What do we know about the College of Charleston?

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- Well, it ain’t exactly the post-season tournament that we dreamed of, but having the Flyers defend their NIT Championship sure beats a stick in the eye. Now that we are in it, UD might as well win it…just like last year. Bring on those black uniforms!

So, what do we know about the College of Charleston Cougars?

-- You can follow the C of C Twitter feed here:

-- Hey, Bobby Cremmins is their coach. I’m probably not the only one who wondered where the heck he went to after he was replaced at Georgia Tech by Paul Hewitt, who has himself been dismissed as head Yellow Jacket.

-- I don’t know how to pronounce “Goudelock” but I have a feeling that by the time this one is over we’ll all be painfully aware of how C of C star Andrew pronounces his surname.

-- The University of Dayton and the College of Charleston have never played each other before in hoops. Who knew?

-- My boy KenPom says UD has only a 29% chance of winning:

-- “From the Swamp” prediction:

Dayton 64
C of C 63


Elsewhere in the world of hoops:

-- Congratulations to Jim Jabir and his Flyer women’s team on making the Big Dance! Good luck in Philly! Take a tip from the men’s team and don’t eat the cheese steaks!

-- UD and the City of Dayton certainly cannot complain about a lack of publicity in the next few weeks:

A nationally televised appearance in the A-10 Championship game on CBS on Sunday afternoon

Dayton prominently featured in the NIT Selection Show on ESPN2, including an interview with BG on Sunday night

The Flyers women’s team makes the Big Dance in the Philly Region

UD Arena hosts the two doubleheaders of the ‘First Four” starting on Tuesday

The UD Men are featured on ESPN2 vs. College of Charleston in the opening game of the NIT on Tuesday night

The UD Arena hosts the Women’s NCAA Regional at the end of the month


-- Take a second and scroll down on the home page of Great Lakes Hoops.com and vote for LaDontae Henton for Mr. Basketball in their mock ballot:

“Buckets” currently leads with 45% of the votes.

-- Both LaDontae and his future Flyer teammate Percy Gibson were in action Monday night in the Michigan HS Playoffs. Percy and Detroit Southeastern faced X signee Jalen Reynolds and Livonia Stevenson, with Southeastern prevailing 52-45, with PG netting 28 points. Southeastern plays Detroit Cody in the Regional Final on Wednesday. Meanwhile in the Western part of the state, LaDontae and Lansing Eastern handled East Kenwood, 74-62. "Buckets" had 17. Next up for Eastern will be Devin Oliver’s alma mater, Kalamazoo Central, which snuck by Jackson 60-57.

-- Both guys have also been nominated for the “All-Michigan Classic” to be played on April 15th:

The final rosters will be announced March 24th and I’ll be shocked if both guys are not playing. The question is do you put them on the same team or Percy on the East and LaDontae on the West? “From the Swamp” will be in Fashionable Ferndale to provide coverage.

-- How about this game-winning shot by an 8 year old:

-- “The Sweet Tweet of the Week” comes to us from Gregg Doyel of CBS Sportsline:

Temple to Final Four. You heard it here first. If not, screw it. You heard it here 31st. Mmm, Baskin-Robbins ...

That’s it “From the Swamp.”

Like your optimism. If the ladies win 2 games in University Park this weekend, we may follow them to Philly for the Regional.
