    I started following college basketball in 1995 when Valparaiso won the Mid Continent Conference but weren't in the NCAA tournament. They call it Hoosier Hardwood Hysteria and it affects not only college but high school teams. It's quite contagious

    Then there was "The Shot" in 1988...

    Valpo now belongs to the Horizon League, which gets an automatic NCAA bid. The Horizon League teams are all in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. This year Butler University (in Indianapolis) is playing in the NCAA for the Horizon League. Go, Butler!
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Butler won their first game by a heartbeat! I hope they win more!

    My dad was watching the Gonzaga and Saint John's game last night- John Stockton's son David plays for Gonzaga. John Stockton played with Jeff Hornacek (who's from Chicago ) for the Utah Jazz. The college players all look so young! Guess I am getting really old.

    It's a Catholic college in Washington -- Jesuit, actually, named for Aloysius Gonzaga, Jesuit priest and missionary. They have a pretty good basketball team

    It was a great first (er, sorry, second round) wasn't it? So many close games!!! And both my Bearcats (University of Cincinnati) and Wolverines (Michigan) made it to the second round. I'd love to have to choose who to root for between them in the regional finals, but I am not sure that will happen. Pretty tough teams between now and then.

    Madness Day 3! Here we go!
