Waiting for the NCAA Tournament Selection Show on Sunday, I flipped channels but focused primarily on the Atlantic-10 championship. I was pulling for the Saint Louis Billikens against St. Bonaventure. I was pulling for Travis Ford.
And danged if the Billikens didn’t come through, beating the Bonnies 55-53 to make the NCAA Tournament.
But my channel surfing also sent me across a game, and good fortune allowed me to sweep across the Southland Conference women’s championship game at exactly the right time. Normally, I wouldn’t even have waited to see that Abilene Christian was playing Texas-Corpus Christi, but I went past the game at precisely the time the announcers mentioned the Abilene Christian coach.
