Wisconsin College Hoops Bonanza!
Friday, June 16th, 2006Mighty Gosling pointed me to this article this morning about the new contracts Marquette signed with UWM and UWGB to play some basketball. Very exciting, although it would have been much more exciting if MU and UWM had squared off each of the last 3 years. I guess MU wanted to keep that unblemished 34-0 record versus the Panthers. In light of this news, I say they should just take the logical step of making a Wisconsin Hoops Showcase even each year. Take the four NCAA Division 1 basketball programs and put them in a tournament every year. Think of the ratings, the ticket sales, the tremendous state interest it would generate! It may help keep Wisconsin players in Wisconsin as well, if they had the chance to play in something like that. I know it is a pipe dream, but hey…even pipes can dream.
