  • Sophomore jinx

  • NBA to rescue Final Four?

    Don't you believe it. The league's likely new age limit will help owners' bottom lines, not college hoops.
  • Look out for No. 1

    Because if there's one near you, it's probably falling hard as the NCAA Tournament suddenly gets upset happy.
  • Basketball is hell

    War metaphors are only natural in sports, which always mimic war, and sometimes distract us from it.
  • Operation overdog

    The NCAA Tournament's first day shows that when the world's only superpower goes to war, it's not a good time to be an underdog.
  • All hype, no drama

    Thousands of empty seats tell you all you need to know about college basketball conference tournaments.
  • Senior moment

    Juan Dixon didn't dominate as expected Monday, but he's the third straight fourth-year man to carry his team to the NCAA title. Isn't that funny, in an era when the great players all leave school early?

  • 40 minutes

    When Duke meets Arizona for the NCAA title, the winner will be whoever can get closer to playing a whole game, which nobody's been doing so far.
  • March Madness: Not so mad

    All those "upsets" are exciting, but they're only "upsets" because the selection committee hasn't realized that the mid-major teams that keep their players are really good.
