Tourney time

I've been invited to join our usual March Madness pool, but since I've been away for a year, I forgot--is that the Champions' League or the UEFA Cup? Actually, there's a lot I don't miss about the States, but I really miss the NCAA basketball tournament. Are there any better four days in sports than the first long weekend of the tourney when there are upsets galore? Alas, I'll miss it all. If there's any consolation, it's that I know almost nothing about most of the teams other than Duke (and I actually don't even know that much about them), which can only be an advantage in the pool this year if my poor past performance is any indicator...
