The top 64 names of the NCAA Tournament
March Madness is in tow and as the nation's top-64 college basketball teams battle for a trip to the historic Final Four, fans everywhere are preparing brackets and getting ready to be introduced to a number of young men they've never heard of.
Over the next few days fans will learn the names of so many players that will emerge and then disappear from our consciousness in an instant, often leaving behind nothing more than one afternoon of memories.
What's important is to cherish the moments spent with these players whether they are a towel-waving bench warmer or lottery-bound prodigy. The one thing many of them will have in common is having incredibly fun names to say out loud, yell in frustration or joy, or just try to fit into common phrases.
