The best NCAA Tournament game in town (Soft Pretzel Logic)

The best NCAA Tournament game in town

Well, you've probably seen this on the front of Philly.com by now, but just in case: we're running a really big NCAA Tournament pick'em game on the site. And of course, I want you all to play.

Among other things, you can win a 50-inch plasma TV from Bob & Ron's Worldwide Stereo, which graciously paid a pretty good chunk of change to sponsor the thing. So it'd make thing look real good if you played, if you know what I mean...

On top of that, I'm in the process of setting up another game within our site that you can play. In addition to winning the TV, you'll also be able to play a Beat the Experts game where you can pick against me and writers from the Inquirer and Daily News.

I'll let you know as soon as that game is set up, but I wanted to get word out now because the ads are up. And also because I know you all are going to play on ESPN, Yahoo, Facebook and everywhere else. Well, I hope you'll throw your picks into Philly.com's game as well.

Stay tuned.

The best NCAA tournament game in town takes place this Friday night at 8:00 at Ursinus College where the 25-2 Ursinus Bears, Centennial Conference champions with a 20-0 league record, take on Baptist Bible College in an opening round Division III NCAA Tournament game.

$6.00 for adults, $3.00 for kids - to see an NCAA game cheaper you'd have to be playing in it.

I fell in love with the Big 5 at first sight upon moving to Philadelphia in 2002. At various points in my journalistic career, I've covered all six of the region's Division I teams. During that time, I've eaten many soft pretzels from the Palestra's concession stands, which is how this blog got its name.

In addition to the blog, I host and produce the Inquirer's College HoopsCast. It's a weekly podcast that features all the latest news and analysis from around local and national college basketball. Regular guests include Inquirer writers Mike Jensen, Joe Juliano and Mel Greenberg.

I also occasionally contribute to the Inquirer's women's basketball weblog, Women's Hoops Guru. If you've come here from there, this blog deals mostly with the men's side of things, though I do write about women's basketball and other sports when they fit in.

When not focusing on college hoops, I host and produce the Inquirer's PhilliesCast with Phillies beat writer Todd Zolecki, and can occasionally be found behind the camera shooting videos of the Eagles, other professional sports teams and the tiger cubs at the zoo.

One of the great things about City Series basketball, and college basketball as a whole, is its sense of community. So I want to hear from you. Post a comment or send me an email by clicking on my name above. But don't be profane, and don't post hate speech. I'm sure you'd like to take a shot at that commenter on the opposite side of a rivalry from you, or say something nasty about a team you don't like. But this blog isn't the place for it. Thanks.
