March Madness
Why does March Madness refer to basketball?
March Madness has referred to basketball games since at least 1939, when the phrase appeared in an article by Henry Porter, an Illinois high school athletics administrator. Coincidentally, the first NCAA men's college basketball tournament was held in 1939, with eight teams competing, but it would be almost another 50 years before it came to be known as March Madness.
In the 1940s, March Madness was used for Illinois state basketball tournaments, before spreading elsewhere in the Midwest region.
Then in the 1980s, March Madness came to be associated with the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament. Many people credit commentator Brent Musburger who knew the term from having covered the Illinois state tournaments, with popularizing it by using it during NCAA tournament broadcasts in reference to particularly wild games.
The NCAA eventually trademarked the phrase and now uses March Madness as an official term to refer to and promote the tournament, which is known for its many, often exciting games (67 between 68 teams), including some buzzer-beating, bracket-busting upsets. While the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament is also sometimes referred to as March Madness, it's not officially marketed this way by the NCAA.
