Jewish Player NCAA Tourney

Right around the corner is March Madness, which is basically the best time to be a sports fan (also the best day to miss work and ditch classes). So, I have decided to try something here at TGR which could be fun. I had this concept that I would take the top 16 teams that have at least 1 Jewish player on the team. I would then pit them together in a bracket style 16 team elimination tournament. This is just for fun and to see which is the best team with a Jewish player. We will be doing some real March Madness coverage, but this is to get everyone in the mood. So, below are the top 16 teams ranked by me with help from CBSSportsline, RPI, Coaches Poll, and AP polls. The voting will take place on the side panel. Each round will last a week  and you decide the winner. The teams were ranked as of Feb 13th. but each decision can be made to include total body of work. Reminder you are VOTING FOR THE BEST TEAM not best player. We will have voting for the top player and more March Madness articles in the coming week.

Jewish "March" Madness begins now!
