College basketball fans, like myself are still slightly puzzled about the Kansas loss to Northern Iowa last week in the NCAA tournament. But in all seriousness, this should not surprise anyone because of the sheer size of the NCAA basketball tournament. 64 teams make for nothing less than a crap shoot of a tournament where anyone can beat anyone, making it almost impossible to predict who will win or lose.
With the 64-team field, mid-major schools such as St. Mary's and Northern Iowa have the opportunity to do damage every year in the NCAA's. There are a plethora of possibilities for upsets in 16-team brackets, and it never fails that there will be at least half a dozen or more upsets every year in the tourney. In short, even though the number one overall seed went down to a team from the Missouri Valley Conference, do not be surprised because these things are impossible to predict.
Welcome to March Madness!
