A strange little side quest
A little context makes March Madnesss 2024 more fun to place on the gaming map. The earliest basketball games used peach baskets, and Naismith wrote 13 original rules for the new indoor sport. The same trail leads to another fact: Archery was already on the Olympic programme in 1900, boxing joined the modern Games in 1904, and basketball became a medal sport in 1936. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at March Madnesss 2024 feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
