Just to add an interesting fact, the term “March Madness” was coined by Henry V. Porter in 1939 to describe an Illinois high school basketball tourney. Brent Musburger was the one who used it first during the NCAA coverage in 1982 that caused a legal battle almost as chaotic and as insane as the playoffs.

Then again, everyone worked things out and the madness became official. The term “The Big Dance” is simply to describe the playoffs and describe its action.

The universities who are on the history’s top scorers include UCLA with 11 championships to their name while the University Kentucky came in second with winning the March Madness games 7 times. Following Kentucky would be Indiana with 5 Big Dance Victories, next is North Carolina who outlasted all the other teams 4 times, including their championship in 2005 and lastly to mention would be Duke with 4 titles to their name, the most recent in a nail biter over Butler in 2010.
