Midday Foul

Workplace productivity takes a beating this week as the NCAA men’s basketball tournament gets under way. Adding to the excitement, opening-round action takes place at the Sprint Center. The hometown gym is dark today, so bracket watchers can drink in the quadruple-header on television at their favorite pubs. The Power & Light District will show games on four screens in the KC Live courtyard. P&L visitors can also get their Verne Lundquist on at McFadden’s Sports Saloon (1330 Grand). Bosses, be warned: Lunches may run a little long today.
