I am such a sports geek, I don’t know what I am more jacked up about: NCAA Tournament Final Four or WrestleMania Sunday night.

Monday, April 2
College basketball (7-10:30 p.m. CBS): Last year’s Men’s Basketball Championship Game was a snoozer, but this is a new year and a new hope for a good game.

Tuesday, April 3
College Basketball (7:30-10 p.m. ESPN): And speaking of last year, the Women’s Basketball Championship Game blew the men’s game out of the water. My fingers are crossed to make this a second year in a row.

Yes, I love watching wrestling, and I can’t wait to see the Rock against John Cena but, more importantly, it’s the Undertaker against Triple H with Shawn Michaels as special quest referee on April 1.
