    Esperando Marzo • NCAA BASKETBALL REVIEW • TEMPORADA 2017/18 • El vertiginoso, explosivo e impredecible baloncesto universitario norteamericano aterriza un año más en este mes de noviembre. Mucho tiempo de ardua espera para escasos cinco meses de intensa actividad, de despropósitos, de lágrimas y de euforia, de magia y de cenicientas. Una competición especial, distinta a cualquier otra. Que esta humilde publicación sirva para que los aficionados más nobeles se enganchen definitivamente a ella, y los que ya llevamos muchos años de nuestra vida consumiéndola, la disfrutemos como si fuera la primera vez. Lean y disfruten, que empieza la locura.
