Determined underdogs and heart-stopping finishes

The games (NCAA men's basketball tournament), which begin this week, create such a frenzy that the tournament is referred to as "March Madness." Since its start in 1939, March Madness has built a rich sports legacy, complete with fabled team dynasties, determined underdogs and heart-stopping finishes.


Hi,
Is it correct to interpret the bolded part in the above as "doomed losing teams and thrilling final games?" Thanks.
