Pittsburgh Finishes off West Virginia With Buzzer-Beating Three

Pittsburgh has provided what will probably be recalled as the first of many last-second, game-winning long-bombs in the 2007-’08 college basketball season. Although this is hardly March, and the tournaments are a long ways away, when you were watching the Pittsburgh-West Virginia game last night, you had to get a little bit pumped for the NCAA Tournament, right? These were two Big East teams trying to get to the top of a very large pack of good, tournament-hopeful Big East teams. It was the middle of the so-called “Rivalry Week,” and there was a certain amount of urgency in the air. Check out the highlight video at ESPN.com.

The Final Four Blog is officially declaring “It’s on!” As the buzzer rang and the game winner swished through the net, the official start of Madness has begun at this blog. You can call it February Madness if you want. It would be crazy to name something that title anyways, right? But that’s the point! You’ve got to start thinking crazy to get crazy, and the Pittsburgh-WVU game as started the process over here on our curve of the blogosphere. We need something to get excited about now that the Super Bowl is done.
