Andy Gross thinks March Madness is so exciting because, “You never know who is going to win it all and when there will be a big upset. Everybody has a chance.”
March Madness is a seeded basketball tournament featuring 68 of the best college basketball teams all over the country. All regular season long the 285 Division 1 schools vie for a spot in the historic tournament.
The tournament crams 63 games in 3 weeks and comes out with one national champion.
A popular thing that comes with the tournament is filling out brackets. Also known as the Tourney Pick ’em, trying to predict how the tournament will pan out exactly is a long standing tradition all over the country.
Gross commented on filling out his brackets, “I usually fill out a bracket, I have been for the last couple of years.”
