It’s the most fascinating manner in which to watch the NCAA Tournament, existing among hundreds of fans cheering scores more than teams. March Madness had returned to Las Vegas.

Free agency officially commenced Wednesday, where the Raiders added needed help on the defensive line.
How things might play out for a very different March Madness in Indiana will be drama worth watching.
T.J. Otzelberger’s reported move would have more to do with his two stints as an assistant coach in Ames and those relationships than anything that has transpired at UNLV.
The NCAA Tournament — all 67 games — will be contested in Indiana, with most matchups spread out across the state’s capital city of Indianapolis.
Things aren’t stable for Utah State, Colorado State and Boise State, who are not assured inclusion when the 68-team NCAA Tournament field is announced.
Turnover is coming for the UNLV basketball program, and it might not end with the players.
UNLV, which struggled to defend the 3-point line most of the season, held Air Force to 0 of 9 in the first half and 2 of 18 overall on 3s in Wednesday’s blowout.

Before reviewing the most foolish of sponsorship deals, nothing hints at a return to normalcy like fans in T-Mobile Arena.
Greatness is created from a competitive spirit, which might help explain why, at age 36, Golden Knights goalie Marc-Andre Fleury is playing at an elite level.
Clear skies can mean slushy ice, a hand dealt to the NHL when its outdoors game between the Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche was suspended after the first period. It resumed eight hours later.
