Pretty cool tourney fact

[Enfuego]

Kentucky is the first team to win 4 straight games by 5 points or fewer in a single NCAA Tournament.

My opinion....

The best team doesn't always win the National Championship in single elimination.

The tourney is great fun but not sure why so many think it's so much better than the NBA playoffs in which a series of games tells the true tale...

Because in the NBA, we're pretty certain one of 3-4 teams is going to win the title. In CBB, I could've named 20 teams going into the tourney that had a legit shot.

You're right, the best team doesn't always win but maybe the best team should win the games they're supposed to win or maybe they aren't the best team?

The only american sport where the truly best team wins it all almost every time is the NBA.

In every other sport winning a championship and being the best is not always the same thing.

lol well that's the whole question... Are they the best team or not?

Sometimes they aren't and it's all about who's hot at the time.

As for the NBA, even those 3-4 best teams lose a game here in there in the series, so losing 1 game, especially in basketball...

Well, and that's the point. So if a team doesn't win when they're supposed to, are they truly the best team?

And once the favored team loses a game or two, the officials make sure they dont go down any further so the TV ratings are saved. The NBA is such an awful product, it should be compared to WWE
