Steinmetz: An NBA guy’s take on Kansas-Memphis
- I don’t watch a lot of college basketball. Hardly any, to be honest. I’m too busy watching the NBA. It is true, I’d rather watch the Indiana Pacers play the Memphis Grizzlies than the Indiana Hoosiers play the Memphis Tigers. Any day of the week.But on Monday night, there was only one game on and it happened to be the Memphis Tigers and the Kansas Jayhawks in the NCAA title game. So I watched. Very good game, too.

Maybe there is a method to all this NCAA madness after all
- Let the madness really begin. When Xavier and Georgia take the Verizon Center court in Washington, D.C., this afternoon at 12:20, it will mark the first of 63 games to determine which college basketball team reigns supreme. But no portion of the tournament is a hectic — and exhilarating — than the first round, when 32 games are played in two days, meaning, it’s all basketball all the time. Unless you plan on living at a sports bar or have four televisions side-by-side, you can’t see all the games, so here’s a guide at what you should look for during today’s games.
