A Kentucky college basketball tournament would be great. Let's plan it

Western Kentucky basketball coach Rick Stansbury has an idea, and I like it.

"I wish we could come up with some kind of tournament," he said Monday night. "... How we could get Kentucky and Louisville, ourself and another school in a tournament somewhere. It'd be great for everybody."

It'd especially be great for college basketball fans and local sponsors in the commonwealth. Think about it: Kentucky's college basketball programs come together for some kind of statewide competition in a similar mold as the Crossroads Classic held every year in Indianapolis, and let the good times roll.
