Mini Tournament Time

The NCAA Tournament does not start until next week but right now we are in mini tournament time, which is almost just as enjoyable as the big show. Currently, the NCAA conferences are having their conference tournaments. Think mini NCAA tournaments all around the country with every team in the country having a chance to make the big dance. That is what makes the NCAA Tournament so wonderful, every team has a chance, all they have to do is win their conference tournament. There is no computer telling us who plays where, no voters who have never seen some of the teams they are casting votes for. Sure, some teams may not have as good as chances as others, but there is always that chance. In the smaller conferences, the conference championship usually in the only way to get to the NCAA Tournament, which makes those games so exciting to watch. In the bigger conferences, it is the bubble teams that have so much at stake. This is there final chance to prove if they deserve the chance to go to the big dance or not. So sit back and watch plenty of college basketball this week. It is not the NCAA Tournament, but it is very close.
