“BALLIN LIKE MAAARCH MADNESS!” James Harden shows extreme excitement for March Madness » FirstSportz

The term madness perfectly describes the hype surrounding the tournament at the beginning. With multiple teams across the US competing for a spot in the tournament, the Big Dance is a massive event that generates great excitement from everyone.

To give you a brief explanation of the tournament format, the NCAA College Basketball Tournament is a single-elimination tournament where 68 teams compete to survive three game weekends to be crowned national champions. The field used to consist of 64 teams, but the NCAA recently added four more teams playing in games to earn a place in the last field of 64.

With a fixed span of three weeks, only 16 teams (the “Sweet Sixteen”) make it through the first weekend. The second weekend narrows the field down to the “Elite Eight” and then to the “Final Four”. The final weekend focuses on the four semi-finalists. The two semi-final winners advance to the national championship game.

Now that we’re clear on what the March craze is, let’s take a closer look at James Harden’s tweet highlighting his enthusiasm for the March craze.

James Harden himself has had an exciting career during college basketball, making a name for himself since his college days were as legendary as the song. Harden was an elite player in college who was on a team that wasn’t of the same caliber as the player. Harden played for Arizona State, which appeared in the National Invitation Tournament and the NCAA Tournament during his college years. But his team, the Sun Devils, failed to make it past the third round of either tournament.

Harden was such a star at Arizona State that the school retired his #13 jersey, despite only playing two seasons with the school. He still remains one of the greatest players in Arizona State, making him worthy of the treatment he received.
