Riassunto

Covered by four networks, allowing every game to be televised, "March Madness" has become an American phenomenon as anticipated as the Super Bowl. This is the story of the tournament, from its beginnings seventy-three years ago as an eight-team "bracket" to today's sixty-eight-team format. From "Cinderella" teams like Butler and Gonzaga, to perennial powerhouses such as UCLA and Kentucky, to buzzer-beaters, upsets, and dynasties, the story of one of the most-followed sporting events is told here.
