March Madness is here and college basketball fans everywhere will be filling out their brackets soon. This week we have the regional college tournaments going on and I look forward to watching some of those matchups. A few college basketball teams need a good showing in these regional tourneys for them to advance into the NCAA tournament. If they don’t pick up a few wins this week; they will be looking at a NIT appearance. The NIT tournament is fun to watch too, but all college teams want to go to the big dance and make it into the NCAA tournament.

A field of 64 teams playing on neutral courts and they all hope to make it to the final four. The last 4 teams standing in college basketball are all winners and a lot of attention gets focused on the final 4 teams. I think making it to the final four is just like winning a championship and all 4 teams are winners in my book. The team that loses the Super Bowl every year is a winner too and just making an appearance at the Super Bowl is an achievement and that’s a lot like the top 4 teams in the NCAA tournament.

We are still waiting to see what 64 teams will make up the 2009 field in college basketball, but you can already start thinking about the top teams and how they will do against each other, if they get a chance to play head to head. It will be a fun week of college basketball this week and it really gets fun after they announce the teams that will be playing in this year’s NCAA tournament!
