March Madness observations

March Madness, how exciting to watch from the comfort of home the best basketball teams and players in our nation. Being a female senior citizen, I'm sure my opinion differs from some.
I've watched with excitement the Kentucky-Wisconsin game, which was won by one point. Did anyone else notice how prejudiced the announcers were toward Kentucky? They raved about the play of Kentucky the whole game. Not once did the TV focus on the Wisconsin coach. The TV was constantly on the actions of the Kentucky coach.
I realize this will show my generation gap. Is it necessary for the players to be covered with tattoos? They soon will be out in the business world and it won't be that impressive. Needless to say the players' talent outweighs any negativity.
A few observations from the grandmother who so enjoyed March Madness.
