Hoop hype: March Madness brackets get America talking again

NCAA March Madness / Twitter

(AP) - Wagering on all those parlays and long shots on the betting app is fun.

Filling out a bracket and waiting for the upsets to begin — that’s why they call this March Madness.

There’s nothing quite like the magic of picking winners of all 60-something games, figuring out the Final Four and national champions, then watching every agonizing game unfold.

All have the potential to make a casual fan feel like an armchair genius — while any single misstep can wreck the whole thing for even the most seasoned of hoops junkies.
