What is the story about?
If you need a little help finding a rooting interest for this year’s tournament, we took the time to find all of the Green Bay Packers connections between the team’s current roster and the colleges participating in March Madness this year.
I’m not much of a college basketball guy myself, but I’m going to try to make it to the Moda Center to see AJ Dybantsa (BYU) and Darius Acuff Jr. (Arkansas), two projected top selections in the upcoming NBA draft. Otherwise, I’m going in pretty blind.
If you want
