March Madness
Wall-to-wall basketball for weeks on end? “Madness” somehow fails to capture it. There’s something telling about this year’s final playoff destination: New Orleans, where the party never ends. Kentucky’s Anthony Davis is making the team a strong favorite this year for his shot-blocking abilities, but commentators also are keeping their radars tuned to the Baylor Bears and Perry Jones III. But as we know, anything goes.
