March Madness

I know I have been away, but with UConn Spring practice next week the blog will be back in full force.

Anyhow, March Madness had to be coined by a sportswriter. It's been hoops for me at all levels for the last two weeks it's driving me batty. Pro, college, small college, high school. I am Hoops Silver for March.

UConn men and women, CCSU men, UHart women and men!. Even Sacred Heart is primed for a run.

It would be nice to see the Pioneers win tonight. I have known Sacred Heart assistant Johnny Kidd since I was in middle school and know Anthony Latina, another assistant, pretty well in my years covering Central Connecticut. Of course, it looks like Sacred Heart is locking down CT players. They have Windsor's Ryan LItke and Middletown's Chauncey Hardy on the roster and are brining in four more players from Connecticut this year. They better be good because CCSU is loaded with young talent.

If you are in the neighborhood, go to see tonight's Windsor-Trinity Catholic Class LL semifinal at the New Haven Athletic Center. Windsor hasn't played well in the tournament yet but has had double digit leads on every team it has played. Trinity Catholic is probably the states biggest power in hoops the last 10 years.

This much is simple, if Windsor plays well, I don't think they can be beat. Why you may ask? Ask Class L Finalist Maloney, which beat New London and Florida bound Alan Chaney by 22 points on Tuesday. Windsor beat Maloney by 40 in the CCC semifinals. The scary part is Windsor took the peddle off, they could have won by 60.

Windsor better have its "A" game though. Trinity is as good as it gets.

Add to that the Big East tournament is a must watch for me and Hoops Silver is hoops heaven.

Even did a swimming meet On Tuesday. Talk about a fish out of water...

I'll recap Windsor tonight for those that like this stuff (I love high school hoops personally).
