[Note: There will be March Madness update posts, starting with a teams’ average attendance list, Tuesday night. For non-USA based sports fans of this site, don’t worry, I will have some more European football maps in the next few weeks, including the 2008 Russian Premier League, and the UEFA Cup Quarter-Finals. And sorry if there are errors…this map was done on the fly.
Finally, my pick is Memphis.
