The NCAA Basketball Tournament is Finally Upon Us!

           

               That time of year that all sports fans have been waiting for is finally here! March Madness is upon us! Starting tomorrow teams will kick it off in the first rounds of battle. There has been much hype on filling out your brackets. It's one of the top gambling events in the country!
               Who's going to win? Will it be the Florida Gators? Maybe Kansas? Michigan State? Or could it be the undefeated Wichita State? Many people are filling out their brackets. Even president Obama has filled out his bracket and shared his picks with the country. He's going with Michigan State to win it all. After much research, I've noticed most experts have Florida, Arizona, Michigan State, and Wichita State.
               What has been the biggest news about this years March Madness is a statement made by billionaire Warren Buffet. He stated that if anyone picks a perfect bracket, he will give them one billion dollars! This may seem like a great challenge, but good luck. The odds of picking a perfect bracket are 1 in 9 quintillion. I've never even heard of that number. Your odds of hitting the PowerBall are 20 times greater than picking a perfect bracket.
                Many ESPN sports casters advise you to stay away from filling out a bracket. They say that it ruins the tournament for you because you get so frustrated and can't enjoy the games. This only applies to die hard basketball fans. If you're not a huge basketball fan, go ahead and fill out a bracket. Following the games will definitely educate you. Make sure you compare yours to President Barack Obama's! Fill out your bracket HERE!
