I've played sports as long as could walk, and haven't stopped yet. I'm involved with the athletic department at SIU and love college athletics. I'm a huge fan of the Chicago Cubs, and the Chicago Bears, but college basketball is where I spend most of my time these days. Does this make me an "expert?" Not at all, but I have a few opinions on some topics!
