March Madness thrives on upsets.
Buzzer-beaters, unsung heroes, the unexpected outcomes throughout NCAA tournament history are just as iconic (if not more) than the teams that go on to win the championship game.
The David vs. Goliath stories and early round unknowns always add to the fans’ overall anticipation, too. It’s what makes attending the NCAA tournament such a bucket-list item.
Of course, that thrill had been amiss for the past two years, with attendance totals heavily reduced for the March Madness mix in 2021 and no tourney in 2020.
But crowds will be back in the stands at full capacity in 2022, which has created an exhilaration for basketball fans across the country!
