Basketball Myth: Super Guard

After the games of the ncaa leagues are over, the ncaa selection committee is started. This selection committee consists of 10 members, each of whom 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 Eastern District, the Central and Western District, the Southern District, and the Western District. Syracuse University belongs to the Central and Western Division.

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

The ncaa championship is also known as "March Madness". During the entire March, the championship teams from various leagues and invited teams occupy fierce competitions. It is a single-elimination system. ncaa championship.

The role of the selection committee is to select 37 other teams by voting after the birth of the 31 league championship teams that automatically qualify for the tournament, and they will be eligible for invitations (there are 32 leagues in the ncaa, as mentioned earlier, But the GreatWestference, which is the "Great Western Conference", this is an exception, not the league champion automatically qualify for the tournament).

Each of the ten committee members nominated 37 teams. Finally, through cross-comparison and voting, 37 teams were finally selected. Counting 31 league championship teams, a total of 68 teams entered the championship.

However, after that, they will also sort the 68 teams in four divisions: East, Midwest, South, and West, with 17 teams in each division, or seeds 1 to 17.

But in the first round of the tournament, not all teams participated, but the No. 16 seed vs. No. 17 seed in each division. A match was decided, and the winning team was renumbered as the No. 16 seed and entered the next round.

That is to say, four teams will be eliminated in this round, leaving 64 teams in the end (this is the origin of the top 64 mentioned earlier, the birth of the top 64 is the beginning of the championship).

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

After the end of this round, half of the teams will be eliminated, which is very cruel, and there are 32 teams left in the end.

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

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".

After that, the 16-to-8 game will be more and more cruel. The teams that hit this time are all strong teams, and the game is extraordinarily intense and exciting. Every game is full of people.

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

Next is the 8-in-4 game. In the end, each division will determine a champion 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 and was selected by Forbes magazine as one of the top ten most valuable sports event brands in the world, and the nba finals Can't 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, it is necessary to fight against each other, and finally decide the ncaa champion!

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

Because of the large number of teams and strong strength in the Big East League, in addition to Syracuse University advancing to the championship as the champion, the University of Connecticut, Marquette University, and Villanova University have also been invited, but they and Syracuse University are also eligible for invitations. 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 District, and Villanova University is in the East District. Unless they win the division championship, they will no longer be with Syracuse. University fights.

The first-round matchup was the No. 16 seed vs. No. 17 seed, and it had nothing to do with Syracuse University.

After this round of competition, the final 16 teams in the Midwest Region were officially released. From the No. 1 seed to the No. 16 seed, Michigan State University, Kansas University, Wake Forest University, Southern California State University, Syracuse University, Siena University, 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, Morehead 2 State University.

According to the cross-elimination rule, Syracuse University will face the 12th seed Arizona University in a 16-for-8 game.

On this day, the Syracuse University Oranges came to the arena of one of the universities in Dallas to welcome the game against 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 the two teams are located to show fairness.

So I ended up choosing Dallas.

"There are so many people."

"Nonsense, this is the ncaa championship, 'March Madness' you think it's a joke?"

Some fans entered the arena early, but even if they were half an hour earlier, the arena was already full of people, and there were thousands of people.

In the audience, there were also some fans holding slogans that said "Come on Syracuse University" or "Syracuse University must win", apparently Syracuse University fans.

Of course there are University of Arizona fans.

Because in a neutral city, it is hundreds of kilometers away from the cities of the two teams, but there are still many fans who drive here 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 championship, FX Sports paid more and more attention to Syracuse University, and sent Papani and Mike to follow up and report. Anyway, the championship will only last for a month at most. The finals don't take a month, and it doesn't take much time.

It's not the first time for Papani and Mike to come to the ncaa championship arena. It's not surprising that the lively arena is full of hustle and bustle, just waiting quietly.

Beside them are some other media reporters, 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 Orange People coming together.

The fans in the auditorium suddenly became excited, and there were cheers and boos. It was noisy and loud, as if the arena dome was about to fly off.
