Now that the Steelers have been anointed the crown of Super Bowl Forty, it is time for you gridiron fans to turn your attention to the hard-court and that would mean college basketball.
Presently the Connecticut Huskies are ranked number one and they looked worthy of the ranking on Saturday when they wet to Indiana and spanked the Hoosiers. This club is so deep that they have two seniors in Anderson and Brown that are reserves, yet they could start for any team in the country!
Before we can get to the final 64 or should I say 65 as the last two teams picked on Selection Sunday must play a sudden death game to get in the dance, we must checkout some lesser known schools.
On February 17th and 18th the NCAA will present "Bracket Buster Weekend" where 26 teams will play in 13 games on ESPN, to help the selection committee for March Madness, to sort out the pretenders and the contenders.
You may want to take a close look at Northern Iowa as they are the real deal and most likely will knock off a more heralded team in the first round of the tournament in March!

Bucknell at Northern Iowa
The expected match-up came about with Bucknell taking a trip to the UNI-Dome. This will be the premier game for BracketBusters and should provide some amusement. Northern Iowa is all but in the NCAA Tournament, while Bucknell needs to avoid bad losses in order to earn an at-large berth. A road loss at a top 25 team won't hurt the Bison too much, but a win there would be huge.
George Mason at Wichita State
The Patriots are on fire, however this will be a tough game. It will be an exciting frontcourt match-up between Jai Lewis and Will Thomas of George Mason and Paul Miller and Kyle Wilson of Wichita State. The Shockers only home loss this season has come at the hands of Northern Iowa and George Mason isn't quite in that class.
Louisiana Tech at Southern Illinois
There isn't a Paul Millsap in the Missouri Valley. The 6-8 forward will bring his 20.7 points and 12.7 rebounds to Southern Illinois. If the Salukis can contain Millsap, especially on the glass, the home winning streak will continue.
Fresno State at Creighton
Yeah, it's a bad draw for Creighton. Fresno State is 10-8, 3-4 in conference, soon to be 4-4 and well, Creighton is actually good. This one might be over pretty quick, but Fresno State has a couple talented players in Quinton Hosley and Ja'Vance Coleman that are worth watching. And if you haven't seen Creighton lately, they are always worth a look or two before you start filling in those brackets.
Missouri State and Wisconsin Milwaukee
Missouri Valley, Missouri Valley, Missouri Valley. If you haven't had a chance to see much of the MVC, BracketBusters weekend will be your chance. The five teams that are still dreaming of NCAA bids will be on TV. Missouri State has been on a slide lately and they will have to get things together before taking a tough road trip to Milwaukee. The Panthers could dash any hopes Missouri State may have left, and start thinking about an at-large themselves.
Buffalo at Iona
If anybody can stop the Iona backcourt of Steve Burtt, Jr. and Ricky Soliver, this will turn out to be a great game. Buffalo has plenty of weapons, led by guard Calvin Cage and big man Yassin Idbihi, to keep the Bulls in it. Many of the games look like blowouts due to the top heavy home sides, but this isn't one of them.
Butler at Kent State
Butler hasn't done much to deserve a televised game, but the friendly ghosts of the past made this game happen. We have ourselves two teams that have made Cinderella runs in that not so distant past. Kent has been extremely strong in MAC play and will be the favorite in this one.
Akron at Nevada
Now here's a fun game. Akron is quietly posting a 15-4 record, 8-1 in the MAC. None of the wins are that impressive, but none of the losses are bad (at California, at Louisville, vs. Clemson and at Ohio). Nevada and Nick Fazekas will be too much for the Zips, but if it was in Akron, it would be another story.
Northwestern State at Utah State
The Demons finally get a chance to show off their stuff. Unfortunately, they have to do it in one of the most unfriendly confines west of the mighty Mississippi. Even with a loss at the hands of the Aggies, it is great exposure for Northwestern State.
Marist at Old Dominion
Marist might be under the radar, but the starting five has enough power to knock off ODU. The bench depth is an issue, but if Alex Loughton and the Monarchs take one off their days off, the Red Foxes could chalk up a huge win for the Metro Atlantic.
Northern Arizona at Western Kentucky
Anthony Winchester and Courtney Lee won't let the Hilltoppers lose to Northern Arizona. The Lumberjacks have won nine in a row and are 7-0 in Big Sky, but they are lucky to be televised and definitely benefited from the weak teams on the away side of the bracket.
Samford at Ohio
Ohio and Leon Williams have lost all consistency over the last couple weeks. Enter surprise OVC leader Samford and we could have a surprisingly close game. If Ohio has a good day, Samford won't last long, but J. Robert Merritt and Randall Gulina will have something to say about that.
Albany at VCU
Albany, the preseason favorite in the America East, had a slow start before winning 10 of their last 12. VCU and the Colonial Athletic Association could use every win they can get, and VCU just doesn't lose at home.
