March Madness - NCAA Basketball Tournament:Each year thousands of screaming fans pack gyms across America to watch college basketball enjoy its "March Madness" tournament that crowns the #1 team in NCAA basketball. March Madness has slowly gained in popularity and the TV networks (ESPN & CBS) have turned it into a real money maker. For 2 weeks at the end of March and into early April, college kids and adults of all ages are thrilled, amazed and often disappointed as their team gets knocked out of the tournament one by one. The tournament starts with 64 teams all seeded from #1 to #16 in four different brackets (South, West, East, North) and it's a single elimination tournament in which any team can beat any team on a given day which adds to the overall atmosphere and excitement. You can download a 2009 Men's Bracket in PDF format HERE. This year Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan will be host to the Final Four. The build up throughout the 2 weeks is what makes this event so special and office pools are rampant as alumni from top schools make their picks and hope for the best.
Tournament Websites:If you want information on teams, schedules, scores, highlights, videos, ... you name it, then go to the NCAA Men's Basketball homepage HERE. This the tournaments homepage and the best place to find what you want with team histories, player profiles, past stats, and predictions by top analyst. The CBS Sportsline college basketball website is HERE. Get exclusive features on projecting the field, the top 25 breakdown, player rankings, and March Madness on Demand. ESPN has another excellent site dedicated to tracking all the teams and rankings in men's college basketball HERE.
Yahoo Brackets - Make Your Own Picks!:One of the best websites to follow the tournament on is located HERE. It's the Yahoo Tournament Pick'Em page where you can not only pick your favorite teams and any upset you may be predicting, you can also see how you are doing versus millions of other entrants. There is no fee to play, just signup online and watch the results trickle in. All the picks are done online with drop down menus and you can need to have you selections made before the tournament deadline. Check the site in early March each year for the latest details. There is "Overall Leaderboard" that shows how many points the top people have. Get your friends/family/co-workers to sign up at Yahoo and see who knows the most when it comes to choosing college basketball teams in the NCAA Tournament.
Past NCAA Basketball Champions:The tournament was started in 1939 with the inaugural winner being the University of Oregon. We have listed the past champions of the event starting in 1964 to the current 2008 champions (Kansas).
March Madness Tickets:First things first, tickets are not easy to get if you wait too long. If you are a student at any school that is in the tournament you do get a chance at tickets before anyone else through your school. Otherwise, you will be left to buy tickets from Ticketmaster.com or from ticket sites like StubHub.com. Ebay and Craigslist.org may also be a good source for purchasing scalped tickets online. Go to the tournament websites listed above so you can check out where the 1st round, 2nd round, Regionals, Final Four & Championship will be played so you can determine if it's possible to go.
