I used to love college basketball

I used to love college basketball. My greatest thrill as a preteen was watching my Tar Heels beat Kansas and Wilt Chamberlain on a 12-inch TV in 1957.

I followed the sport religiously for the next 40 years. I knew the starting lineups for every ACC team and could reel off the nation’s top 40 players.

Yes, I still fill out a tournament bracket, but I constantly switch channels and look for final results.

It’s not the same.
