The NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship is a single elimination tournament held each spring featuring the best 65 college basketball teams in the United States. This tournament, organized by the NCAA, was first developed in 1939 and won by the University of Oregon (then know as the Tall Firs) . Colloquially known as March Madness (as the tournament takes place mainly during the month of March) or the Big Dance (as opposed to the now smaller and less prestigious National Invitational Tournament), March Madness takes place over three weeks at sites across the United States, and the national semifinals (the Final Four) have become one of the nation's most prominent sporting events.
The first weekend of March Madness took place last week and over the weekend. We always have quite the party at Rebecca Lane. Brian was able to spend part of the weekend with us and as always, my Pop came up from Springfield for the first 4 days of the tournament.
It's non-stop basketball for 12 hours those first 2 days and about 10 hours on Saturday and Sunday.I wouldn't miss it for the world!
Enjoy!
