March Madness at its best

April 1st, 2009

Here on the LiveCasts we have been keeping you up to date on all things NCAA Basketball – at least all things men’s basketball.

For the past couple of weeks myself as well as many of you have been following the men’s tourney and as we should. So much great basketball has been played and the Final Four is still yet to be happen.

In all this excitement over the men we have somehow forgotten about the women.

In fact Lady Sun Devils out of Arizona State University in our own backyard, made some waves of their own – making it to the Elite 8 without one of their stars who was injured in the Pac 10 Tournament.

They faced what appears to be an unbeatable Conneticut team last night and lost, but put forth a great effort.

And speaking of UConn, the women in their own right they are going for an undefeated season, averaging a margin of victory of 30 points. And the men’s team is still playing for a chance to take the title. A men’s and women’s title for the Huskies would be a great feat – (something they actually did back in 2004).

Gosh I do love college basketball, both the men’s and women’s program.

Stay tuned for our LiveCast updates on Friday of this week leading up to the big finale. And if your bracket is busted (as mine is) – there is always next year.
