruins fought hard when push came to shove. Ultimately they were beat by a kid named Love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cinderella St. Peter’s was dancing in the East. An Elite Eight appearance and the Peacocks were ready to feast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carolina sent them home too but no reason to pout. A memorable season for St. Pete’s despite getting knocked out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the South Arizona was ready to roll. The Wildcats were a number one seed in everybody’s poll. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cats were fine until they faced a Houston squad. No Hakeem Olajuwon but Arizona still lost…odd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Villanova came out of the South with fight. Pretty common for a team coached by Jay Wright. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

USC was in the Midwest but nobody really knew it. In the very first round the Trojans blew it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miami winning a few games was kind of cool. Didn’t they used to be a football school?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that region Kansas was a lock. By the way what is a Jayhawk? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jayhawks topped Nova and then there were two. Who was going to beat them? Who? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tar Heels trotted out Love, Manek and Bacot. Kansas scoffed and said is that all you got? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carolina was feeling it up 15 at the break. Soon however the game was there for Kansas to take. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jayhawks caught and passed the Heels with Martin leading the way. Kansas was King at the end of the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again March Madness was the place to be. From beginning to end it’s must see TV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
