There's a new season added to the calendar every year . . .
it's called . . .
Our poll question of who would win the NCAA Men's basketball tournament, our results were:
1. Butler 54%
2. Kentucky 18%
3. VCU 18%
4. UCONN 9%
The "Final Four" is such a HUGE deal these days!
Many cities clamor to host it!
They even have their own logo every year!
The Final Four really started to take off when Salt Lake City was the host!
It wasn't so much the host city...as who played in the finals:
Magic Johnson of Michigan State
defeated
Larry Bird of Indiana State
These two were two of the best to ever play the game!
They dueled it out for years,
when Magic played for the LA Lakers...
...and Larry played for the Boston Celtics.
Salt Lake City has never hosted the Final Four since.
They did, however, host two "Sweet Sixteen"games and one "Elite Eight" game last year.
