The Double-A Zone, the official blog of the NCAA, will be on site at the Men’s and Women’s Final Fours in Detroit and St. Louis, offering readers a behind-the-scenes look at the Division I basketball championships.

In addition to continuous coverage of related events, bloggers Ryan Powell (men’s) and Marta Lawrence (women’s) will be updating readers using Twitter, the microblogging Web site. The pair’s tweets are available at www.twitter.com/ncaadoubleazone or on the homepage of the blog.

Readers will also get access to events not covered in the national media, including the men’s and women’s salute dinners honoring the student-athletes and coaches from each of the four teams. Exclusive videos, podcasts and slideshows will also be featured.

 The bloggers will cover the open practice sessions, using the live blogging service CoverItLive. Readers can submit comments, which Powell and Lawrence will answer in real-time.
