Niagara is first win of the tourney

Congrats to the Purple Eagles of Niagara...in their 12th consecutive victory, they held off Florida A & M to make it to the tourney. I know nothing about them, but my friend's dad (Dr. LaBarber) was an alum, and he used to take us to Vesuvio's Pizza in Santa Clara in his Buick that had a Niagara sticker in the window. Oh, and Calvin Murphy is their greatest alum (as far as hoops go). As a bracketologist, I should know more - they are 23-11 for the season, and they're going up against powerhouse Kansas, so no on really cares. But it is worth noting that the boys from the house of Phog have been upset early in the previous two tournaments. It's also worth noting that they hired Dayton's band to play for them in last night's game. There's no other sporting event where somthing like that could happen. Enjoy it kids, because some day Comcast will own the tourney and they'll ruin it with half-time shows.
