It’s Friday and you know what that means!

Welcome to the weekend, ladies and gentlemen! Hopefully your week went better than the Big Ten’s or the Big 12’s. There are as many schools named for televangelists in the Sweet Sixteen as there are from either of those conferences. Some great tourney matchups coming up this weekend. By Tuesday night, we’ll have our Final Four. Enjoy!

What happened this week

A wild NBA trade deadline, with Nikola Vucevic heading to Chicago and Victor Oladipo to Miami.

Oklahoma basketball coach Lon Kruger retired.

Our Scott Miller covered WWE Fastlane.
