Basketball

The Harlem Globetrotters are arguably the most entertaining basketball team in the world to watch. They are the basketball team that does tricks, and boy oh boy are they gr888. They’ve got incredible ball skills, with dribbling, dunking, and trick shot play. The Harlem Globetrotters are internationally celebrated among fans and they’ve got a huge following in New York and across the nation. This team features prominently in the media and in sports events, and it routinely showcases the crème de a crème of NBA stars in exhibition matches and tournaments.

There is one basketball tournament that captivates America's attention like none other – NCAA March Madness. According to the official data from NCAA Division 1 Men's Basketball, between 1970 and 2018, the attendance figures have steadily crept up over the years at many schools, but this pattern has not been consistent throughout. Given the large sample of data available to us, I have limited my date range to more recent years between 2010 and 2018, to include the Top 5 teams every year in that date range.

The top-ranked colleges in the US also feature some of the most valuable CBB teams – but not always! Think Cornell, Harvard, Yale, Columbia – they’re Ivy League but their CBB teams are hardly that valuable in terms of their ability to win their division, let alone the NCAA Championships.

March Madness truly brings out the basketball beast in every one of us! It’s my favorite time of year for CBB action, and the fierce competition in this knockout-style tournament is testament to that. According to the NCAA, the state with the greatest number of men’s basketball victories for NCAA Division 1 is none other than New York state.  

The NCAA March Madness tournament brings out the wildcat in all of us. When Selection Sunday commences, it's off to the First Four in Dayton, Ohio for the 2020 NCAA premier Men's Division 1 Basketball Tournament. March Madness is probably one of my favorite sporting events of the early part of the year. It is adrenaline-fueled entertainment from inception to the crowning of the NCAA Champions.

The San Diego State Aztecs are currently dominating in the Mountain West. They lead the pack with an impressive string of wins this season. Their division is populated with world-class teams like UNLV, Nevada, Utah State, Boise State, CO State, New Mexico, Fresno State, Air Force, San Jose State, and Wyoming. The top teams in the Mountain West for 2019/2020 include the following ranking teams:

March Madness has arrived with a bang! We are on the cusp of a fantastic month of NCAA basketball. This rollicking tournament has everybody chomping at the bit, raring to go. As the premier basketball event of the year, March Madness – the NCAA Division 1 men’s basketball tournament – is an adrenaline-loaded extravaganza of unbelievable plays and gravity-defying dunks. This single-elimination basketball tournament features 68 teams going head-to-head over 7 rounds of grueling competition. If that sounds tough to you, it is!

The college basketball arena is peppered with superstars. There is no shortage of highly-talented athletes competing in the CBB in the 2019/2020 season. In response to requests from college basketball fans, in anticipation of March Madness, I wanted to take a look at the Top 10 CBB players right now.
