The Last Night's Game Team

March Madness is upon us with Selection Sunday this weekend. Both the women's and men's brackets will be unveiled on Sunday. How do teams make it to the "big dance?" They can either win their conference championship tournament (aka an automatic bid) or have a regular season so outstanding that the committee* selects their team. GAME ON
*The twelve-member basketball selection committee is made up of athletic directors and conference commissioners throughout Division I men's and women's athletics with separate committees for the men's and women's tournaments.

The Sunday World Baseball Classic game between Mexico and the United States is sold out. It is one of North America's most highly anticipated sporting events this year.

WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) is in talks over legalized betting on scripted match results.
