Conference Notes

The Onion: NCAA Expands March Madness to Include 4,096 Teams

Things are getting serious with conference tournament action and the build-up to next Sunday’s NCAA Selection Show.  I know we here at Hoopville have been toiling with bracket scenarios and the latest in Championship Week upsets.

Leave it to The Onion to provide a fresh perspective on things. Such as “June Madness.” Or the all-important 637-678 seed matchup. The expanded field will include teams that “couldn’t get over that 5-win hump.”

Who are some sleepers in the tournament?  Onion Sports college basketball analyst Joe Monticello likes Eckherd.  “Watch out for Eckhard – they have a full roster, AND they’ve been having practices.”

Monticello also indicates that “Cosmetics schools could tear up the court.”

But even with the expanded field, there are some teams on the outside looking in.  The Oxnard California Advanced Truck Driving School didn’t get their application in on time, and will be the 4,097th in a field of 4,096.

Hope you enjoyed that. Now back to Championship Week.
