SURFING THE TUBE.Byline: TOM HOFFARTH TODAY For $12.99 plus $3 shipping, composer David Barrett offers a personally signed copy of his CD, ``One Shining Moment,'' which CBS has recycled as its theme music to the NCAA basketball tournament every year since 1987.

College basketball: NCAA men's tournament final: Kansas vs. Syracuse, Channel 2, 6 p.m.; Baseball: Arizona at Dodgers, Fox Sports Net 2, 1 p.m. (replayed at 7 p.m.) TUESDAY Quipped Mavs coach Don Nelson after the Lakers tore up his team 100-89 last week in Dallas: ``I think they have their playoff posture in mind now.'' Maybe Dirk's boys get to see the Lakers posturing again tonight. Just don't get too comfy with any 20-plus-point leads in the fourth quarter. NBA: Dallas at Lakers, Fox Sports Net, 7:30 p.m.; Baseball: Arizona at Dodgers, Fox Sports Net 2, 7 p.m.; College basketball: NCAA women's tournament final: Tennessee/Duke vs. UConn/Texas, ESPN, 5:30 p.m. WEDNESDAY The run for the Stanley Cup begins tonight, and can anyone really bet against the Mighty Ducks after what happened last year to the Angels?

Thus, we present to you The Masters, uninterrupted, except for some minor protesting outside the gates.

But to win three in a row ... that's pretty sweet.'' Neat? Sweet? Those are the best adjectives the kid can come up with? Try epic, phenomenal, incomparable and just-plain spooky.
