Sure, I would be interested. I live in the Boston, Mass., USA area, and there are a number of basketball teams around here; some of them better than the Celtics! Well, maybe not, but there are four National Collegiate Athletic Association members in the city: the Boston College Eagles, the Boston University Terriers, the Northeastern University Huskies, and the Harvard University Crimson. BC is by far the best team, but if any of the other teams were having decent seasons, they could have all made the tournament. BC plays in the iconic Atlantic Coast Conference (or Awfully Conceited Conference as I call it), BU in the America East conference and will be hosting the first rounds of the America East tournament (but might not play in it), Northeastern in the Colonial Athletic Association (home to Final Four participant George Mason), and Harvard plays in the Ivy League. Also nearby are the University of Massachusetts Amherst Minutemen, a member of the Atlantic 10 conference; Big East conference members Providence College Friars and University of Connecticut Huskies; the College of the Holy Cross Crusaders, a member of the Patriot League; and additional America East members University of Vermont Catamounts, University of New Hampshire Wildcats, and the University of Maine Black Bears. These institutions are more famous for ice hockey, as are BU and Northeastern. My alma mater, Purdue University, is about 1600 kilometres away from here in West Lafayette, Ind., and competes in the Big Ten Conference. Nonetheless, I still follow Big Ten basketball. I could report on any of these, or discuss college basketball in general. I will send a private message as well discussing these intentions.
