It’s that time of the year. It’s March Madness time, time to fill in your brackets. For those of you not familiar, March Madness is the annual NCAA Men’s College Basketball Tourney, where 64 teams compete in a win and advance tourney. Winners advance, and excitement builds (next stage is 32 teams; then Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight, Final Four and the Championship on April 6th).
Since the ICC Cricket World Cup Fantasy league has been so successful (and an angst of most of us participating in it); why not start our own March Madness pool — aptly named Kutchvalley. And even if you don’t follow Men’s basketball, chances are if your school is represented, you will root for them.
Top Five Reasons why you should play:
5. MS Dhoni is not playing (sorry Beelena).
4. Once you’ve made your picks, the bracket is locked — no substitutions to make everyday.
3. Games are only 2.5 hours long — don’t have to stay up till 3 AM to find out.
2. No streaming links. Games are on network TV.
1. DRAMA — Lot of upsets, lots of close games, and we could truly have University of Kentucky go undefeated. First team to do so since the 1976 Indiana Hoosiers.
