The Great Lake State and March Madness: A Numerical Mystery (For 2023, That Is)
Ah, March Madness. The time of year when brackets are busted faster than a piñata at a toddler's birthday party, and upsets are more common than free refills at a sketchy diner. But this year, some eagle-eyed Wolverines fans (and maybe a confused Spartan or two) might be scratching their heads, wondering: Just how many Michigan teams were in March Madness 2023?
Spoiler Alert (for the forgetful, not the faint of heart): It wasn't a crowd scene.
There was, however, a lone wolf (or rather, a lone Wolverine) representing the mitten-shaped state. That team, folks, would be the University of Michigan Wolverines on the women's side! They brought their "A" game (and maybe some delicious pasties for good luck) but ultimately fell short of championship glory.
But wait a minute, you shout (virtually, of course), what about Michigan State? Don't they practically live in March Madness?
You'd be right, under normal circumstances. The Spartans have a legendary March Madness presence, having qualified for the tournament a whopping 25 years in a row leading up to 2023. But hey, even the best streaks have to end sometime, right?
So why the Michigan State no-show in 2023? Well, that's a whole other story for another day (and another internet post).
The Takeaway: A Toast to Michigan's March Madness Spirit (Even When the Teams Are MIA)
Here's to Michigan, a state that knows how to bring the March Madness spirit, even when the teams themselves aren't always there. Here's to hoping for a double dose of maize and blue (and green) come March Madness 2024!
