MARCH MADNESS IS HERE! IT'S FINALLY HERE! I couldn't be more excited. I'm about to leave for Louisville and I'm looking forward to an easy drive filled with hoops on the radio, more hoops when I get into town, and the chance to enjoy a good Cincy/Purdue game followed by a blowout UK win.

Consider this your Thursday OPEN THREAD. Have fun!
