As the professionals leave the basketball court behind for the courtroom, there are 24 straight hours of college ball that begin tonight at midnight for all the hoops junkies out there.  Seriously though, if you’re tuning in to CS-Northridge/Hawaii at 4 AM you are either a hugely dedicated hoops fan, have serious sleep deprivation issues, or you’re already up watching old episodes of Cheaters.  With all the great players that had the prescience not to turn pro, this could turn out to be one of the best college basketball seasons in many years.  The highlight game on Tuesday night might be Coach K going for the wins record with Bobby Knight in the house (that should be fun) in NYC.  But, Kansas-Kentucky and Florida-OSU may be two of the better games we’ll see all season.  Several tournaments all over the country tip off later this week as well.
