COLUMBIA, Mo. • It’s that time of the year, when the CBS basketball song starts sounding like Beethoven, and brackets become edicts and everyone thinks they know who’ll win it all … though I’m sorry to break it to you, but this year, no one knows.
Normally, there’s some frontrunner blue blood wearing blue — Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, UCLA, Kansas. I sense this is the year that a different team will win it all, but it’s tricky to pick thee.
The team that fascinates me most is Virginia, if only because the Cavaliers play such a different brand of basketball.
