Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 479: March Madness

After the competitions of the ncaa leagues are over, the ncaa selection committee is activated. This selection committee consists of 10 members, each of which is the athletic director of the ncaa first-level league school or the chairman of the league.

In addition to being divided into major leagues, ncaa is also divided into four major regions, namely the East, Midwest, South, and West. Syracuse University belongs to the Midwest Division.

In principle, each district has at least two committee members, and the last ten committees each nominate some teams as the selection team.

The ncaa tournament is also called "March Crazy". Throughout March, the championship teams from various leagues and invited teams occupied fierce competitions. It was a single-elimination tournament system. One game was determined to live and die until the final decision. ncaa championship.

The role of the selection committee is to vote for another 37 teams after the 31 league championship teams that automatically qualify for the tournament are born, and they will be eligible for invitation (ncaa has a total of 32 leagues, as mentioned earlier, But GreatWestConference, that is, the "Great Western Conference", this is an exception, it is not the league champion automatically advances to the tournament).

Ten committee members each nominated 37 teams, and finally passed cross-comparison, and then voted. Finally, 37 teams were selected, including 31 league championship teams, and a total of 68 teams entered the championship.

However, after this, they will also rank the 68 teams, with the East, Central and West, South, and West as the unit, each of which has 17 teams, that is, the 1st to 17th seeds.

But not all teams participated in the first round of the tournament, but the 16th seed vs. the 17th seed in each division. The winning team was reclassified as the 16th seed and entered the next round.

In other words, this round will eliminate four teams, leaving 64 teams in the end (this is the origin of the top 64 mentioned above, the birth of the top 64, the championship is just the start).

After the end of the first round, "March Crazy" officially kicked off. The divisions, such as the Central and Western District where Syracuse University is located, adopt a cross-elimination system, with the No. 1 seed vs. the No. 16 seed, and the No. 2 seed vs. the No. 15 seed. No. 3 seed vs. No. 14 seed, and so on...

After this round, half of the teams will be eliminated, which is very cruel, leaving 32 teams in the end.

These 32 teams also adopted a cross-elimination system to continue the next round of competition. In the end, there were only 4 teams left in each division, and a total of 16 teams were retained.

Those who can enter the top 16 can be said to be strong teams, and there is another name for them, called "sweet top 16".

Then came the 16-to-8 game, which will become more cruel. The teams that hit this time are all strong teams, and the games are exceptionally fierce and exciting. Every game is full of people.

In the end, the quarterfinals were born, also known as the "elite quarterfinals."

The next is the 8 to 4 game, and finally each division decides a championship team. They are called the "Final Four" and will enter the ncaa semi-finals.

After the ncaa championship entered the semi-finals, it was another climax. The brand value of the ncaa semi-finals exceeded 100 million US dollars. It was selected by Forbes magazine as one of the top ten most valuable sports brands in the world, and the nba finals None of them can make it into the top ten, which shows how "crazy" the ncaa semi-finals are.

Of course, there is no doubt that it is very difficult to enter the semi-finals, and after entering the semi-finals, you will fight against each other, and finally decide the ncaa champion!

After the 68 teams were selected, the seed rankings of each district were quickly released, and Syracuse University was named the No. 5 seed in the Central and Western District.

Because of the large number of teams and the strong strength of the Big East, in addition to Syracuse University’s promotion to the championship as a champion, the University of Connecticut, Marquette University, and Villanova University have also been invited, but they and Syracuse University Although they belong to the Big East League, they are divided into different districts after entering the championship. Marquette University and Connecticut are in the west, and Villanova University is in the east. Unless they win the championship in the scoring area, they will not compete with Syracuse. University fights.

The first round of the game was the 16th seed vs the 17th seed, which has nothing to do with Syracuse University.

After this round of competition, the final 16 teams in the Central and Western District were officially released. From the No. 1 seed to the No. 16 seed, they were Michigan State University, Kansas University, Wake Forest University, Southern California State University, Syracuse University, University of Siena, University of Utah, West Virginia University, Boston College, Ohio State University, University of Dayton, University of Arizona, Cleveland State University, North Dakota State University, Robert Morris University, Mohed 2 State University.

In accordance with the cross-elimination rules, Syracuse University will face the 12th seed University of Arizona in a 16-to-8 game.

On this day, the Syracuse University Oranges came to the arena of one of the universities in Dallas to usher in a game with the University of Arizona.

According to the rules of the ncaa tournament, the tournament will be held in a "neutral city", which means that it cannot be held in the city where both teams are located to show fairness.

So I chose Dallas in the end.

"There are so many people."

"Nonsense, this is the ncaa tournament, "March Crazy" do you think it was a joke?"

Some fans entered the arena early, but even if they were half an hour ahead of schedule, the arena was already crowded with people, there were thousands of people.

In the audience, there were some fans holding slogans of "Come on, Syracuse University" or "Syracuse University must win". They were obviously Syracuse University fans.

Of course there are fans from the University of Arizona.

Because in a neutral city, it is hundreds of kilometers away from the cities of both teams, but there are still many fans who drove to cheer for the teams they support.

Papani and Mike also came.

As Syracuse University won the Big East League championship and advanced to the tournament, FX Sports paid more and more attention to Syracuse University and sent Papani and Mike to follow up the report. Anyway, the championship will only last a month. The finals don't take a month, and it doesn't take much time.

It is not the first time that Papani and Mike have come to the ncaa tournament. For the lively arena, the hustle and bustle atmosphere is not surprising, just waiting quietly.

By their side, there are reporters from other media, including reporters from Arizona and local reporters in Dallas.

"coming."

I don't know who shouted, and the whole arena suddenly became more and more noisy. Papani and Mike followed the sound and saw a group of players from the Syracuse University Oranges coming together.

The fans in the auditorium suddenly became excited, cheers and boos rang out, and the noise was loud and loud, as if they were about to lift the dome of the arena.
