5 takeaways from the men's NCAA March Madness bracket
INDIANAPOLIS — The most unusual NCAA Tournament will tip off on Thursday.
March Madness will be contained entirely in and around Indianapolis. Players will be quarantined outside of games and practices. Fans will be here, but at 75% fewer capacity than recent years.
But after last season’s tournament was canceled, fans and players won’t mind much.
The NCAA Tournament could be a blast for reasons other than the fact that it’s simply taking place.
The No. 1 seeds — Gonzaga, Baylor, Illinois and Michigan — have few flaws. Watching tournament games in Hinkle Fieldhouse will bring a tear to basketball purists’ eyes. From Oklahoma State’s Cade Cunningham to Illinois’ Ayo Dosunmu to Gonzaga’s Jalen Suggs, the tournament is filled with entertaining athletes.
