Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!!!!!!! Wear some green and watch some college basketball – as the stakes could not be higher for at least 3 of the remaining 5 games of the season.

The festivities start off at Noon on ESPN2 as the Ivy League championship in New York will have Yale (21-9) see if they can knock off the surging Brown (13-17) – who yesterday ended 24-4 Princeton’s season.

At 1 pm on ESPN, we move to the SEC Final in Nashville, as #12 Auburn (26-7) as the last remaining SEC team who got a double bye will try to hold off a red-hot Florida (24-10) team.

If you want to watch win or go home games instead at 1 pm, tune in to CBS for the Atlantic 10 Final in Brooklyn, where the local VCU Rams (22-12) will be playing against Duquesne (23-11) – the ones who knocked off Dayton, the only ranked A-10 team.

At 3:15 pm on ESPN, we head to Fort Worth for the American championship. UAB (22-11) will try to stop the run from Temple (16-19) – who Saturday knocked off Florida Atlantic.

At 3:30 pm on CBS, the season ends with the Big 10 Championship in Minneapolis as #13 Illinois (25-8) will try to beat Wisconsin (22-12) – who are very difficult to beat when they are playing defense like they have all throughout the Big 10 Tournament.

And then after the Big 10 Tournament, stay tuned in to CBS to watch the NCAA Tournament Selection Show, as we get to finally figure out what 68 teams will have made the tournament. It should be a fun day of basketball.

So, put on some green clothes, grab a Guinness, eat some corned beef and cabbage, and watch some great basketball!!!! Actually, I am not much of a beer drinker – or a corned beef and cabbage fan. So, maybe just put on some green clothes and watch basketball!!!! That will work as well!!!
