Are you ready for March Madness? Are you ready to see if the UConn Huskies men’s and women’s basketball teams can take home dual championships like they did in 2004?

Remember, if you need help making your selections for the NCAA Tournament, give Bracket Brains a look-see. And don’t forget, you can always watch the NCAA Men’s Tournament games online with CBS MMOD.

Now onto some links that I either missed this morning or have come across this afternoon.
