I'm not surprised to hear that. When did the tourney change? When was the last time a small school won the whole shebang?
But I thought maybe college ball had lost some luster since Bob Knight left.... do you guys root for teams like Purdue & Butler?
NCAA tourney is my favorite sporting event of them all (sorry sprint fans.... I like this too!)
One more thing: on my annual migration from Colorado to the East Coast every summer, it can get boring, so I stop at lots of little museums. I had a GREAT time at Indiana HS hoops museum in New Castle! Its a circular tour, they start you off in a little theater & show a film about Hoosier ball. I was the only person watching....a little old man was up on a ladder fixing something & came down when they showed 1951 (?) HS Champs: "See that guy in the back row? Thats me!" He then proceeded to give me the ultimate guided tour, wouldn't stop talking (a Hoosier Dick Vitale? ) Gotta luv the enthusiasm!
