Some are calling the matchup between No. 1 Wichita State Shockers and No. 8 Kentucky Wildcats from the Midwest Region the best game of the NCAA Tournament thus far. That’s lofty praise considering the first four days of the tournament provided much excitement, including five jaw-dropping overtime games — more OT games than the entirety of the 2013 NCAA Tournament.
Every basketball fan associates the calendar change from February to March with the word “Madness”. March Madness, the namesake of the NCAA Div. I Basketball Championship, is one of the greatest sporting events every year.
I won’t argue it’s more entertaining than the Super Bowl, the World Cup or the Olympics. However, I am not shy to praise Div. I College Basketball and March Madness over the NBA and its playoffs.
The unpredictability, volatility and larger skill gap between the players makes college basketball more exciting to watch than the NBA.
