College basketball tips off, gets crazy already

Grand Valley State, a Division II school from Allendale, Mich., knocked off Michigan State 85-82 in double overtime on Nov. 2.

Findlay, a Division II school in Ohio, shocked Ohio State 70-68 on Tuesday.

Wednesday night, Gardner-Webb upset Kentucky at Rupp Arena in a game that, unlike the aforementioned exhibitions, counted toward their overall records.

Check your calendars. It’s not March, but the madness has already begun in college basketball.

It should be another thrilling season on the hardwood. Hopefully the unpredictability will rival college football this fall.

Maybe there’s another Cinderella out there like George Mason.
