NBA Power Rankings: Bucks hold top spot, Warriors fall behind Raptors, Lakers plummet amid season marked as failure
It's March Madness time, when the basketball universe shifts its primary focus from the NBA game to the collegiate game. The NCAA Tournament is a beautiful, beautiful beast -- a five-month season where each of the 353 collegiate teams' primary objective is to either make the Field of 68 or give itself as good of a seed as possible, then three frenetic weeks to crown a national champion. The single-elimination nature of the NCAA Tournament makes it as exciting as it often is unfair. Last season, Virginia was consistently the best team in the nation for five months, but its season will always be remembered as one of the biggest failures in basketball memory because it became the first one-seed to lose to a 16-seed. In college basketball, a successful season can become an utter failure over the span of 40 minutes.
