Well, it's that time of year again! The NCAA Basketball Tournament! Usually by this point in the year I've watched at least a game or two, and I always watch as we get into rivalry week and championship week.
Not this year. I haven't watched a single game all year. Not even part of a game. Not even a SportsCenter highlight.
Of course, I feel that makes me qualified to tell you who is going to win the tournament.
