-

New Mexico State and Baylor will take March Madness all over the world. Their NCAA Tournament game Friday will feature 10 players who were born outside of the United States. New Mexico State has seven of them, and its coach, Paul Weir, is from Toronto. France, Ivory Coast, Kenya, India, Australia, Belgium, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Canada all will be represente­d by birth or heritage when the two teams take the court. More than half of the 68 teams in the NCAA Tournament had at least one player from another country on their rosters at the start of the season. The Associated Press
