Picking NCAA tournament winners is a delicate balance of luck, preparedness

For Brett Slapke – and for many – March isn’t a bad time to be alive.

His birthday lands in the middle of the month. St. Patrick’s Day isn’t long after. The weather – usually – starts to turn around. And, probably most importantly, the NCAA basketball season culminates in a three-week frenzy of Cinderella stories and busted brackets, 20-year-olds deciding the wagers, work output and general happiness of those two or three times older.

It is March Madness. And it is here.
