Well that crazy time of the year has arrived yet again, (no not lil waynes birthday), March Madness! I'm sure by this point you have filled your brackets out and are ready to go for the big day tomorrow..
Today on ESPN's Sports Center they revealed President Obama's bracket (why hes working on his bracket and not the national budget escapes me, but I guess everyone needs a break) The President of the Free World predicts all 4 number 1's to make it to the final four, Ohio St./Duke/Kansas/Pitt, and he has picked Kansas to win it all... You might be saying to your self what does Obama know about basketball, he cant even figure out a way to lower the unemployment numbers..But in 2009 he did correctly pick UNC to win it all and last year he picked Kansas although they lost in the final four..Who knows if hes right or wrong, he has just as good of odds as the rest of us. Those odds by the way of random generating your bracket and being correct are 9.2 quintillion to 1..
Some NCAA fast facts:
- UCLA has the most titles (11) but hasn't won since 1995
- UCLA's John Wooden has the most wins as a coach (10), followed by Coach K (4)
- In 2014 the Final Four will be held in Jerry World, and will be in Texas 4 of the next 6 years.
- Oregon won the very first NCAA tournament way back in 1939 (46-33) against Ohio St.
- 6 times the championship game has gone in to overtime and once it has gone to triple overtime. (UNC vs Kansas) (54-53)
- 6 times the reigning champion has failed to make the tournament the following year.
- The deal CBS (Turner Broadcasting) just reached with the NCAA to exclusively broadcast the games is valued at 11-Billion dollars for the next 14 years.
You ask who's my pick, well I'm going to go with the little guy, George Mason anyone?
