It's March, Baby!
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
It's time to forget about steroids and lockouts and spoiled NBA prima-donnas and focus on the best three weeks of the year for sport fans. The only downside of the NCAA tournament is having to hear from Dick Vitale more often. The way he finishes every sentence with an enthusiastic "baby!" was cool when I was in high school, but now it's thoroughly aggravating. It's a close race between he and Bill Walton for the most annoying basketball commentator. But I digress...
There are a few conference tournaments going on this weekend that start off the frenzy of March Madness. Some schools that have no chance of getting an at-large bid into the Big Dance will win their conference tournament and get in. That's what makes college basketball exciting. There's always hope until your last loss.
If you want to win your office bracket pool or just want to beat your significant other (my girlfriend's goal - which she accomplished last year), here's a good place to start. You can do all the research you want and still look foolish once the games start, though. There's a reason it's called madness.
