Fans feel fever of March Madness

Paul Howard wants you to know his betting tickets are for sale. The ones with Siena and Texas A&M and Virginia Commonwealth winning the NCAA Tournament.

Some intriguing themes from Hitsville NCAA

When order has been restored and all the nonmajor basketball programs are sent home from the NCAA Tournament — or, in the case of this year’s Cinderella-lacking bracket, all the below-average-to-awful Big Ten teams and Arizona — the Final Four will be staged in Detroit.

NCAA’s road of restriction gets longer

Exclusivity is an upsetting trend to everyone except perhaps Jim Nantz. It is everything college football has become and everything we once could count on the NCAA Tournament avoiding.

For Rebels, all that glitters is fool’s gold

UNLV has a men’s basketball team today preparing not for the NCAA Tournament but rather a first-round National Invitation Tournament matchup at Kentucky for one reason.

Cancer survivor has resolve of a Tiger

The chemotherapy treatments left her wanting only to sleep away the dreadful feeling of hell, but her husband and oncologist and teammates demanded she put on a baseball uniform and drive to the ballpark.

Cubs stuck with curse, Vegas with Cashman

The best thing about the Cubs-White Sox game Wednesday night was that the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association didn’t have any of its schools involved, meaning there was little chance of a forfeit or some NIAA official trying to remake the schedule in a way that would make sense only to stupid people.
