OPINION: Kentucky was a fun team to watch, but it wasn't ready for a 2-seed.

Peruse the 2002 NCAA Tournament bracket and you'll notice two storylines--one in particular--that hit close to home.

Concerns surrounding the coronavirus have led to an unprecedented decision by the NCAA regarding March Madness.

Coronavirus fears have prompted discussions of holding the NCAA Tournament without fans in the seats.

It’s almost time for one of the most wonderful times of the year, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. This Sunday, there will be a slight change with how the brackets/matchups will be revealed.

If you would have said at the start of the 2017 NCAA Tournament that these would be the teams we'd have in the Final Four, I'd say you're crazy. I still can't wrap my mind around this Madness!

This past Saturday afternoon, I tuned in to listen to the Conference USA title game between my WKU Lady Toppers and the Southern Mississippi Lady Eagles. The Lady Tops dominated and they earned 19th trip to the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament. And guess what? Their first round game against Ohio State is this Friday afternoon in Lexington! Wanna go?

Tonight, the NCAA will crown its 78th Men's Basketball Champion. One of those teams in this year's Final Four, Syracuse, was in the title game twenty years ago when they met the unstoppable force of Rick Pitino and the Kentucky Wildcats. Sports Illustrated has released a ranking of all 77 championship teams and the '96 team ranked the highest at number 13.

Until midway through the first half of Sunday's Louisville/Duke Elite Eight matchup, the big story of the 2013 NCAA Tournament was Florida Gulf Coast. Then Louisville guard Kevin Ware, while trying to prevent a Duke three-pointer, landed on his left leg and it broke.

March Madness is my favorite time of the year. Now, I realize that, around here, it might not mean as much when Kentucky isn't involved. But Louisville is. Indiana is. Florida Gulf Coast is.

When I was a kid, there was a show that ran seven years on NBC called Emergency! It was an action-adventure medical drama about the Los Angeles Fire Department's Station 51 and Rampart Hospital and how the staffs of each worked to rescue people and save lives.
