27 Mar March Madness!

Underdogs reign in the Final Four Of March Madness!

None of the teams seeded Nos. 1 or 2 or 3 will be there, the first time since seeding was introduced 44 years ago. UConn is the ranking member of the foursome at No. 4 seed. Miami and San Diego State are No. 5, Florida Atlantic No. 9, and let the record show no fifth or ninth seed has ever won the national championship. Ever. For that matter, only one No. 4 has done it, and that was Arizona 26 years ago.

None of the top 18 in the preseason Associated Press rankings will be there.

Nobody who has ever been to a Final Four will be there, except for Connecticut. It has been 53 years since the Final Four had three first-timers.

No one who has been in the past eight Final Fours will be there.

The Big Ten won’t be there, nor the Big 12, nor the SEC or Pac-12.

Hard work and perseverance brought these teams to Houston and the final four.  Business can learn a lot from these amazing athletes.
