Tourney Central 3/8/07
Central Connecticut State from the NEC is going dancing, and so is Weber State of the Big Sky. Both are double champions of their respective leagues, and both just plain rock.

Every exodus, ever since the first recorded exodus that comprises the second book of the Hebrew Bible, bears a storytelling signature of tripartite construction. Act I is the departure: an escape from violence or slavery or some other uninhabitable impossibility, a surrender of home.
Dribblings 12/6/2004 (LOL WTF Edition)
Metro Atlantic: Loyola (Md.) 97, Niagara 89 (story) - Bottom beat top in the MAAC. Shane James, a member of the Canadian junior national team, went 9-for-9 to lead Loyola, who outshot the Purple Eagles 55%-39% and scored 37 of their points on 58 free throws. LMAO!
MMBOD Dec 31 - Andre Collins - Loyola (Md.)
Reaganomics may not have helped the little guy very much, but there's a trickle-down effect in college basketball that works pretty well. At Maryland, Andre Collins was picked up as a backup for Steve Blake and spent a lot of time buried on the bench, but at Loyola (Md.) he's a star, showing up on the national PPG leaderboard. Talk about supply-side basketball.
