March filled with Madness

When March First comes around everyone begins to talk about the NCAA tournament. The tournament consists of a field of the 65 best teams in college basketball. Some of these teams are automatically given a bid by winning their confrence tournaments, and others are voted in by a comitee full of experts on College basketball. The questions asked are who will make it and of the select teams that do make it who will be crowned as the champion? This year these questions are especially confusing because the confrence tournaments this season have been full of upsets and the teams that many though were the best may not turn out to be. For instance, In the Big East quarter finals both projected number one seeds Conneticut and Pittsburg lost to teams that were questionable to even make the NCAA tournament. Conneticut lost Syracuse in a thrilling six over time game and Pittsburg lost to West Virginia in another thriller. Also a third projected number one seed in North Caralina lost in the Semi-Final game of the Atlanic Coast Confrence (ACC) tournament to a team also on the bubble of the tournament in Florida State. With all of these top ranked teams losing in their confrence tournaments it makes it very confusing for experts to predict a champion.
