The main focus at a sports tournament viewing is the game, so keep the decor to a clean minimum. When the menu consists of an assortment of appetizers, select beautiful platters to serve them on. Think about the color of the food and how it will look once plated.

When selecting a beverage to pair with a sporting event, like a basketball tournament, beer is the first thing that comes to mind. However, I know some of the Sugar girls dislike beer, so I'm going to serve shandys.
A shandy is a British beer cocktail that combines brew with lemonade.

No appetizer spread is complete with out a sweet dish. For my March Madness night with the fabulous ladies of Sugar, I'm serving a menu of sophisticated snacks. To keep up with the theme, I'll offer these lime squares with pistachio graham-cracker crust.

When I was a cheerleader in college, I preferred to dance at the fast-paced basketball games over the long, hot football games. There's something so exciting about basketball that makes it a fabulous sport to follow. Thanks to the office pool, this year, I've gotten very into March Madness, the whirlwind tournament that selects the nation's best college basketball team.

I filled out our office March Madness bracket and I'll clue you into my secret – since my alma mater performed miserably, I went for the animal mascots! Now I'm not sure how things will turn out for me in the end, but it was fun doing my research on the sporty creatures. Since some teams remained the same from last year, and others were totally new, take my quiz to see how you do in 2009!

Guys and sports often go hand in hand, but it's sometimes fun to be a fair-weather fan, especially during March Madness. Who doesn't love a little friendly competition when there's so much possibility for surprises? Some women, though, like to let boys be boys — they'll gladly use that time to do their own thing — but I'm curious to know how many of you are actually interested in this college football mayhem.

America's best college basketball teams are about to begin their quest for the national title, which means it's March Madness bracket time! The yearly tradition of creating an office or friend pool and filling out a bracket may be all fun and games for those who participate, but it isn't exactly a work productivity booster.
Last year, nearly 39 million workers took part in March Madness office pools or watched games at their computers, costing employers about $1.7 billion in lost work time over the tournament, according to a recent study.

Rather than rely on season records or uniform colors, I made many of my March Madness picks based on whether or not the school had an animal as a mascot. While it may be an unconventional method, I decided to extend the popular "Who Let the Dogs Out?" quiz to this year's college basketball tourney.
