A Little Summer Madness For Your Basketball Jones
Posted by rtmsf on July 16th, 2010It’s the middle of summer and hotter than hell pretty much everywhere, and college basketball feels a long way away. Luckily, CBS College Sports has realized that some of us will watch great college hoops year-round if given the opportunity, and they’re using the next couple of weeks to replay the entire 2010 NCAA Tournament for people of our ilk. They started this feature last week, but there are still plenty of great games on tap. Here’s a taste of some of when some of the better games will be on — set your Tivo accordingly… (although make sure to check the complete listings because most of these games and many others are televised multiple times over the next week).
Um, Why Does Summer Madness Have a Football Field in the Background?

Thank heavens! More basketball. And, as a lifelong Duke fan, I could watch this tournament over and over, no problem. I miss basketball so much. And I have a problem with any sport where a score of 1-3 constitutes a blowout. Bring on the basketball!
