March Madness TermsBasketball terminology is just as misleading as that of any other sport. If you don't know your terms, two minutes of play-by-play will have you thinking the power forward just got in his car and is driving downtown, where he intends to paint something, which is evidently very exciting. This is assuming you can even understand the words being spoken, and that the announcer you're listening to is not Dick Vitale.

Cinderella Team: In the story, Prince Charming rejects all the women he sees until he meets Cinderella, with whom he falls in love and eventually marries. In basketball, everyone ignores the Cinderella team until it starts winning; the team advances through the tournament thanks to magic and fairies and wonderment, whereupon its carriage suddenly turns into a pumpkin (it loses to Kansas).


"Throw up a brick:" The unfortunate and embarrassing result when a player has eaten too many bricks before the game.Kidding. It means taking a bad shot. With the basketball
