Conference tournaments take center stage this week as eight leagues will hand out AQs and a trip to May Madness. The NCAA Tournament will also welcome eight at-large selections. The ACC will grab five of the eight at-large bids. That leaves three open spots for teams that fail to capture their league crown. It’s as easy as 8-8-5-3. Runners-up with resumes from the Patriot, Big East and Big Ten are likely to receive those three last bids.
All the intrigue makes this week the most intense of the season, the moment of truth. Win and advance, lose and go home.

[ Editor’s Note: We have been here before, with the cranking up of a foreign bogeyman that will impoverish us all unless we give out massive subsidies to American business to save us. We have been stupid enough to buy this over and over in the past, but what now?
This is a double con actually, with the Chinese battery bogeyman ‘controlling’ the market, and the mirage of high paying US jobs from a dreamed up story of a new high wage jobs to make a non-competitivw product for the world market, and yet will be ‘good for America.

Solar and storage provider Sunworks has acquired installer Solcius in a deal worth US$51.8 million.
The acquisition will offer Sunworks, which itself was acquired by Peck Company Holdings, now known as iSun, through a share exchange last summer, the potential to establish a “national leader” in residential solar with access to 12 US states, the company said in a statement.
Solcius earned US$93.4 million in revenue in the year to December 2020, and reported an operating income of US$2.8 million. A statement from Sunworks said the two businesses combined generated net revenues of US$131.5 million in the same fiscal year.
