It's basketball season?

It's hard getting into basketball when college football's national championship hasn't been decided and the NFL playoffs haven't started.

Well, the NFL playoffs start today and college football's bowl season ends - finally - on Monday night with the national championship game.

By the time we get into basketball around here, the season's half over - and that's a shame.

The NSU men are struggling. Tech showed a sign of life on Thursday with a rout of San Jose State. Centenary is better, but the Gents are still about a year or two away from making real noise.

Still, it's a shame that basketball gets overshadowed the way it does.
