The Big Ten Conference held its tournament championship a week early this year, giving that conference's teams an instant advantage when preparing for the national tourney next week. Teams such as Michigan and Purdue will have extra days of rest in preparation, as will the teams from the mid-majors who have historically produced their champions a week earlier than the majors.
Oregon had an abysmally inconsistent year, so my Ducks won't be in the national picture after making it to the Final Four last season.
That is, unless the Ducks do the improbable and win the PAC championship by winning four more beginning on Wed.
Whatever, despite the obvious corruption that rules college ball these days, I'll take in as many games as I can until boredom blocks me.
I'm as ready as I can be, with a slate of games starting tonight and running through Sunday's Selection Day announcements.
Meanwhile, the Oregon women's team has nailed the PAC championship by routing perennial power Stanford.
There are a handful of teams nationally that are better than Oregon, including U Conn, but maybe the women can get to the final?
