In a largely ho-hum affair, the Golden Lions punched their first-ever tickets to the Big Dance, 50-38 over the Texas Southern Tigers, who might have done well to slip assistant coaches Nick Van Exel and Vin Baker into uniform. Ok, maybe not Baker. UAPB started out the season 0-11, all on the road, with losses to Colorado, Denver, UTEP, Akron, Arizona State, Michigan, Oklahoma State, Georgia Tech, Missouri, Kansas State, and Oregon. Yup, 0-11. But they went 14-4 in the SWAC and made it to the title game by stealing an inbounds and hitting the winning bucket with 1 second left in their 46-44 semifinal win over Alabama State. Congrats to the Golden Lions. Now give your mascot a haircut.
