With the 2014 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament upon us, it is time once again to go a little bracket–crazy with bracket–mania about bracketology without any bracketphobia.
Seemingly everyone – from the most die-hard basketball fan to the casual co-worker that picks the team by the cute jersey colors or mascot names – enjoys filling out a printable bracket and watching at least a few of the 63 games unfold.
Thanks to the format of the tournament, and the unpredictability of college hoops, there are always plenty of surprises along the way. So maybe a Shocker can defeat a Tarheel.
