#67/341 - Delaware State Hornets
I lived in Delaware for a few years and let me tell you, when Delaware State finally found their way out of the MEAC Tournament and into the NCAA's, no one even noticed or cared. But I remember that selection Sunday when they were paired with #1 seed Duke. I remember praying to the basketball gods that if there were ever a 16/1 upset. I remember Duke jumping out to a 10-point lead early, and I remember the Hornets crawling back to take a 20-18 lead midway through the first half. That would be as close as they came. But that brief moment stayed with me.
