'Tis fast approaching the high holy days of Basketball

[rurallib]

Places of worship will soon be over run with congregations and practitioners of the ancient arts.
Practitioners will attempt to put the sacrificial ball into the holy hoop as those who support their quest for the blessed hardware pray fervently for a positive outcome.
Join us as we see who shall reign supreme over the land.
Amen.

My husband and I love the conference tournaments. Sometimes more exciting than the Big Dance.

3. I loves me some March Madness.

I don't even care who's playing. The games are so fun to watch.

[elleng]

4. Me too, and I have NO IDEA who's playing!

Have had dogs in the fight a number of times, but none now. STILL wanna watch!!!

5. Oh shit, there's one restaurant I won't be going to for a while.

Now that it might finally get warm enough to feel like going out.

6. Who's putting together the DU pool on yahoo this year?

I missed out on it last year.

7. Oh yeah... my favorite time of the year

I live and die for college hoops. I think that this season officiating has sucked (at least in the ACC): very uneven, some rules are enforced at times but not always, the traveling rule is not being enforced on some players at all (I can think of one in particular, who often travels but hardly ever gets called and everyONE in the ACC knows who he is... rhymes with Filer Tansborough).

:hide:

9. Yeah... in NC, the ACC Tournament is a religious experience...

In both a public and a private high school i went to in the 80's, we had classes preempted for first-round games...
We still had to go to school, mind you, but all we did was watch basketball in the afternoons on Thursday and Friday.

11. In what language does Tommy Amaker rhyme with Filer Tansborough?

[Roon]

8. My boyfriend LOVES basket ball

I can only watch it if I am with him...

10. Are you ready for forty minutes of hell?

Are you ready for the fastest forty minutes on the hardwood?

If you're going to the Big Dance, you damn well better be, because Missouri is coming to town. You can't stop them, you can only hope to slow them down.

Our latest victim, number five Oklahoma, we handed them a nine point loss last night.

You better get ready, we're baaack.
