You know the thing about March Madness that can’t be answered on a bracket or a ton of fancy analytics is ONE SIMPLE QUESTION:
What kid (or kids) just decides to put fate in their own hands and have the legendary run??
The Jack Gohlke, Doug Edert, or Ali Farokhmanesh type run who may not start or average double digit PPG or have been highly recruited but just has a streak where they are unconscious and nothing can stop them??
A run where Strength of Schedule, NET, WAB, or even Wins Over Top 25 CANNOT stop a kids sheer WILL to be LEGENDARY for a finite period of time
Simulations or metrics can’t put their finger on the simple factor of VARIANCE
That’s what makes this tournament so beautiful!
Nebraska likely mops up the floor with Troy 99 times out of 100 but what if Thursday morning, The unknown by many red haired Campbell Brothers who each shoot around 40% from 3 decide to just go postal Thursday morning and ruin a B10 behemoths potential run!?!?
Will it happen?? Maybe not. Hell probably not.
But. It could.
That’s the beauty part of The Dance.
One and Done.
If you’re in The Dance you got a chance!
Even the kids out of Troy, Alabama, Hofstra out of Hempstead, NY or Cal Baptist out of Riverside, CA
A lot of people may not have heard of you before this week…..but now you will be given the opportunity to make them NEVER FORGET YOU!
Who will decide to step up and change their life and their teams lives forever this tournament??
Il tell ya one thing:
Can’t wait to find out!
Get ready to yell, cheer, rip up brackets and MOST OF ALL:
Enjoy The Madness🍻
