The men's Sweet Sixteen games begin today in four locations. Four games will be nationally televised  tonight and the other four tomorrow. The Elite Eight games will then follow on Saturday and Sunday, with the Final Four at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.  National Championship on April 7 at 8:50 EDT on CBS. The women's final eight games begin on Friday, with Elite Eight finals on Sunday and Monday, and national championship game in the Amalie Arena, Tampa, Florida, at 3PM EDT on April 6. Big shocker was the  season-ending knee injury of the best women's player this year , Juju Watkins of USC. One bit of good news is that my ESPN women's bracket pick is at 95.4%. The Major League Baseball season started play between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs in Japan last week.  Dodgers won both games. So are they a lock on again being champions this year?  Yes, and no.  Mookie Betts has lost a lot weight and hasn't really played in Spring ball, ...
