Who's hot? Who's trending the other direction?

Who faces adversity? How do they respond?

Players step up offensively who are not normally counted on and foul trouble deflates "the mental edge" one has and it all begins to unrwravel.

It reminds me of the importance of Shawnee's foul to success correlation and Redell's hitting threes.

This is the month I start puttering around the garden so I don't have to read about Gonzaga vs Georgetown and Duke taking on UCLA. Leave it to you basketball tournament fans.

Ditto, I'm over March Madness, they're taken a good thing, overcooked it and tried to serve it up as rare too many times. Unless I have a direct interest, I'm not watching anything live. Sportscenter at best.

It wastes a month to end up realizing once again that paid for refs, biased seeding does in fact work.

It's all about big money and TV ratings. Spare me with stories about that once in a decade advancing of a small school into the Sweet 16-those are too few too far between. The Final Four will end up being the same old Big name schools, just like always.

^ and ^^ wet blankets. LOL. Strength in numbers, I guess.

More people could see what a sham that tournament has become these last thirty years IMO.

Agreed, but I'm a fan of college basketball. Pro game, no. I think the first four days of the tourney are among the best days in sports. Of course, how they screw with the seeding to diminish the non-major powers will inevitably piss me off but I get over it and still watch.
