There won't be a single 1, 2 or 3 seed in the men’s Final Four today — the first time that's ever happened.
By the numbers: Summing the seed rankings of the four teams (No. 9 Florida Atlantic, No. 5 Miami, No. 5 San Diego State and No. 4 UConn) makes this year the second-highest seed total at 23. Only the 2011 Men’s Final Four had a higher seed total, at 26.
By the numbers: The women's Elite Eight round of the tournament drew 2.2 million average viewers — the most on record for ESPN and 43% higher than 2022.
A truck stop electrification company and a defunct pro basketball league have nothing in common, except that they just merged.
Driving the news: Shorepower, an Oregon-based firm founded in 2004, has gone public via a reverse merger with the United States Basketball League, which operated between 1985 and 2008.
