March Madness reaches its conclusion tonight with the Final Four taking place in New Orleans. If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent the last several nights walking around your neighborhood muttering to yourself why the NCAA Tournament actually ends on April 2nd. Anyways, Kentucky vs Louisville and Ohio State vs Kansas should be two outstanding games and hopefully we’ll see some outstanding Billies nominees this week. Charles Barkley leads the standings by a healthy margin, but Clark Kellogg is still within reach. Kellogg, Jim Nantz, and Steve Kerr will call the Final Four with a cast of thousands in the studio. Leave us all the announcer and analyst quotes in the comments below or tweet them to us at @awfulannouncing and/or by using the hashtag #BPAA.
