MARCH MADNESS- NCAA COLLEGE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT-LET THE GAMES BEGIN


It is that time of year.  If you are a college basketball fan you are glued to the tube for the first and second rounds of the NCAA Basketball Tournament.  The brackets have been filled out.  The talking about who should be in, who should be out is subsiding.  The games have begun.  The upsets are beginning.

I was very happy that my team Tennessee played it’s way into the tournament with a victory over Iowa.

And another of “my teams”, NC State also played into the tournament with a win over Xavier.  (Unfortunately they had a nail biter loss to St. Louis on Thursday).
