Busted Bracket? Here Are 16 Reasons To Keep Watching March Madness

Can you please rewrite the following statement? <br><br>”Despite the fact that it was pouring rain, they decided to go for a walk in the park.”

Hello, buddy. How are you doing?

Has your broken bracket turned into a tissue? Has your dislike for basketball extinguished the initial excitement that ran through your veins when March Madness started? We understand.

We are aware of the items you had planned to purchase with the winnings, along with the sense of pride that comes from flaunting a significant victory in front of colleagues and old classmates. Additionally, we wanted you to finally silence your bothersome brother-in-law, who inexplicably manages to have good fortune each year despite making random selections and lacking basic sports knowledge.

As the Sweet 16 has arrived, the journeys to New Orleans for the men and Minneapolis for the women have become much shorter.

Without any more delay, we hereby present 16 primarily serious reasons for fans to continue watching, despite their bracket being rendered useless.

There’s still plenty to see

During the Super Bowl season and March Madness, our feelings towards commercials shift from hate to love. These moments are when people invest a lot of money to entertain us and persuade us to make purchases. If you’re from Michigan, you probably know which commercial is particularly touching this basketball season, even if you don’t necessarily require the AT&T phone being advertised by a certain former Lions quarterback, who convincingly throws no-look passes.

Perhaps after the bracket gets broken, you might find joy in indulging in the excitement of NFL free agency. Why not continue to show your support for college athletes while experiencing a mix of anger and exhilaration as news gradually surfaces and older players unexpectedly retire and come out of retirement?

The elimination of brackets brings a sense of tranquility to those watching from home. With no financial stakes involved, one can now fully enjoy the games in a peaceful and serene manner.

Are you not a thrill-seeker? Is wagered-watching still your preference? Although the chances of winning a big prize may have diminished with the men’s team from Saint Peter’s or the scrappy Creighton women, online gaming apps still provide numerous responsible options for betting on one or more games! Furthermore, we are all aware that you bet on the bracket based on your emotions. It’s time to let your rationality guide you.

Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski, also known as Coach K, holds a significant presence in the basketball world. For those who are familiar with East Lansing, the mention of the name “Duke” evokes similar emotions as the Ohio State Buckeyes. The recent Round 2 men’s game between Duke and Michigan State resulted in heartbreak for many. However, it is speculated that Coach K’s retirement will be triggered by the next Duke loss or championship, marking the end of his remarkable 40-year career. Regardless of whether this future outcome brings joy or sadness, it will undoubtedly be a moment in history worth witnessing. So, why not sit back and watch as it unfolds?

What else are you going to do?

11. “Because I said so” holds great authority, even though I may not be your biological mother, I share the experience of being a mother. The power behind this phrase is undeniable. Additionally, if you could kindly send money to my Venmo account, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Even those who aren’t interested in sports are familiar with phrases like “March Madness” that indicate something exciting to watch. But what does this mean for fans who have other responsibilities? It’s a free pass to take a break from work for a whole month! Don’t worry, April will arrive soon, my friend. You can focus on fixing that cabinet door then.

Join in, as everyone is participating, including friends who choose based on the adorableness of mascots and similar factors. Ensure you don’t miss out.

What other tasks do you have on your list? Honestly. The weather remains unpredictable, particularly for us residents of Pure Michigan. Therefore, put on your swimsuit underneath your snowmobile gear, switch on both the heater and air conditioner, and start playing some games.

Seriously, these games are important

7. Brace yourselves! It’s crunch time! Are you finding March Madness to be a bit sluggish in its beginning? No worries. The Sweet 16 is just around the corner, and the pace is about to pick up significantly. Will you be able to keep up?

There have been several surprising upsets in the tournament. We mentioned the unexpected victories of the Saint Peter’s men and Creighton women earlier. Additionally, the No. 10 South Dakota women’s team has been making a strong run, along with the No. 11 Iowa State and No. 10 Miami men’s teams. It’s also worth noting that the Michigan men’s team, seeded at No. 11, is considered an underdog in their upcoming Sweet 16 matchup against No. 2 Villanova.

Additionally, to expand on reason number six, it’s important to show support for your state by watching the Michigan women and men’s teams, regardless of your allegiance. Being a grinch is never appreciated. Furthermore, you can even create a drinking game whenever a non-Juwan Howard member of the Fab Five appears during a game. Take a sip twice if they engage in heartwarming hugs.

The Michigan women’s team has achieved such remarkable feats this season that it has become challenging for writers to find adequate words to capture their ongoing success. As they enter the Sweet 16 round for only the second time in their program’s history, the Wolverines women are determined to seek retribution for their heartbreaking defeat in last year’s Sweet 16 overtime game, and potentially secure their first-ever Elite Eight appearance. Their first opponents will be the South Dakota women, who recently caused an upset by defeating Baylor with a score of 61-47. It was Baylor who eliminated the Michigan women in last season’s Sweet 16 round, forcing the game into overtime.

Let’s talk about No. 4, Naz Hillmon. No further explanation needed.

The NCAA made a significant move towards equality this year by expanding the March Madness branding to the women’s NCAA tournament. This means double the excitement of Madness, even if it leads to two shattered brackets and a disappointed basketball fan.

Don’t be fair-weather fans, Brenda and Brian Bandwagon! Keep supporting the college kids despite your poor choices, all for the love of the game.
