It's Madness Baby!

Basketball has been a hot topic in the sports world lately. First there was the Rockets winning streak winning 22 games in a row, but it ended when they lost to the Celtics, and now yesterday was the start of college basketball's March Madness. March Madness occurrs around the same time every year, when 64 of the best colleges face off to go to the final four and then be crowned the winner. watching college basketball, especially this is so much better than the pros. The students who play in this tournament play with something that the pros forgot a long time ago, and that is heart. The teams that play in this tournement know that if you don't bring your A-game when you play then it's over, because it's a one game elimination. So the teams play like it's the last time they will ever play, because for some of the seniors that take part, it will be. This is what makes march madness so great. I use to play basketball, and now I just play for fun. I remember some of my games that ment so much to me, that I needed to win, I remember playing with passion and I remember playing that last game on a real court and going home and knowing that it was only a game and now it would be just a hobby to me. I remember feeling on the court, especially for the big games a sense that I didn't want to dissapoint people by losing, and during this tournement that is exactly what these players feel. Every year I watch this, and I see the Cinderella stories and the upsets and even the teams that are number one who actaully make it to the top, they all want the same thing, and that is to win!
