[Video]: Kings of Leon 'Official' Rock Band of the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship

Alternative rock band Kings of Leon is the "offical" rock band of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship. With bracket madness happening this week, plus MSU playing Thursday, I thought this would be a fun video to include in the blog.

The video will also be played in about 6,000 movie theatres across the country between now at St. Patrick's Day. 

Of course, for the latest on everything NCAA and MSU sports, visit Hey Joe's blog.

Here's the vid: Kings of Leon's March Madness music video for, "The Immortals," off their current album, "Come Around Sundown," via the NCAA, below:
