March Madness is a popular colloquial term for the process of deciding the annual champion of NCAA collegiate basketball in the United States. \nThe NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship is held each spring featuring 65 of the top college basketball teams in the United States.

If you don't go by each individual's teams odds. It would be 1 in 64, then 1 in 32, 1 in 16, 1 in 8, 1 in 4, finally 1 in 1. I don't like to go by the Vegas odds. Its March Madness ANYTHING can happen. GO UNC!

I AM ASSUMING YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE NCAA TOURNY...\n\nTHE SEEDINGS ARE THE RANKINGS, BY CONFERENCE, GIVEN TO EACH TEAM IN IT.\n\nTHERE ARE 16 SEED IN EACH OF 4 BRACKETS OF CONFERENCES. THEY REPRESENT THE SUPPOSED ORDER OF STRENGTH OF EACH TEAM.\n\nTHE 1 SEED PLAYS AGAINST THE 16 SEED, THE 2 AGAINST THE 15 AND SO ON.\n\nIT MAKES IT THEORETICALLY EASIEST FOR THE BEST TEAM TO GET TO THE FINAL, WHERE AS THE "WORST" TEAM WOULD HAVE A MORE DIFFICULT SCHEDULE.\n\nOF COURSE, IN THE HISTORY OF THE NCAA TOURNY, THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A YEAR IN WHICH THE FINAL 4 TEAMS WERE ALL PICKED AS THE 1 SEEDS IN THEIR BRACKETS...

NBA are more exciting games because it is played at a higher level with greater athletes. \n\n     But March Madness is more exciting than the NBA Playoffs. In NBA its best of 7. \n\n     But in March Madness every game counts. You have one shot. You cant fall and get back up and make up for it. There is more upsets. Its all how you try in that one game. \n\n      In NBA PLayoffs if the Knicks beat the Pistons the Pistons would blow them out the next 4 games. \n  \n       It would be so cool if it was single elimination in the NBA.

Selection sunday is the 12th of March. The play in game is March 14th, the first round games will be played March 16th and 17th. These dates are for the NCAA Div I basketball championship. IF you are talking about your state's high school "March Madness" - I don't know. Also, the term is commonly applied to any post season hoops tourney.

Well i agree with some of the people here. UConn is a power house team but they do have some hard games ahead of them but i think if they get past the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 then they'll be in the Championship with the winner of Duke/Texas (two very good teams). I think this whole tournament is up for grabs and fun to watch....thats y its called MARCH MADNESS!!!!

In my opinion, college basketball is a far more exiting experience than pro basketball, because the kids have much more to lose than pro players do.  Efforts to win for the sake of winning and for the sake of pride are far more exciting to watch than efforts made by players who are being paid millions of dollars whether they win or lose.  March Madness vs. the NBA Playoffs - no comparison in my book.

They bring fans together, are a form of entertainment, much like a TV show or shopping, and are so organized (standings, statistics, final scores) - people subconsciously seek this organization within their hectic lives. It sounds cheesy but its true. I HIGHLY recommend the book "The Meaning of Sports" by Michael Mandelbaum. Sports are a form of diversion from the burdens of daily life. It is like an unscripted drama - the outcome of each game and each season is unknown by all. Some say "it's only a game", but is the Grand Canyon "only a hole?" Absolutely not

College basketball is a huge collection of overhyped players in a one and done tournament that in now way tells who the best team in the country is.  It can be very exciting but anybody that truly likes the sport of basketball has to see that watching error prone college kids can really "grind your gears".

I'm not sure, but I think ESPN might have that. I remember that as soon as that game was over, they called it an "instant classic" and re-played it on espnclassic.
