A Fun Run

As my brother has long argued, one of – if not the best things – about your team being in the playoffs or championship game is that you are able to maintain your fan interest for as long as possible. That is, you enjoy a full (entire) sport season when your team does well. The other great thing about your team being in the playoffs/championship is that there is a ton more media coverage, and national attention, about your team. So it’s a win-win. You get to follow your team for as long as possible and the farther they go the more there is to follow (read) about them.

 

That is the great thing about Villanova making the Final Four. Though significant underdogs to North Carolina on Saturday, by virtue of making the Final Four Wildcat fans are guaranteed to remain interested in the college basketball season for all but the final two days, and even then could still be going for them too.

 

So regardless of whether they beat UNC on Saturday, it’s been a great, fun run.
