It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Weekend: Your College Basketball Open Thread
I had this whole great thing written breaking down each game with the most mind-blowing analysis the world had ever seen, but internet connectivity issues ruined it all.

Is There Anyone Who's NOT Suing Christian Laettner And Brian Davis?
Christian Laettner and Brian Davis were excellent college basketball players. But they appear to be terrible businessmen.
