It’s here at last!  The (Men’s) Final Four, at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.  Featuring just a single 1-seed in Virginia, and two first-time participants in Auburn and Texas Tech.  Oh, and also featuring a coach with a long record of winning who I also find repulsive from a college I think should be decertified.  I don’t know who I am rooting for, but I am definitely rooting against Michigan State.

Elsewhere…

• The Islanders are in the playoffs! Who expected that when Tavares left?
• The Lakers are not, and LeBron has ended his season even earlier to let his groin heal.  It’s going to be weird for him not to be around in June.
• Baseball season starts, and Christian Yelich is on fire!
• The Canadian Women’s Hockey League announces its sudden demise, leaving the sport in turmoil.
• The AAF might also close, but I don’t think anyone cares.

As ever, all sports chat is welcome.
