March Madness Mania

You know it’s March Madness in North Carolina when you turn on your radio on a Friday and the five stations that normally carry Rush Limbaugh are all broadcasting basketball games instead. I was at a bar in Raleigh on Thursday when Virginia squeezed out its 60 to 56 victory over Virginia Tech. All throughout the area yesterday people were enthralled with following either the Wake Forest versus NC State game (Wake Forest won in an upset), the Duke versus Miami game (Duke won), or the Virginia versus Carolina game (Carolina won).

Today’s big games were Duke versus Wake Forest (Duke won) and currently the Boston College versus Carolina game. Carolina is currently leading by 5. It would be great if we win because the winner gets to play Duke tomorrow at 12:30. This series of basketball games is a nice distraction from Mod IV which begins promptly Monday at 9:30.
