If you were planning on spending the day watching second-round NCAA tournament games, now might be a good time to take a walk or a nap or do yard work or the taxes or anything more interesting than the basketball. It wasn’t enough that UCLA was so thoroughly dismantled by Villanova; now Connecticut is toying with Texas A&M (29-13) and Memphis already has a 53-33 halftime lead over Maryland. The Atlantic Coast Conference, by the way, is not representing itself very well what with Wake Forest, Boston College and Clemson gone and Maryland well on its way.

But if you enjoy blowouts, it is a pleasure listening to Jay Bilas and Dick Enberg together. Bilas understands what each team wants to do, is doing and isn’t doing.
