Profile: My name is Matt Norlander and I have an offensive love for college basketball. I attended Western Connecticut State University and went to school for journalism. After attempting to write for small, local newspapers, I began blogging on usatoday.com, where I knew I'd eventually be sucked in by the Blogging Universe. Now, I am obligated to satiate my desire to write what I care for the most: the beautiful game of college basketball.
