I don't care for watching Chicago Loyola (I want the gophers to get their head coach) play Oregon St or to watch Houston vs a average at best Syracuse team.
Rooting hard for Gonzaga, Kansas and Iowa tomorrow
Gotta disagree with you on this one.
March Madness remains an event for the masses... most of who don't know signature names. Because it's March Madness... they get famous IN the tournament.
A goofy looking guy like Cameron Krutwig is a great story. We hear about all the top recruits prior to college... in college... in the pros.
Yet the beauty of basketball is NOT one single player. It's a beautiful sport when teams win together. When you have different styles, different players, different storylines other than prized recruit who's simply biding time before he hits the pros.
Give me the Cameron Krutwigs and Max Abmas and Kevin Obanor every time. They don't get much time in the spotlight. So let them enjoy it when they beat the pedigree kids... because I am.
I like underdogs. I like unconventional stories.
