What makes this victory so memorable Islanders, in celebrating that dramatic is not simply that the Knicks won the victory, a victory that still carries lessons championship, but that they won it through exceptionally unselfish play and team for us 50 years later. chemistry. In so doing they became one of the most admired and beloved teams in New York and NBA basketball history. There is often a misperception that New Yorkers prize individual achievement and care little for team play. That belief was challenged in the days and months after 9/11 when New York showed the world what team play was. And it has also been long challenged by the esteem that the 1970 team is held in by New Yorkers. Today, the memory of their play connects BISHOP JOHN O.

  • Coppin State Eagles Are in Town and Looking to Upset the 8-1 Wolverine Basketball Team in the First Ever Meeting Between the Two Schools
    The Michigan Full Court Press Volume VII Issue X The Official Newsletter of the Maize Rage 28 December 2005 “We want to have a legacy here by bringing Michigan back on the map. I think we realize we can do that. We have a lot of talent on this team. We wasted it last year. We're trying to seize it now.” –Courtney Sims, quoted in the Chicago Tribune Happy Holidays Wolverine fans! It’s great to have you here for the second installment of Winter Break Michigan Basketball. Tonight, most of the attention in Ann Arbor will be directed not on Crisler, but instead on the Alamo Dome in San Antonio, where the Michigan football team takes on Nebraska in the Alamo Bowl. However, the Coppin State Eagles are in town and looking to upset the 8-1 Wolverine basketball team in the first ever meeting between the two schools. The Eagles have played perhaps the toughest schedule in the country so far (at Clemson, at Xavier, at UCLA, at Oklahoma, at Illinois, and at Pitt), and they will be at the Breslin Center on Saturday. They may be winless, but they can put up a fight. Let’s take care of business tonight. Go Blue! Here is the projected starting lineup for the Coppin State Eagles (0-9, 0-0 MEAC): 10 Darryl Roberts 5’9” G “Boog” lists “the air conditioning” as his favorite thing about Coppin State 22 Tywain McKee 6’2” G Led the team with 19 points at Oklahoma... to go along with 7 turnovers 24 Augustine Woodlin 6’2” G Augie was a two-year letter winner at Simon Gratz, where Rasheed Wallace played high school ball; unlike Sheed, he describes himself as “shy” 32 Darryl Proctor 6’4” F “D-Money” is a big fan of Boy Meets World; shot 2-10 at Pittsburgh 34 Brian Chesnut 6’7” F Freshman from the National Christian Academy is the tallest player on the Eagles and also leads the team in field goal percentage at 57.9% Coach Ronald “Fang” Mitchell Led the 15-seed Eagles to an upset win over 2-seed South Carolina in 1997 Happy Belated Birthday: Sophomore forward Darryl Proctor (#10) celebrated his 19th birthday on Monday.
