It's win or go home for the 68 teams selected to compete in this year's NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament including area favorites, Indiana and Kentucky.
After last weekend's opening rounds of the the 2013 tournament, I may have to consider changing the headline to read, "Destined for Not-As-Bad-As-I-Thought Failure".
I learned over the weekend how seriously people in the Tri-State take their college basketball! (Or at least how quickly my Facebook friends, who never post about college b-ball all year, jump on the bandwagon when their team is doing well... One or the other.)
The NCAA committee that lays out the bracket for the men's basketball tournament got exactly what they wanted when they put IU and UK in same region, a rematch between the team many feel to be the best in the country and the team that handed them their first of only two losses the entire season.
The Kentucky Wildcats proved they deserved to be the number one overall seed in this year's NCAA tournament with an impressive 81-66 thumping of fellow Kentuckians, the Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky.
IU fans had a reason to cheer last night as the Hoosier's had an impressive showing with a 79-66 win over New Mexico State in their first trip back to the "Big Dance" in four years.
