Triangle Sports Roundup; Rewind, recap, and updates

The NFL season has come to an end with the Green Bay Packers winning their first Super Bowl since 1997 and their fourth overall by beating the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25 in Super Bowl XLV in front of the largest crowd ever at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, TX on Sunday. With action on the gridiron completed, arena sports will reign supreme as both the NHL and NBA are headed into their final 30 games, give or take a few per team, as both leagues will provide for an interesting run to the playoffs heading into mid-April.

However, before that time comes, the all-encompassing and riveting set of post-season college basketball games known as March Madness will capture everyone's attention to watch who will become the 2011 NCAA Men's Basketball champion.

The year has already gotten off to a great start, but in case you missed some of the action, the Triangle Sports Roundup will help bridge the gap:
