College basketball is incredible. Say what you want about the NFL or the MLB, but in my mind, there isn’t a sport that is as parity-driven as college hoops.
Fifteenth-seeded Middle Tennessee State upset #2 Michigan State (the title favorite) in the round of 64 in March’s NCAA Tournament. Just let that settle for a moment. Magic Johnson’s alma mater - led by Denzel Valentine and Tom Izzo - were fairly easily defeated by an undersized squad featuring Giddy Potts (real name) from Murfreesbro, Tennessee.
If there’s one thing I know about college basketball is that when it comes down to it, none of us really know anything about college basketball.
