One thing I've never accepted in my five years living up here is the long-held belief that everything is better in New York.
But there are plenty of things superior in the Big Apple than anywhere else, and one of them is a college basketball tournament.
I've attended some December ballgames at Madison Square Garden, where the atmosphere even for two out-of-state college teams playing in a pro town is pretty impressive.
