March Madness is in full swing with the original field of 68 narrowed down to the Sweet Sixteen. This weekend provided plenty of drama. A handful of higher seeded teams made early exits and a handful of 14 seeds upset number three seeds. Adding to the intrigue were several close games that saw top contenders squeak by their lower seed opponents. The NCAA Basketball Tournament provides an easy way to follow emerging stars that will make an impact on NBA Draft day this coming June.
MLB Opening Day is less than a week away with several teams already having announced their starting rosters. Other teams still have, and will have players competing for final spots in the lineup this week. Who will emerge as top ROY contenders? We’ll know soon enough.
