Crowds at New Hampshire high school basketball games has grown of the last several years, and with it has grown the concern that everyone in attendance is on his or her best behavior.

Big East basketball has a long way to go to earn the comparison to its football counterparts from a decade ago. But after last weekend, the conference certainly isn’t what it everything thought it was.
By all accounts, it was the most disappointing performance by any collection of teams in the first weekend of this year’s NCAA Tournament.
When you get five teams with a No. 3 seed or higher, most of them are supposed to survive beyond the first two rounds. Instead, only Syracuse – No. 1 in the West – and West Virginia – No. 2 in the East – are the only ones left standing as the tournament moves to the Sweet 16, starting Thursday.

OK, that’s not true. I haven’t been hiding for the last 10 days or so. I’d like to say I was busy with huge, important projects that left me with little time, but that’s not true.
I can’t even say I’ve been busy watching the Olympics, because that’s not true either. Outside of catching glimpses of the Opening Ceremony, I didn’t watch a minute. Does that make me un-American? Maybe. Did I care? Nope. Did I miss out? You tell me.
