Closing Thoughts

The best part about March is that anything can happen. The madness can strike at anytime against anyone, anywhere, for any reason.

That in mind, nobody is really safe. Once the ball is tossed at mid court both teams are starting from zero until triple zeroes on the clock.

All sixteen remaining teams want to put it on the line for their right to win a national title. The teams remaining are all worthy of being here, but that doesn’t mean the favorite will always win, even now.
