Here at ImaSportsphile, there is really no event that is bigger each year to a Sportsphile than March Madness….Bracketology…we mean NOTHING BIGGER….for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament provides as good of an example of what sports….and therefore….Sportphiles are all about. Â
March Madness brings an energy to the world that only sports can bring…..an energy chocked full of hard-nosed, honest preparation and perspiration….with a layer of sacrifice and support that is mixed with a passion for competition and combat…. where the key to the energy lies in the honest belief that any team can win….so, let’s tee it up….and see who wins. Â
In this 1986 March Madness tournament….every regional final featured a #1 or #2 seed playing a team seeded #6 or lower….evidenced by this # 1 Kansas vs. # 6 NC State seen herewith. It can be argued that these upsets by the 6th to 14th seeds launched the NCAA Tournament’s reputation for having unknown teams surprise well-known basketball powers….with none more impactful than when Navy reached the Elite 8 thanks to stunning performances by David Robinson.Â
This March Madness Midwest Regional Finals features a young Danny Manning….who would lead Kansas to a National Title in his senior year….which makes this video even more worthy of watching for any basketball fan or Sportsphile.
