NCAA Brackets

by Joey Whelan OK, be honest, some of us were a little surprised by Villanova’s run to the Final Four last season.

By: David Kay I already took vacation days during Feast Week.  That’s how much good college basketball is played during the week of Thanksgiving.  Plus, I am holding out hope that I will be eating turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing with Mickey, Minnie, and friends in Orlando in between watching Marquette play at the Old Spice Classic.  To quote Jerry Maguire, “Who’s coming with me?” The brackets have been released for that four-day tournament with the Golden Eagles drawing a tough opeNerf and playing in doors go together hand and hand.

The stadium hosted the championships in both the 2008 and 2009 seasons. I am disappointed only for a selfish reason as I have enjoyed many Big East tournaments through the years as they have been in New England multiple times. This is a good move by the Big East if they can get the weather to coorperate as it did

Ok, now NCAA coaches won't have any excuses or reasons to complain about the way the NCAA women's basketball pairings are set up this season. Geno Auriemma and Jen Rizzotti were two of 18 current head basketball coaches invited by the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball group to participate in a mock women's basketball tournament selection at the NCAA national office today and Friday.
