After Wisconsin dismantled American on Thursday, Badgers fans get the day off on Friday. Of course, a "day off" isn't necessarily free in March -- you have your bracket to watch, as well as the rest of UW's West region.
That said, it's never been easier to enjoy March Madness. If you're on the go, the mobile app produced by the NCAA and Turner Broadcasting is pretty sharp -- it'll notify if your favorite team's games are close, when the score is close and (gasp) if it's upset. You can also chose to be notified whenever any upsets across the bracket are happening, and when they're final. Most importantly, you can watch all the games live, as long as you have a cable TV subscription.
If you're like me and you're just planted at your work desk all day long, throw up March Madness Live. You can get all the games (again, with a cable subscription), there's a handy Boss Button that even lets you pick "where you're hiding" and, at least from my experience on Thursday, it works pretty well while switching between games. Soak up that work wifi, and make no apologies.
