Basketball & March Madness
March brings to many the knowledge that spring is not too far away but for hoop (basketball) fans it brings high school sectional play, this year a National College championship tournament for Sullivan County and the biggest stage of all the National March Madness NCAA Division 1 Tournament.
Wow......what a roller coaster ride it has been so this month as we sat back, took photos and enjoyed seeing the great talents of Tri-Valley's Jakki Pugh and the Lady Bears winning the Section Nine Class C championship and over in Livingston Manor having the opportunity to see the greatly multi-talented Marissa Diescher.
It was then on to Sullivan County Community College (SCCC) where for the first time in county hoop history an NJCAA Division III Men's Basketball National Championship was staged on March 10-12.
If you missed this great event I feel sorry for you because eight of the best NJCAA Division III Men's teams in the United States were on stage at the Paul Gerry Fieldhouse for three days of outstanding basketball and the host SCCC Generals placed third in the nation by winning March 12, 56-53 against Ocean County (N.J.)
Again kudos go out to the college's efforts along with the Sullivan County Visitors Association, Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce, the Villa Roma Resort and others who worked long and hard to bring this great sporting event to Sullivan County. This great national tournament will remain in Sullivan County for the next two years.
And now on to March Madness and the NCAA Tournament where for the first time every game will be available to a national TV audience (those with cable or satellite) and those days of relying on a producer in New York studio to switch us to the most intriguing game is over.
For the first week of the tournament four networks, CBS, TBS, TNT and TruTV will have games.
Another plus for viewers of this event is whatever network is assigned to a game they will stay with that game until the end.
Sit back hoop fans and enjoy it all......PS....don't call me and I'm not scheduling any out of the house away from my 48-inch TV screen engagements until after the championship game.
