I LOVE COLLEGE BASKETBALL
It's Thursday and dammit, it's not just any Thursday.
Tonight on Fox Sports Net, Washington will take on Arizona in Tucson. Who knew that there would be a period of time when the Huskies are ranked ahead of the Wildcats? Washington is ranked 10th in both polls and Arizona is right behind them at #11 in both polls.
But tonight's Washington-Arizona showdown has got me so fired up that I need to post a list of reasons why I love college basketball. In my list, I'll have players, teams, arenas, media members, etc. Past and present items will be included. For instance, I prefer Maryland's Cole Fieldhouse over the new Comcast Center.
Anyways, the list.
