Hey now, we still have a local team enjoying the March madness

NJIT won their game last night in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament in Newark and are on to the THIRD round which they will host this upcoming Saturday night at 7:30 vs Canisius. Sure it's not Duke and Kentucky but so what? It's an honest game from an up and coming program making the most right now of extra practice and still building off their defeat of then #17 Michigan in Ann Arbor earlier this season.

This is a team that recently had a 51 game losing streak going after joining Division 1. They were 6-83 in its first three seasons. Now just look. There's a great read on how Highlanders coach Jim Engles has managed this turnaround and the growing support for the NJIT program. Take some time you would have spent looking at your long-lost brackets and have a good read this fine sunny day.

NJIT upsets mighty Michigan!!

Newark's New Jersey Institute of Technology has upset Michigan at Crisler Center in Ann Arbor this afternoon 72-70. The Highlanders defeated the #17 Wolverines behind Ky Howard's 17 points, 6 blocks and 5 rebounds.

Well done NJIT!! As for Michigan:
