Burlington's Grant Mullins is looking forward to March Madness in a couple of weeks.
But Mullins, and the rest of the men's basketball team at Columbia University, won't be in the NCAA tournament.
The Lions are 12-and-14 in the Ivy League this season, well behind the leaders.
But Mullins says "there's always next year" and they are excited to prepare for next season in the hopes of making the big dance.
Mullins, a freshman guard who's averaging 9 points a game this year, starred at Burlington Notre Dame high school.
His sister Misty is in her 3rd year playing guard at Harvard University.
And Grant's mother Theresa, won 154 straight games and 3 OFSAA championships at Bishop Ryan, and a national title at Bishop's.
