The college basketball season is a lot of fun to watch. The conference tournaments are even more fun to watch, but even that pales in comparison to the excitement and frenzy of March Madness. The players and coaches know that it all comes down to this, especially for those with title hopes. One loss and it’s all over. For those of you who make a bracket, and possibly put some money down on it, you could be stressing just as much as the teams actually competing on the court!
