The NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four is set

And regardless of seeding, these four teams aren’t much of a surprise. Every coach has been to multiple Final Fours and of course Coach K has been to a million of them. I think this is his 12th? Something like that. So let me tell you which teams are playing in Indianapolis this upcoming weekend.

Michigan State. Duke. Kentucky. Wisconsin.

There are some nice story lines for this year’s Final Four. It’s a rematch of last year’s Final Four between Wisconsin and Kentucky. Of course, Wisconsin lost that game and Kentucky lost in the final. And let’s not forget the fact that Kentucky is going for an undefeated season. That adds a little to the mix.

And then we have Coach K. facing off against Tom Izzo. Two guys who have been at the top of their game for some time now. And two storied programs.

All in all, this year’s tournament has been pretty fascinating. And I don’t see any reason for that to change for the remaining three games.

Why ya got? Does Kentucky finish off their season cutting down the nets? Or maybe Wisconsin gets revenge? Coach K. wins his fifth national title? Or does Tom Izzo and Michigan State ruin everyone’s party?

Snapchat Venturing Into Live Sports

And I have no interest in anything they’ll be offering. If you use the mobile social network, then you’re already familiar with its “Our Story” feature. It’s basically where individual snaps and videos are posted from big events. For example, I’ve seen New York Fashion Week, the Arnold Sports Festival, and the Oscars. But now they want more.

Rumor has it that the first live sports event to be covered this way will be this year’s NCAA Final Four. And all snaps and videos will still come from users. But what I’m not understanding is how this is a change from what they already do. I’ve seen snaps and videos in the “Our Story” feature from the World Series, BCS Championship, and Super Bowl. All from fans.

I think what may be different now is that there will be a legitimate deal in place with the leagues to feature particular events. I honestly have no idea. What I do know is that I’d much rather watch the games or matches of any event live on TV than see ten second bits and pieces on Snapchat. That isn’t the way to watch sports.
