The past winners of the NCAA Men’s Division One College Basketball Championship and it’s contenders have been revolving around certain power house colleges in basketball such as: Duke, Kentucky, Louisville, Connecticut, Kansas, Florida, Ohio State, Michigan State, UCLA, North Carolina, Arizona, and many more. But what is awesome about college basketball and March Madness is the fact that there is a whole season and a 68 team tournament to prove each team’s worth.
Last year Wichita State (a college with little basketball recognition) was a number one seed in the Midwest region, though losing to Kentucky second around (eventual runner up to the Naismith), Wichita State had a perfect record of 34 and 0 before losing to Kentucky. In 2013 Florida Gulf Coast was a 15 seeded team in the South region, and went all the way to the Sweet 16. Along the way they defeated Georgetown and SDSU, on paper those games should have been predicted loses (Sporting News, NCAA 2013 Bracket). In 2010 and in 2011 Butler was runner up to the Naismith both years. In 2010 Butler came so close to victory in which Butler’s Gordon Hayward missed a half-court shot to almost seal the deal against Duke (ESPN, NCAA Tournament Bracket).
