Yes, the calendar says April, but March Madness reaches its zenith this weekend with the Final Four.

Syracuse will battle Michigan in one national semifinal, while Louisville takes on Wichita State in the other, with the winners advancing to Monday night's national championship game.

There are plenty of other options aside from the Final Four. Major League Baseball kicks into gear with its first weekend of regular season play, while the NBA and NHL continues its postseason push. And don't forget the women's Final Four takes place Sunday, too.
