Hey readers! Even though this is something we did the last few years, it feels extra extra appropriate this season. I’ll be posting lots of content (and not just writing) here between now and the Final Four, but I’ll also be contributing a few other places around the internet. My work will be here and at Rush the Court, Larry Brown Sports, and ESPN Insider over the next month. This post will stay atop the Palestra Back homepage and link to  every new piece I write no matter where it lives online. The newest breakdowns of bubbles and brackets will all appear here as we march through March, in reverse chronological order.
