Basketball is a team sport, sure, but sometimes you just want to know which team has the best player on the court. On Sunday, the N.C.A.A. announced the 68 teams that will compete in the 2019 Division I men’s basketball tournament from Tuesday through April 8.

About 47 million people — one in five American adults — are expected to bet a combined 8.5 billion dollars.







It's that time of year again, when all the chatter about teams involves phrases like: body of work; good wins; bad losses; and of course, RPIs and the dreaded "bubble." But once the bracket is revealed, how -- and even why -- teams got in matters little, and the excitement of following your bracket begins.



Some years the Super Bowl stinks; some years the World Series is a dud. But the NCAA Tournament — with its 68 teams, from all across USA and featuring an endless supply of fascinating characters and unlikely heroes — always satisfies. It gives sports fans (or just office pool dabblers) a stake in the action, and it is a constant generator of storylines. No matter how angry you might be at college basketball, no matter how fundamentally unfair you may feel the sport is, no matter how absurd it is that coaches sign million-dollar shoe contracts but players are punished for trying to get their often-underprivilged families some money to survive... the tournament always wins you over.



About some teams ...

Duke was given the No. 1 overall seed in the N.C.A.A. Division I men’s basketball tournament Sunday night, starting Coach Mike Krzyzewski and his star freshman Zion Williamson on a path to what they hope will be the Blue Devils’ sixth national title.

Duke (29-5) was one of three Atlantic Coast Conference teams to receive top seeds, joining Virginia (29-3) and North Carolina (27-6). It was the second time members of the same conference were named three of the four No. 1s; the Big East did so in 2009.

Duke Blue Devils forward Zion Williamson has been the most celebrated (and scrutinized) player in college basketball this season. On Sunday in Columbia, South Carolina, he'll share the floor with another college hoops phenomenon -- 7-foot-6 center Tacko Fall of UCF (5:15 p.m. ET, CBS).

Fall made headlines in the wake of UCF's victory, telling NCAA.com he wasn't interested in appearing as an extra on the next iteration of the Zion Williamson Dunk Project.

"It's very hard [to dunk on me]. I mean, I won't allow it. I won't allow him putting me on one of his highlight tapes."



The fourth No. 1 seed was Gonzaga (30-3), the small stalwart from Spokane, Wash. While the Bulldogs lost the West Coast Conference title game to St. Mary’s last week, they already have a win over Duke on their résumé from a tournament in late November in Hawaii.


.. time is short

                         … and the road is long



                             Feel the beat of your heart
                             feel the wind in your face
                             it’s more than a contest
                             it’s more than a race…

                             And when it’s done
                             win or lose

                             you always did your best
                             cuz inside you knew…



ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU REACHED FOR THE SKY
