College basketball is back and I am hungry

That's me...hungry for basketball...

The return of college basketball is a joyous time to me. It is without a doubt my favorite sport to watch and watch I did last night. Shame on you if you missed the action.

The Champion's Classic, which started last night at 7:30 et and capped off ESPN's marathon of college hoops, was one of the greatest regular season events I have ever witnessed in basketball, or any sport for that matter. It pitted four of the five top-ranked teams in the country against each other as #1 Kentucky faced #2 Michigan State and #4 Duke played #5 Kansas. Neither game disappointed as MSU and KU each prevailed in their respective games.

Also on hand was a veritable buffet of basketball talent and I do love a good buffet. There was never a shortage of exciting play. It was like walking into Golden Corral on a Sunday morning where I could keep going back and back for more. It was tremendous.

The top three freshman coming into this year played last night on the same court in Andrew Wiggins (KU), Jabari Parker (Duke), and Julius Randle (UK). In the end they did not disappoint. They all had their struggles, but they all also took turns taking over their games at some point in time.
