“When you snap your fingers or wink your eye I come a-running to you. I’m tied to your apron strings and there’s nothing that I can’t do. Can’t help myself, no, I can’t help myself.”
When it comes to March Madness there’s not much to do other than give into the moment. It’s the most exciting show on earth.
In the blink of an eye the 2009 NCAA Basketball Tournament will begin its annual pulse-pounding extravaganza. In all likelihood hearts will be broken, a new champion crowned, and memories of upsets and game-winning shots will leave the court in assured dramatic fashion when the ‘Big Dance’ takes center stage on Thursday, March 19th.
Get your dancing shoes out. With just 3 weeks remaining in the regular season portion of the 2008-09 college basketball campaign talk of the NCAA Tournament becomes more and more a matter of serious discussion.
“Selection Sunday” (March 15) will be only five weeks away with the completion of this weekend’s play in college hoops. Bracket Buster Saturday is next weekend and the first of what will be 30 conference tournaments begin on March 3, when the Big South, Horizon League and the Ohio Valley Conference tip off their postseason events.
