Kevin Huerter has been getting ready to play in his first NCAA tournament game for most of his life.
When he was old enough to fill out a bracket, Huerter took his shot in the ultra-competitive family pool in upstate Clifton Park, N.Y. The winner didn't get money; the reward was being able to deliver a year's worth of trash talk.
"This is always my favorite time of year, and a lot of other people's, filling out the bracket, seeing how your teams were doing, watching every game," the Maryland freshman guard said Tuesday.
