So you’re into March Madness and want to have your fix of college basketball news all the time? Yahoo is pitching few of its mobile apps as great tools to keep up with the latest news and commentary.

For instance, using IntoNow you will be able to “tag” a game you’re watching and instantly receive stats, scores, brackets, video commentary and more on your iOS or Android-based device. Moreover, there’s an option to either enjoy the sports alone or connect with your buddies on Facebook and Twitter.

Then there’s Yahoo! Sportacular (available on iPhone, iPad and BlackBerry devices), which gives you up-to-the-minute scores, standings, schedules and stats. Moreover, you can try out Yahoo! Tourney Pick’em, which will be available across devices, including desktop and apps for Android, iPhone and iPad.

Finally, when at home, check out the NCAA March Madness module on top of the Yahoo! search results page, or the Yahoo! Sports TV App for NCAA Basketball on Yahoo! Connected TVs (VIZIO, Sony and Toshiba TVs)… Can’t say you don’t have the right tools to get into March Madness properly. ;)

    Interesting stats. I anticipated such a trend for March Madness but not in the percentiles that I have just read.
