March Madness 2012

March Madness is on its way!  Selection Sunday for the 2012 NCAA Tournament is next Sunday, March 11th (and don’t forget to put your clocks ahead an hour, too).

But we can’t wait at Sports List of the Day for a good college basketball post.

Here are the top 20 schools with the most NCAA appearances.  The Kentucky Wildcats have the most, with 51 (and also have the most regular season wins all time too).  And guess what? Kentucky’s going again this year and they just finished the season ranked No. 1.
