Each of the following pairs comprise a basketball conference and a rock band. Which is which? Atlantic 10 and Matchbox 20. Son Volt and Sun Belt. Mid-Continent and Incontinent. That final one is a trick question—Incontinent is neither a league nor a band, it's just the condition in which you may find yourself after sitting inert through ESPN and ESPN2's cornucopia of conference tournament games from Monday through Friday, including 20 on the final two days. It's as if the folks in Bristol are daring us to get a life.
