I''m a Niagara Falls native who grew up rooting for Syracuse, but spent most of his childhood in Florida and ended up at UF. Despite my BCS ties, I love the mid-majors as well. College basketball is my game (with Olympic sports a close second, and football right behind), and I'm happy to serve as the resident bracketologist and an NCAA Basketball editor and all-around contributor at SBN.
