NCAA Basketball Tourney 2014!

[searsa1]

I know the great majority of you are British on here. It is time for March Madness. 68 teams will play for the national title in college basketball. All of the schools would be referred to as University in the UK. College and University are interchangeable terms in the States. I will open this up to questions and observations. My university is not eligible for the tournament this year.

Not a lot of love for basketball over here Aaron and support for school/college fixtures doesn't go much beyond the family circle. Soccer, rugby and cricket are too firmly entrenched in the British way of life.

Yeah, I quite literally know next to nothing about basketball (like 99% of the UK) and that's the NBA never mind college sports.

It's generally associated with the girls sport of Netball here, as Boringball (Sorry Baseball) is associated with rounders.

From what I have seen of Basketball though it looks to be quite dynamic and fast paced, which is always a good thing for a sport. I could possibly get into it, given some time.

Now Ice Hockey...... That's how you turn a girls sport into a mans one!

Are you sure? They've just signed their first professional girl goalie.

Well done them..... If she's anything like my Mrs she will be the best goalie in the league.... Seen as nothing gets past her!

I used to play a lot of basketball with my mates when I was at school but never really watched it. But you did just remind me of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-f2liKgy0A so thanks man!

My interest in basketball began and ended with watching the Harlem Globetrotters cartoon series on TV
