The NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament, aka the Big Dance, aka March Madness begins today.  I would have posted about this sooner, but I'm still reeling from the fact that my beloved Gators are spending their second year in a row in the NIT.  Anyway, I was going to write about the history of the tournament, past champions, trends, etc., and as usual began my search at Wikipedia.  Much to my surprise, the page for the NCAA Basketball Tournament is incredibly robust and full of info and links about the history of the Big Dance.  There's even a section that explains where the term "March Madness" came from.  So, rather than say what's already been said, I figured I would share the link with you and let you share what you think the most interesting facts are: NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As a bonus for Florida fans, here's a highlight reel of the Gators' 2006 Championship run...just to ease the pain:
