As the tourney's four No. 1 seeds prepare for the biggest night of their lives, let us too prepare. Not only for the glory and adulation owed the victors, but also the crushing, hopes-flattening despair due the losers. Those of you with a team still in the tourney, note in the following photos of previously dashed tourney dreams the complete loss of will, spirit, and motivation to live on. The rest of you, practice pointing and laughing at the first people.
