Throw a March Madness Party

The competition is fierce with only 65 college basketball teams allowed to compete for the coveted men's NCAA title. Participating teams are announced by a NCAA selection committee; although some teams are guaranteed a spot because they won their conference tournament, or they're the top seeded teams in their region.

It all comes to a head in March, during the 20-day tournament fondly known as March Madness. And it's the perfect time to go a little crazy at your place and party like a hoops star!

Make a fast break to the kitchen and check out these helpful tips and menu ideas for hosting a memorable March Madness game day party of your own:

Throw in Some Team Spirit � Invite your college friends, or mix it up with family and friends of the rival team to create a lively rooting section. And don't forget to tell everyone to wear their team colors!

Preparation is the best defense � Select menu items that can be made ahead of time � and are easy to eat. Recipes like Quick Cantonizza made with Kikkoman Sweet & Sour Sauce, is a real crowd-pleaser � and a great crowd-feeder. Just place in the oven close to game time and serve in the first half.

Offer big-flavored nibbles � Serve some hot party apps, like Salmon-Crab Cakes with Three Sauces with Kikkoman Ponzu Sauce for dipping, or easy Drums of Heaven � chicken wing drumettes with an Asian twist.

With Kikkoman's helpful hints, hosting a winning March Madness party is a slam dunk!
