It’s that time of year—March Madness, the pinnacle of college basketball. With the 2013 March Madness underway, the tournament has been full of shockers and upsets that leave many wondering who will take home the title of NCAA champions.

Every year, college basketball has its own playoff tournament, known as March Madness, that begins with 68 teams . The tournament runs in a single elimination style that means once a team loses, they are eliminated from the tournament. The tournament is divided into 4 regions: Midwest, North, South, and East. Each region has 16 teams, and the teams are ranked from 1 to 16.

In the past, certain schools have been favored to win the tournament, but this year, there have not been many clear cut favorites, which has made the tournament that much more unpredictable. So far, it has been a tournament of underdogs and upsets in which an unheard of 15-seed, Florida Gulf Coast, defeated a 2-seed, Georgetown. Other shocking moments included Harvard getting its first-ever tournament win, and the Wichita State Shockers shocking the college basketball world by making the Final Four.

The common favorite for many “bracketologists” and college basketball fans to win it all this year is the Louisville University Cardinals. After winning the Big East Conference tournament and entering the NCAA tournament as a 1-seed, the Cardinals looked strong enough to win.

I agree, and also see the Cardinals going all the way. With strong guard play by Peyton Siva and Russ Smith, the Cardinals manage to space the floor better than any other team in the country. They also possess the ability to dominate the paint, or the area right under the basket, with big men like Gorgui Dieng and Chane Behanan. What makes them even more certain of a pick is that the team is riding an emotional high after having one of its key players, sophomore Kevin Ware, suffered a gruesome leg injury in the Elite Eight game against the 2-seed Duke Blue Devils.

The two Final Four games, Louisville vs. Wichita State and Michigan vs. Syracuse, are scheduled to be played on April 6. The National Championship will be played on April 8.

Whether you are a basketball fan or not, I suggest you tune in as there is only one word to describe this year’s tournament: Madness.
