The NCAA Tournament is the best single event in sports. I won't argue this. But for as much as I do prefer quality over quantity, I like this week more than next week, mainly because of the sheer volume of college basketball games spread throughout the week.
Today is the best. Starting and noon, and running into the early hours of tomorrow, there will be 56 Division 1 college basketball games. Some will be better than others. Some will mean more than others. But any day that sets me up to overdoes on 14 or so straight hours of college basketball cannot be topped by any other day on the American sports calendar.
Here's Some Stuff for today....
