Happy to be DEAD WRONG

Bluder coached circles around Staley

Thank you for everything, Tobin.

The best stories in sports are the long shots; the people nobody expected or overlooked who then rise to prominence.
Demetre Roberts of Mount Vernon is one of those athletes. Totally passed over by D1 out of high school and then a star at St Thomas Aquinas for a D2 national power. That would have been wonderful story in itself.
But what Roberts, along with coach Tobin Anderson, has done this season at Fairleigh Dickinson University — a team-best 16.7 ppg, 4.3 apg and a NCAA Tournament berth — is not just remarkable. It should inspire.
As FDU prepares for tonight's Play-In Game in Dayton, take 2 minutes to appreciate why I've felt very proud to follow @Och_meech on this journey:
Love it that Iowa native Tobin Anderson, in his first year as head basketball coach at Fairleigh Dickinson University, has the Knights in the NCAA D1 tourney! Yes, they’re playing one of the “pigtail” games, but they’ve made it. FDU was 4-22 a year ago. “Turn-Around Tob!”
Would have loved to keep playing...but it’s the right decision. 25-5, #2 in East Region, #11 in the country, and ECC Tournament Champs. Incredible year! Love our team!
Beauty is one thing...
But
power, passion, poise, substance, intelligence are a whole other ball game!
What a time to be alive and witness moments like this!
Congrats @zozitunzi Miss South Africa who is the NEW MISS UNIVERSE
