Regional Tournaments Set to Begin
The college basketball season is playing it’s last games of the year as they prepare for tourney play in regional action. The last weekend of the season ended with the number 1 team in the land UCONN going down to Pittsburgh. This appears to be one of the most evenly matched up tournaments in a long time and this is just the appetizer for the NCAA Tournament that will begin soon.
I look forward to watching the teams in the ACC and SEC conferences battling it out this week. Both of these tournaments are going to be fun to watch and I’m sure they will be at least one final four team in the NCAA tourney that comes from either the ACC or SEC. A few bubble teams may need to win their regional tournaments to qualify for the NCAA tournament.
I think the NCAA tourney in college basketball is better than any other college or professional sport. 64 teams that get to battle on neutral ground and the winner keeps playing; while the losers go home for the year. College football could certainly take lessons from the basketball program and create a playoff system in college football. We may not know who the true winner in college football is; but we do get to crown a true champion in basketball. Which team do you think has the right players, coaches, and are just now hitting their stride to win it all this year?
