No, it’s not. But Conference play is set to kick into high gear, with a few non-BCS type games still to play out. So if you’re getting mad for March Madness do what I do…and pull out your “March Madness 08″ game.

EA’s March Madness game delivers hours of hoops goodness. There are more arenas, the gameplay is smooth, controls respond quickly, and the graphics look good (the players are top-notch and they can move real fast!) – all you have to do is put the thing in and start shooting those 3’s.

I know it’s not the real thing but the New Year is just getting underway and March is still…well, simple math tells you that you’re going to have to hang onto that blank bracket for another two months. Be strong. It will be well worth the wait.
