With the meat of March Madness getting ready to tip off this week, longtime ESPN college basketball analyst and former Duke star Jay Bilas takes a shot at some NCAA Q&A with Post columnist Steve Serby.
For the second straight Saturday night, Duke failed to deliver Coach K a send-off victory. This time it was Virginia Tech playing party pooper. Hunter Cattoor scored a career-high 31 points and the seventh-seeded Hokies won the Atlantic Coast...
