Be sure to get in on the Hoop Time Bracket Challenge. We will have details when the brackets are announced, but basically it will be a free, friendly little online pool for entertainment and bragging rights only.

Think of it as your chance to claim the title of the smartest fan from the smartest league in all of D-I.

The setup will also offer you an option to enter your bracket in an "open" contest run by the same folks with a $250 cash prize.

We can't match the prize money, but we might be able to come up with some sort of token prize. How does a slightly used league media guide sound? Maybe we will even spring for a T-shirt.

Be sure to check back Sunday night or Monday morning for details on how to enter.
