i It's showtime! Indiana to The invitations have been given out, anil tiie dance partners have been chosen. No, we aren't talking about some sorority semi-formal. We are talking about I III: Dance. The ^Al NCAA basketball tournament. Call it "March Madness," or SALOMC ) whatever you like ... but TONY S ladies and gentlemen ... "Let's ? Gel Ready to Rumble!!!" Before we get into the details, we'd like to talk about some of the unfortunate teams who will be watching from the climatecontrolled comfort of their living rooms. How in the world does a team go 21-7 and rank in the top 25 for most of the season not get a bid to the tournament? It's easy if you're IJNLV. Apparently, the University of No Legal Virtues has tried to slip through the NCAA regulation's cracks one too many times, and the NCAA felt it . was time to get even. No matter, this team * deserved a bid, and they got the shaft instead. So. we net to see Rider University. but noi UNLV stud J.R. Rider. Great. Other teams whose mailboxes gathered nothing but cobwebs on Sunday: Minnesota, Providence and Oklahoma. Southern University, East Carolina, Tennessee State and Wright State? Is this the Division II Crew Championships? For your information, ECU is the first team with a losing record (13-16) since... anyone?... Montana Slate in 1986 to make the ) tournament. Don't expect many of these teams to do much besides rack up on frequent flyer miles. There are always a few surprises in the tourney, however. Who could the Richmond Spiders of 1993 be? Well. Coppin State HAS won 16 games in a row coining into the "dance." The bad news is they play Cincinnati. Ball State always is competition for someone (Sweet 16 in 1991).... They play Kansas. Then there are always the teams that play against such no-brain teams such as Arizona, Florida ) State and Illinois .... Santa Clara, Evansville and Long Beach State are those respective teams. OK, so let's take apart the tournament Region-by-Region, shall we? Starting in the Southeast, Kentucky, Wake Forest, Seton Hall and Iowa should escape the first round without much trouble.

In one of the tougher regions to call, you've got Iowa J State/UCLA and Temple/Missouri in the opening round. Georgia Tech (coming in red hot), Vanderbilt and Arizona will advance along with Michigan at least lor one day. Southern U. and Boise State (who?) get an extended spring break.
