🏀 Down to 12
I recently received a few letters from the fine folks at the NCAA about our use of the trademarked phrase “March Madness,” among others.
It seems like we should get a free pass since Brent Musburger, the Godfather of VSiN, made the phrase trademark-worthy.
But no worries today — we’re down to the Tenacious 12™ in the NCAA Tournament.

Hornets Flex Maturity
It was impressive to see Charlotte earn a wire-to-wire victory over the Knicks, one of the favorites to win the East. For months now, this Hornets team has been stacking wins and looking the part of an elite team when looking at their advanced stats profile.
Kon Knueppel finished with 26 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists, going wild after strong back-to-back games from Cooper Flagg. The Rookie of the Year race is going to be fascinating to monitor.
Friday night
We have 10 games Friday and plenty of parlay options as we look to fade some of these miserable franchises. 👉 Zach’s best bets →
