March Madness

by Tom Gallagher on Mar. 09, 2010

It's finally here (and I'm not talking about the Catholic corproate craziness within the church). I'm talking about college basketball. It always seems to arrive just when we need it the most -- the middle of Lent. Naturally, Catholic colleges are among those vying to win it all, or at least get into the NCCA tournament and advance farther than they did last year.

Here's a quick selection of Catholic college basketball stories that have appeared today or yesterday:

St. Mary's Beats Gonzaga to Capture One of the Four NCAA Berths

Seton Hall's Bobby Gonzalez knows how to rub folks the wrong way

In the words of Dick Vitale, "Let the games begin, baaaaby!"
