OMAHA, Neb. â?? It’s the kind of irony that is reserved for the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.
The University of Wisconsin, a team devoid of stars, was sent to a city that, for one week anyway, is teeming with headliners.

Mayo of USC and Michael Beasley of Kansas State, freshman scoring sensations and soon-to-be NBA lottery picks.
