March Madness

Posted in Sports at 3:02 pm by Administrator

March is full of me watching basketball, from high school to College.  This past weekend I went to the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament Championship Game between SIU and Creighton.  Pretty good game but SIU’s offense could not keep up with Creighton.  Faulker was also sick and it showed in the game as he was calling to come out and he also air balled a free throw.

This next weekend the 15th through the 18th  I will be heading to Peoria to watch the Class AA High School Boy’s Basketball Tournament.  Always a good time in Peoria…. cough, cough(Big Als, Par-a-Dice Casino), cough, cough. 

I am a little disappointed in that a few teams that i wanted to make it have already lost.  I was hoping a team from around my area would make it, but they pretty much all lost.  I was also hoping I would get to see Michael Jordans 2 boys play.  They play for Loyola Academy but they already got beat.   

Oh well, I put in for a Media Pass to the State Tournament so hopefully i will be getting that and will have some pretty good seats, so that www.JerseyvilleSports.com can cover the game.
