“The opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament is better than the Final Four, it’s better than the title game; it’s the best time of all for college basketball.”
With the grandiose pageantry of the first week of the NCAA Tournament boasting 68 schools from all over the country with the same goal, Clay Travis thinks college basketball is the only sport in the world where the opening rounds of their extended tournament are actually the most entertaining.
Getting to see polar opposite schools like Oregon and Iona battle, or Seton Hall and Arkansas tussle on a neutral court with their seasons on the line is why the first and seconds rounds of March Madness makes up the most riveting theater in sports.
