Around College Basketball

I think it mimics the conference tournaments more so, with the back-to-backs, especially Maui and Atlantis, which go three straight days (I think they're the only two that still do that).

In the NCAA Tournament, you always have a day off in between.

The back-to-back days are immaterial, as I was more so referring to the (big) upsets that occur in these early season tournaments.

Despite the bad results for the Big East there have been a lot of close, highly entertaining games this week. I rarely watch football so this has been great for me.

I've lived up here long enough to know they only care about ice hockey and football. Big advantage for PC, AS THEY scoop up all the NEPSAC talent that wants to stay relatively local.
