Almost there.
We’re almost to the first NCAA men’s Final Four in nearly two years.
Almost to settling into our, um, Barkley Loungers to watch Baylor versus Houston on Saturday at 5:14 p.m. EDT on CBS followed by top-seeded Gonzaga versus UCLA at approximately 8:32 p.m. on the same network.
Almost there to completing one of the oddest – if not THE oddest – NCAA tourneys ever thanks to the omnipresent coronavirus pandemic and all those COVID-19 protocols that come with it.
Here we are, 55 weeks removed from March 13, 2020, when the world as we’d always known it, especially the sports world, ground to a screeching halt.
