More specifically, I guess I should say I love college basketball and football. There have been some basketball and bowl games this year that have been nothing short of amazing. In fact, there were only two bowl games on yesterday, but the ending of the Indiana/Tennessee game made it feel like an epic event.
Imagine coming back from behind to win by one point with less than five minutes left in the game. The tenacity of the athletes at this level and their willingness to leave it all on the field or court is part of the reason I love college sports.
If you don't count the college football championship, there are only three bowl games left to play this year. While none of them are epic match-ups, it makes me a little sad that there are only three left. I remember at the beginning of the bowl season I wrote a post about how everybody and their brother seems to have a bowl game.
It is bowl seasons like this that remind me why I love those games so much and makes me feel like they need more of them as opposed to less.
It was another exciting night of college basketball. As I mentioned before, I feel like there have been more upsets of ranked opponents this year than any of the past years that I can remember.
Unranked Colorado took down #4 Oregon with a nine point victory. Gonzaga will remain in the number 1 spot with a win over Portland. Most importantly, my Spartans had a blow out victory over Illinois. Hopefully that momentum will carry them into this weekend when they face off against in state rival Michigan on Sunday.
Tonight Wisconsin is facing off against Ohio State at Ohio State. It should be a pretty easy victory for the #5 ranked Buckeyes, but crazier things have happened in the first few months of this season!
