It's the most wonderful time of the year (NCAA tourney, baby!)

I can watch a post-season college basketball game and get drawn into it. What I don't understand is why early round post-season games were on the radio preempting critical sports talk. Who would listen to a game where you have no idea who any of the players are?

Also, NCAA basketball has taken a giant step down in relevance to me as 1) more and more of the best players went pro earlier and earlier or skipped "college" entirely and 2) talented foreign players infiltrated the pros.
