It’s that time of the year again where office pools make their rounds in the spirit of friendly competition and folks everywhere partake in the madness of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. With sixty five teams competing within three weeks for the top slot, it’s no wonder this tournament has so many inspired nicknames. For fans (and for those of you with skin in the game), we added a new shortcut to Yahoo! Search that provides a quick and easy way to stay on top of the games. Search for March Madness and get to where you want to go in one click. Check it out:

We’ve included seed numbers, game times, and when the games are in play, real-time scores. If you prefer, you can use our existing score shortcuts to get updates on a particular team. For example, try Gators score, UCLA score and Duke score.

For those of you who are a novice in a pool, Yahoo! Sports can help you get ready for tip off. We have some more sport shortcuts in the works to add to our growing list of shortcuts, so let us know if you’ve got any ideas and thoughts for others.
