Yes, for most, March Madness means great men's basketball. And that's absolutely correct. But it also means great women's basketball. If you live in the Philadelphia area, you may get to see local favorites play, like Penn State or Princeton or powerhouses UConn (coached by Geno Auriemma, local guy) or Tennessee (coached by the legend, Pat Summit). One of the four women's regional tournaments (Sweet 16) will be held here in Philadelphia.
The Temple University Liacouras Center will be jumpin' on Sunday, March 27nd and Tuesday, March 29th. Tickets are still available but this tournament will surely sell out. Not sure? Check out the NCAA Women's Bracket to help you decide. The tickets are only $32 for Sunday and, remember, that's for two games! Pay $57 and that includes Tuesday's game. (Student tickets are cheaper.)
If you're worried that you'll miss a men's game, they're not playing on the 29th. OK, so they are playing on the 27th, but you won't catch them live in Philly. For live March Madness, see you at Temple University!
Addendum: The games featured UConn vs. Georgetown and Duke vs. DePaul. The first game was really exciting. I was hoping for a UConn loss but they squeaked out a win. The latter game was very poorly played. Didn't look like Division 1 Basketball. The game turned out to be closer than I thought it would have. Duke prevailed.
