🏀 March Madness has arrived and hands down, it's the most wonderful time of the year! This magical tournament comes without the stress of the holidays, the presents, the exhausting in-laws, the olive jello mold you're forced to eat. The only thing you have to do is sit on your couch and watch 68 teams battle it out.
The last two play-in games are tonight, with the first two rounds running Friday through Monday. The No. 1 seeds are UConn, UCLA, Texas and South Carolina. Good luck with your picks unless you’re in my bracket challenge. All games air across ESPN's family of channels. What a gift!
🏒 The NCAA Women's Frozen Four is here and the last teams skating are Ohio State, Wisconsin, Penn State and Northeastern. The semifinals are Friday, with the national championship Sunday at 4 p.m. on ESPNU. If you watched Team USA win gold in Milan, you already know some of these players, Wisconsin's Caroline Harvey, Laila Edwards, Kirsten Simms and goaltender Ava McNaughton and Penn State's Tessa Janecke. Penn State is making their first-ever Frozen Four appearance AND hosting it. The home crowd will be on fire before the puck even drops.
🥎 Yes, the madness is on the court and the ice, but don't sleep on softball. Six weeks into the season and things are already heating up. No. 1 Tennessee heads to Gainesville for a three-game series against No. 8 Florida Friday through Sunday. It’s the first time the teams have played since the Lady Vols ended the Gators' season at last year's World Series and Florida will be looking for some payback on their home turf. Plus, Arizona and Arizona State renew their heated in-state rivalry — the Duel in the Desert — Friday through Sunday. Play ball!
