As you check your bracket and ponder who the champion will be, think about H.V. Porter. Who is H.V. Porter? In 1939, Porter coined the phrase “March Madness” in an essay that he wrote about basketball, and since then the sport has never been the same. UCLA owns the record and has celebrated victory in this tournament a whopping 11 times! Kentucky is right on its tail with eight wins, Indiana and North Carolina are tied at five wins and Duke at four.
The first two rounds of the tourney are nail-biters! The wins and losses here will determine whether or not you are in a “sweet” spot for the Sweet 16 round. Then, if you can hold on and survive the Elite 8 round with most of your teams left, the Final Four round win is in your grasp. If you correctly guess both teams in the Championship round, victory is just a step away and you will be in the March Madness money!
Are you passionate for March Madness because you see your own team achieving its dreams? We provide personalized ornaments for basketball teams as well, whether for a high school basketball banquet or an end of year college celebration.
You may want to purchase ornaments for your team’s senior players so that they have a keepsake after graduation, or for your team’s freshmen so that they feel included in their first year even if they spent a lot of time on the bench. Some coaches choose to give out ornaments in place of trophies so that they can recognize players for their success without making it about winning the game.
Your odds of receiving the perfect keepsake of your favorite basketball team are significantly higher than the 9.2 quintillion to 1 odds of predicting a perfect 64 team March Madness bracket sheet! Take a look at our entire category of sports ornaments, and you won’t leave disappointed!
