The 2016 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament is approaching, and the personal finance website

The 2016 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament is approaching, and the personal finance website WalletHub has released its March Madness By The Numbers report, which examines the billion-dollar basketball, betting and business bonanza. Here are a handful of interesting stats from the report:

v $1.9 billion: Hourly losses by companies due to unproductive workers during March Madness

v $9 billion: Estimated amount wagered on the 2015 NCAA tournament ($7 billion illegally)

v 81 percent: The proportion of U.S. company human relations professionals that say their organizations don’t have policies addressing office pools

v 2: It’s twice as easy to win back-to-back Mega Millions lotteries than it is to fill out a perfect bracket.

v 17.5 million: Barrels of American beer produced each March, compared to an average of 14 million in all other months

“American Crime” (10 p.m., ABC): “American Crime,” arguably this season’s finest broadcast drama, wraps up its second season with what should be an emotionally wrenching finale. The episode takes one last look at the fallout from a sexual assault case that rocked an Indiana city.

“The Carmichael Show” (10 p.m., NBC): This funny — and provocative — sitcom kicks off its second season as Cynthia (Loretta Devine) spots her reverend cheating on his wife. It prompts a family discussion about infidelity and its consequences.

Kent-Trumbull Theater to present ‘Children’s Hour’

WARREN

Kent State University at Trumbull Theater will present Lillian Hellman’s classic drama “The Children’s Hour.” The play opens Friday and runs for two consecutive weekends.

Curtain times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 3 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $10 ($8 for seniors and students, and $6 for children under 12). For reservations, email trumbullboxoffice@kent.edu or call 330-675-8887.

The play is about a devious young student who accuses her teachers of having an affair. The two accused women must face the clash between culture, respectability and sexuality. It is a tense psychological and social drama that explores the limits of what kids are capable of doing and asks the important question: what responsibility do we have to the innocent?

Directed by Eric S. Kildow, the play features a cast of Kent-Trumbull students and others from the community.
