The NCAA Men's Final Four

By the time you’ve reached the final four you’ve watched your bracket sheets disintegrate or come together like a swelling symphony over the course of the month of March. You’ve made peace with the 9.2 quintillion possible outcomes of the 64 team bracket, and put to rest your hopes of bragging rights at the office water cooler. Now, at long last, you are ready for the closure that only the Final Four can bring.

And here will fight the last four remaining teams in the playoff tournament.

Single elimination, no fuss, no muss. Except for the heart pounding final seconds of any close game, the never ending, moment-by-moment strategies that have both made and broken player and coach alike, the steely disposition, the ice-water in the veins of the twenty-year old players with their home towns, home courts, and schools’ reputations on the line.

This is Madness, you say?

No. This is the Final Four. And you better get ready for the action.
