    Gambling......absolutely no other reason.

    The games are horseshit, a game not only for young players, but also young fans.

    After one reaches 40 years of age, you realize the game is no good, and more importantly, the BIG DANCE is nothing more than THE BIG FRAUD.

    It's the best basketball anywhere. Players play defense and give maximum effort. It's the 2nd best tournament of the year after the Big East Tourney.

    After the Big East tourney?! Are you kidding me? I cannot wait until they are exposed in the NCAA tournament. My largest wager will be a prop bet... under the amount of wins for the Big East in the big dance. And as far as the importance of the Big East tournament? I dont even care about it. Marquette's first round game is the most important game of the entire tournament. It really is. No other game has NCAA tournament qualifying implications... unless Seton Hall makes a deep run, which won't happen.

    When are people going to learn this about the Big East? All you need to do is revisit the 2010 NCAA Tourney. Ohio by 14 over Georgetown. Xavier over Pitt. Butler over Syracuse. Washington over Marquette. Cal by 15 over Louisville. Old Diminion over Notre Dame. Saint Mary's over Villanova.

    With that said. Gambling can't be the only reason the NCAA tournament is so good. You could gamble on college basketball in November, there are 10 times as many games on each and every saturday during the heart of the CBB season too.. So in that case, that would be your favorite time.

    The reason is simple, because every single game, everything is on the line.

    Wow, that's the saddest thing I've ever read. To me, there's nothing better than watching the one-and-done style of the tournament, where teams are fighting for their lives. The nonstop action and watching Cinderellas unfold make it my favorite sporting event by a LARGE margin every year.

    Its also like a fresh lease on life..like spring training you feel like you are 0-0 and have a chance to have a perfect bracket and change your life forever

    Of course after day #1 many of these dreams are shattered

    you can bet on it

    Its on TV

    Never in your wasted life of posting at every sports forum out there have I disagreed with you more

    Im in my mid fortys and I love the way they fight their ass and poor their souls into each game

    and that feeling you get from being on the right side of an upset is special

    just kidding about the wasted..the hours of fun, entertainment and knowledge are irreplaceable..So is the 100,000 post you have made at the RX etc
    lol

    If you added up all your lifetime post at every forum you may be top 3 right up there with the Generals and Journeyman of this world


    Ohhhhh you got more post than Dirty,,,oohhh

    So many things, its hard to name them all.

    Its the best sporting event in the USA hands down.

    -The format (A TRUE CHAMPION)
    -The drama, late game heroics
    -The passion these players play with in this thing.
    -One and done. Every team comes into the tourney with a 0-0 record
    -Every D1 team having a chance to win it all. Win your conference tourney, and you get a chance (no matter how bad you are)
    -the small schools playing the big schools (perfect amount of small timers in it that provide great storylines)
    -Gus Johnson
    -The matchups we get. Once it gets to the sweet 16, we see some elite college basketball for 15 straight games.
    -The bracket, what adult male who has ever played sports cant appreciate a HUGE tournament
    -Filling out a bracket, and cheering for your teams.
    -GAMBLING ON EVERY GAME/PROP


    This was just off the top of my head

    whether you love it or hate it, i don't think there will be no more "I"M GREG GUMBEL IN NEW YORK" where they do wrap around coverage and cut ins and when there are 2 games going on both with 10 seconds and both games with 2 point margins. all games willl be staggered so you won't miss a fukkin thing unless a game goes to 5 OT
