1. Dwayne Allen Womens Jersey . A steady supply of refreshmentsLets face it: looking down a tournament consisting of 68 teams, 67 games, and 134 halves of exciting basketball, you have time for a beverage or two. Draw up your own personal version of the Washington Posts celebrated March Madness beer bracket. If youre not passed out by the time Kansas gets eliminated, youre doing it wrong. 2. Your finest throwback jersey The Wilt? The Kareem? The Laettner? Whatever your style, no March Madness would be complete unless youre decked out in some properly sleeveless vintage threads (And in the process, take a trip down memory lane to the days when Vince Carter still bothered to dunk). 3. NCAA snuggies But why stop with jerseys? If the plan is not to leave the sofa til somebody cuts the net down, you might as well stay cozy in one of these terribly comfortable (and terribly gaudy) college hoops snuggies. 4. A mini hoop for your living room Do you sit around daydreaming about draining a three at the buzzer? Well, forget about going outside to prove that you could have nailed it—if only coach had put you in. Instead, take the time to perfect your flick, re-create unforgettable dunks, and re-live the tourneys most brutal posterizations--all without putting your pants on. For more serious in-home hoopsters, set up both an NBA and college three-point line. 5. This insanely awesome 90s basketball pen This year, youll need two brackets. One is the TSN Tournament Challenge, where you compete online against your friends. The other is the hard copy version, which will stare you down from your coffee table throughout the tourney. To check off your genius upset picks as they happen, look no further than this insanely cool basketball pen. 6. The best basketball movies When the last buzzer sounds and your insatiable craving for hoops remains thoroughly unquenched, the best basketball movies of all time are here to fill the void. We recommend starting with this classic trifecta: Hoosiers, He Got Game, and White Men Cant Jump. If youre still wired after 13 hours of Madness and three feature films, well, theres always Space Jam. 7. Star-tracking resources Youre going to hear a lot of new names over the next couple weeks, and at times it can feel like information overload. Youll definitely require some background info on where each tournament-conquering scorer might fall in the upcoming NBA Draft. For all that and much, much nerdier stats and information, look to two resources: NBADraft.net and DraftExpress.com. Track the stars, keep tabs on whose draft stock is rising or falling, and find out who could be the next Amare Stoudemire (with the heart of a champion, of course). 8. A March Madness map Just where is Gonzaga, anyway? What the heck is Creighton? And where exactly might one find Stephen F. Austin State University? March Madness geography questions require answers. This interactive map is a handy geographical guide to college basketballs biggest programs, and it also outlines how much each teams coach is paid per tournament win. 9. March Madness Bingo A blog called For All Momkind came up with this genius idea to make the tourney a touch more exciting: March Madness bingo cards. Employ them to add a much-needed layer of intrigue to the impending deluge of college hoops clichés. 10. TSN GO Naturally, wed be remiss not to close with a reminder that the whole tourney is available to all TSN subscribers on the networks newly-launched digital live streaming service. If youre somehow tied up away from the big screen due to work-related commitments, its the perfect antidote to that whole having-a-career thing. Jonathan Newsome Jersey . -- Jermaine Marshall scored eight of his 29 points in the second overtime and Jordan Bachynski blocked T. Adam Vinatieri Jersey . Canada dropped a 24-21 decision to Zimbabwe before bouncing back with a 10-7 win over Spain. All three sides finished with seven points apiece in Pool E to move on to the final eight while the Philippines was last with only three points.LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Kansas freshman Andrew Wiggins made official Monday what hes been telling folks all along: Hes headed to the NBA after his only season with the Jayhawks. The 6-foot-8 forward, who was voted second-team All-America earlier in the day, is expected to go in the top three picks in the June draft. Many believe he could go first overall. "It wasnt an easy decision because the fans showed me so much love here," said Wiggins, choking up briefly during a news conference at Allen Fieldhouse. "I just wish I had more time. College goes by so fast. I can see why people stay all four years." The Canadian was the top-rated recruit when he arrived at Kansas, and his brief career was a bit of a roller coaster. He struggled early in the season, caught fire midway through, and then flamed out when it mattered most in an NCAA tournament loss to Stanford. Wiggins, from Vaughan, Ont., only scored four points on 1-for-6 shooting in the third-round defeat. Afterward, he said despondently that he let his team down with his poor performance. That ultimately didnt have any bearing on his decision, though. He announced he was going pro while joined by Kansas coach Bill Self, his parents -- former NBA player Mitchell Wiggins and Olympic silver medallist Marita Payne Wiggins -- his older brother Mitchell Jr., and several of his teammates, including fellow freshmen Wayne Selden and Joel Embiid. Selden has already announced hes returning for his sophomore season. Embiid has not made a decision, even though hes also expected to be a top-five pick in the draft. Wiggins certainly had a historic season at Kansas. He averaged a freshman-record 17.1 points and nearly six rebounds per game, and was voted the APs Big 12 freshman of the year and first-team all-conference. "Obviously this announcement needed to happen," said Self, who believes one of the biggest challenges Wiggins will face is realizing that basketball will suddenly become his job. "Its not like this year. He came in with so much hype, and whether he knew it or not, everybody was salivating for a chance to go against a guy with that much hype," Self said. Dwayne Allen Jersey. . "And hes going to the next level with a lot of hype, but men are going to be saying, Whoa, whoa, whoa, rook. Ive been doing this a long time and youre going to have to earn your way." Wiggins simply flashed a smile when asked if he was ready for it. "Just listening to him now," his father said, "Im thinking about when he was that little bitty kid that was dirty, and not listening, and now? Hes a young man that I think gets it. I think hes going to do very well." Hes also made it through his freshman season healthy. Unlike Embiid, Wiggins never had to deal with any nagging injuries, and his mother said that factored into his decision. "The best thing is hes not injured. Hes able to go ahead and complete part of his goals," she said. "Every day is a new day. He has no injuries and hes ready to go." Self said Embiid is still wrestling with his stay-or-go decision. The 7-footer from Cameroon was waylaid late in the season by a stress fracture in his back, and that could factor into Embiids draft status, along with the fact that hes only been playing basketball for a few years. Embiid slipped out of the room immediately after Wiggins had finished speaking Monday, but Self told a few reporters that he had not made his decision, despite a report last week that said Embiid would enter the draft. "That doesnt mean he couldnt still do that, but that was gun-jumping," Self said. "It certainly upset him, because somebody that was a source obviously didnt have good information." Self doesnt expect Embiid to make his intentions known anytime soon. "The decision he needs to make is whats best for him," Self said, "whether to stay another year or to go, and I could see him do either one of them. And I think you could make a case that either one would be a good decision. Hes not quite like Andrew whos been playing the game his whole life. Hes only been playing three years. Hes still trying to figure it out."wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' '
