It’s a mad, mad, mad March. And there’s nowhere more crazy about college basketball than Kansas City. From the Sprint Center to Municipal Auditorium, up and down the Power and Light District to living rooms everywhere, college hoops are here.

We’ll hear about the sport’s history here in Kansas City, the financial impact of all this on the region, and of course—the games themselves.
