Tuesday night I get to cover my first ever college basketball game as a professional sports writer. That sounds pretty cool, at least to me.<\/p>\n
The team I’ll be covering made the D3 tournament last year, but is sitting at .500 so far this year. It’ll be a little easier than high school, since I won’t have to keep stats. But that means I’ll have to do a better job of finding the narrative within the game than I’ve been able to do on the high school side. I’ll be interested to see how quickly a D3 game is played. I’m hoping it’s a brisk pace, as our weeknight deadline is 10:15. I know a few of my readers can vouch for the quality of D3 ball. I’m looking forward to it.<\/p>\n
