First,a royal blue Final Four, the most glamorous Final Four ever. Among these semi-finalists are 17 national championships and 61 Final Four appearances. Two-seed Villanova and one-seed Kansas tip off this classic at (precisely) 6:09 p.m. Eastern Normal People Time. Then at 8:49 the most intense rivalry in the college game is renewed on its biggest state. Eight-seed North Carolina and two Duke.
Men's college basketball is unlike any other team sports competition where there is one winner and every one else a loser. In the college game even the most ambitious schools at the start of the season set their goal for the Final Four. It's neat, and unique.
Then the pros. Actually, I don’t know what the fuck this scheduling is about, maybe to avoid conflict with the F.F., but a rare early matinee with phour-seed phading Philly hosting nine Chazz at 12:30, which is a Premier League start time. Speaking of, and this just en passant, second-place Liverpool, only one little peepy point out of first, have already won their game, beating 'Arry the Elk 'Ornet 2-0 at Fenway. Leaders Manchester City have the same advantage at Burnley before the break.
At 7:30 bells eight-seed Rust travels to no.10 HotAtl. Both teams have identical 40-37 season marks. And at 8 East leaders Miami play in Wind agin the 5th-place Male Cows.
