The March Madness men’s and women’s brackets are out.

The 2nd-seed UConn women will tip off against 15th-seed Mercer at home on Saturday. And UConn’s men’s basketball will play New Mexico State later this week -- UConn is the fifth seed, New Mexico is the twelfth. The Fairfield women’s team also got the nod and will play against Texas.

Meanwhile, Yale University’s men’s basketball team held on for a 66-64 victory over Princeton yesterday to win the Ivy League tournament. The win means the Bulldogs will get to play in the NCAA Tournament for the sixth time.

Information from The Associated Press is included in this report.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
