The Little Dances: Day 4

Sorry if we haven't been as up-to-date with the Little Dances as we should have been.

As you can imagine, we have had our eyeballs glued to CBS for the past 100 hours. But this break in March Madness action would be an applicable time to inform you of the other tournaments going on. After all, some of the kids playing this week do deserve to be playing post-season basketball.

One interesting tidbit about the College Basketball Invitational: The championship is a best-of-three series.

Can you imagine a Kansas/Kentucky best-of-three for the National Championship?

Neither can I. Thank you very much Northern Iowa.

But still, a best-of-three series would be a neat idea. But I guess I should wait in line. The NCAA already has it's hands full with another "neat" idea.

Here is where we stand after Monday's action:
