It’s a busy weekend for college basketball as the Conference Tournaments lead to Selection Sunday. The major conferences are all in action this weekend and they will give fans plenty of action to watch. And by 7 p.m. Sunday, fans will debate which team deserved to get in and which team did not.

It's the Tuesday Link Thing

Time to give you the links today. I’m still a bit melancholy about the demise of the Score. I think it’s due to the fact that I know a lot of the staff. When you hear about a radio station changing formats, you know that people have lost jobs. However, when the change comes at […]
