It's been tough to do an adequate job of handicapping today's contest card with all of the distractions of March Madness. Here in CT it has been compounded by having a portion of the first two rounds of the men's bracket played in nearby Hartford and some of the first two rounds of the women's division on the UConn campus in Storrs. Those of us who have succumbed to the madness have been rewarded with some superb basketball, including the play of Ja Morant of Murray State, who may be the best college player I've seen since Ray Allen. Ironically, they hail from the same small town in South Carolina and Allen played high school ball with Morant's father.
OK, got to get to work on the Fair Grounds.
