All About March Madness
The phrase “March Madness” was coined by Henry V. Porter in 1939…to describe an Illinois high school basketball tourney. Brent Musburger first used it during NCAA coverage in 1982 causing a legal battle almost as insane as the playoffs. But everyone finally worked things out and the madness was official. There isn't a good record of who first called the playoffs The Big Dance, but it does describe the action. The 5 schools who have the winningest history in NCAA Division I Men's basketball are: * UCLA with 11 championships; * Kentucky who won the March Madness games 7 times; * Indiana with 5 Big Dance victories; * North Carolina outlasted all the other teams 4 times, including their championship win in 2005, and * Duke with 3 titles. * There are 8 teams that won twice and others who are trying to reach that goal this year... 2006 NBA Final Recap Last year's final saw the hungry Gator's finally devouring the Bruins in 73 - 57 climax. Will the action this year be as suspenseful ...or will it be even better? Last year's 2006 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship was a tourney to talk about. Clean play, great players, team efforts, action until the last second and sometimes into overtime. Basketball the way it was meant to be played! Will the mayhem at the 2007 big dance live up to the past? This Year I will once again being Wagering and Playing Last edited by bedir than average; 03-10-2007 at 04:32 PM. Reason: spam deleted |
