Good morning! You’re in my bracket.
Let this newsletter serve as a sort of smelling salt. College basketball is ready to (temporarily) blot out any other sport for the next few weeks. It is a glorious stretch:
Most major conference tournaments begin this week, and a plethora of mid-major brackets are already halfway through, if not further. No. 10 Gonzaga and No. 17 St. Mary’s play in opposite WCC semifinal games tonight. Bracket season is fully here.
Five teams are already in: Drake, Fairleigh Dickinson, Kennesaw.
