The Road to One Shining Moment Starts Here

Are you ready? I mean, ARE. YOU. READY? I know a lot of people don’t count Tuesday and Wednesday’s play-in games as the “actual” tournament, but I beg to differ, because it just extends the Madness! Plus, I have South Florida making it to the Sweet 16, so I really need them to get past Cal tomorrow.

So let’s discuss my bracket. I have Kentucky winning it all, which I’m not super excited about, and I’d be fine with it not happening, even if it means I lose out on this year’s bracket pools. I’m just such a Calipari hater. But, other than Indiana pulling off another UK upset, I just don’t see them losing. My other Final Four teams: UNC, Ohio State and Missouri. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

Basketball Fever!

It’s only January (ok, close to February) but I’m pretty sure I’ve already surpassed my basketball game total from last season and the season before, combined! Between my St. John’s season tickets, trips to North Carolina for some ACC action, and a few Ivy-A10 match-ups here and there, it’s certainly been an exciting few months of college basketball for me. And now I share it with you.

Take a peek at my basketball life so far in NYC. See for yourself how Wally Szczerbiak’s eyebrows have a mind of their own. Get a good look at Lou Carnesecca in my creepy stalker picture. And of course, analyze the breakdown of Duke’s defense in their last second loss to FSU. I have at least 50 times. Enjoy!

So this post is a tad premature since we’re not technically at Midnight Madness just yet, but you know what? I have a wedding to get to this weekend in Houston and sometimes I just don’t have time for you people. There. I said it. Not that I don’t love you. Clearly I’m writing this early so that you all have something to read. So I do care. I just can’t be on top of everything, all the time…Don’t leave me. I’m nothing without you. I’ll be better. Ok. I’m done.

We’re nearing that perfect time of the year when college basketball springs into action. I got my St. John’s season tickets in the mail yesterday, and life is starting to feel right again. It seems like only yesterday UConn went on their great run to win both the Big East Tournament and the NCAA Tournament. I still hate them, but I love me a good sports story.
