Another year of college basketball is approaching its crescendo, with the NCAA tournament just days away. For the third consecutive year, Philadelphia will be without a men’s basketball team to represent the city during March Madness.

March Madness kicks off this week, and while some of the biggest Pa. schools like Villanova, Pitt, Penn State and Temple aren’t dancing, there’s still plenty of Keystone State flavor.

McNeese Cowboys will be playing in the Midwest Region as the No. 12 seed against the No. 5 seed Clemson Tigers at 2:15 p.m. on Thursday in Providence, Rhode Island.
