College Basketball is Back

As college basketball kicks off tonight, I can't help but think of the crazy moments, as well as the head-scratching moments, of the past. Like, how did Kentucky not win it all with John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Eric Bledsoe on the same team? And, the same goes for that UCLA squad with Kevin Love, Russell Westbrook and Darren Collision.

The truth is, college basketball is so unpredictable that anything can truly happen in March. Isn't that why we watch? It's the unimaginable madness, those diaper dandies and that "One Shining Moment" song sung by Jennifer Hudson (Okay, maybe not that) that keeps us glued to our seats.

But, forget March for now. The college hoops regular season is upon us, and the long journey begins. Despite a 2014 NBA Draft regarded by some experts as one that will go down as one of the best in history, there are plenty of returning star athletes and story lines to keep us interested. Can Sean Miller finally reach a Final Four with Arizona? Will Kentucky, loaded with recruits and the return of the Harrison brothers, win it all? Can Wisconsin break through with most of their team returning, and will they have to go through Arizona in another epic game to do so? Will other traditional powerhouses like Kansas, Duke or North Carolina make another run?

All these questions and more will be answered in the ensuing 5 months. In case you want to jump the gun and relive the best March moments, I suggest clicking on this website, one of the best and little known ones on the planet. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy the ride. It should be another insane roller coaster.
