Sure, you could watch the NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments from the comfort of your own sofa, but what’s the fun in screaming your fool head off in a quiet house? Go find your tribe – or at least some good pub fare – as you cheer on (or against) teams in the best college sporting event around. The men go from March 14-April 3. The women, with last year’s Final Four Washington Huskies stars Kelsey Plum and Chantel Osahor expected to again go deep – or maybe win it all? – play March 24-April 2.
