NCAA Tournament

Right now is one of the best times of the year where a whole lot of teams are now playing for their way in to the NCAA tournament. All day games are played to decide who gets in the field of 65 ( it’s really 64 but there is the for no reason play in game that doesn’t matter between teams who almost didn’t make it and the winner will most likely be eliminated in the first round ). Now we don’t have to worry about our team and not even the other teams in the state (Vanderbilt and Tennessee) but many schools are playing for post season future. What makes it so exciting is every year some team gets into the tournament and plays the role of the proverbial “Cinderella” and thus the name March Madness because everything ends up going wrong. With both the men’s tournaments and the women’s going on at the same time there is plenty basketball to go around. In the Women’s tournament it looks like the Lady Vols might repeat as champs and our Tigers have a rough road ahead of them but they could be cutting down the nets in San Antonio.
