March Madness Starts Today!

At least for me it does. ESPN and ESPN2 are giving center stage to the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association conference tournament.

If you are a fan of college hoops, you need to check out these games. The fans make a big party out of it and the players play their hearts out. One aspect of the intensity on the court is that, unlike the Big East, there won't be nine CIAA teams going to the NCAA tourney.

Chances are most of the schools are ones you've never heard of but most of the schools are more than 100 years old and the sports rivalries are almost as old.

That they are getting the spotlight in this way this week speaks to how good the games usually are.
