There is something magical about the 64-team bracket when it comes to NCAA championships.

While the 2015 NCAA tennis tournament won’t induce the bracket-mania among fans that its basketball counterpart does every March, it replicates the same pressure and win-or-go-home environment that steels eventual champions.
