College Basketball: The Final Four

Students try out in college basketball recruiting for a spot in college basketball teams. Due to the immense popularity of basketball in the United States, college basketball has a considerable following among college and high school students alike.

The season-ending college basketball tournaments are known collectively and popularly as March Madness, as they are played in March.  The most popular championships are those of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), as well as various state high school associations.  The term Final Four refers to the last four teams remaining in the playoff tournament of the NCAA Men’s Division Basketball Championship. These are the champions of the tournament’s four regional brackets, and the only teams remaining on the tournament’s final weekend. (The term has been applied retroactively to include the last four teams in tournaments from earlier years, when only two brackets existed.)

There are some claim that the phrase “Final Four” was first used to describe the final games of Indiana’s annual high school basketball tournament. But the NCAA, which has a trademark on the term, says Final Four was originated by a Cleveland Plain Dealer sportswriter, Ed Chay, in an article that appeared in 1975 in the Official Collegiate Basketball Guide. The article stated that Marquette University “was one of the final four” in the 1974 tournament. The NCAA capitalized on the term in 1978, and turned it into a trademark several years later.

It is important for students to know more than the basics in order to succeed in college basketball and to play in college basketball teams.
