Get ready for even more madness! It's time for basketball coach speak. I will explain that in a moment. After a crazy four day weekend we are down to the sweet 16 in the men's NCAA basketball tournament. Some of the teams are traditional Blue Bloods while others may be considered a Cinderella. Either way we will see how well you know the 16 remaining coaches in the tournament. Some are household names. Some are not. So today, we will do sweet 16 college basketball coaches trivia during Wiki-Pete-ia on the Shemon and Sheppard Show on ESPN Southwest Florida.
The annual college basketball tournament is tricky to predict. Since it is single-elimination and spread over three weeks, a great team can go cold and a team that isn't great can get hot. Anything can happen and it usually does. By the way, this is where I take a dig at Purdue for suffering the greatest upset loss in the history of the tournament by losing to 16 seed Fairleigh Dickinson.
