College basketball is a about love and passion for the sport. Young men not playing for money, or necessarily fame, its about playing for a chance to achieve something great. Leaving it all on the court for your school and for your teammates, trying as hard as you can for a National Championship. It is about the team, and the collective effort. Watch a team like VCU play and succeed, there is something pure and beautiful about it, they aren't doing it for paycheques, they're doing it for their school and for each other.

I find it comparable to the race to the Memorial Cup, or even the WJHC... Athletes being driven by their pure love for the game.
