Cinderella's Cousin, A Few Times Removed

A lot of talk is wasted on the teams fighting for the No. 1 seeds in the NCAA basketball tournament, like North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Connecticut, and Oklahoma. We all know they'll get matched up against schools of relative obscurity in the first round.

The No. 16 seeds are just happy to get on a plane and play against the most talented amateur players in the country. They might entertain thoughts of sticking in the game for the first half, or making a jumpshot over Hasheem Thabeet. But honestly, the postseason for them was the MEAC or OVC or Big Sky conference tournament and they have no chance of making it to the second round. These small conference teams don't have the skill or size to compete with the powerhouses.
And yet, for every one of the No. 16 seeds, there are dozens of teams that barely miss out on going to the Dance. I'm going to tell you about one of those teams. It's only appropriate that we discuss the Campbell University Fighting Camels.
Situated in Buies Creek, North Carolina, Campbell is a private Baptist college of roughly 9,500 students. Known primarily for its business and management program, its motto is "ad astra per aspera" (to the stars through difficulties). Its men's basketball team plays in the Atlantic Sun Conference and it's currently on a four-game win streak (including victories over conference leaders Jacksonville and East Tennessee State). The Camels are led by junior forward Jonathan Rodriguez, who nets 16 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. On Thursday, the Camels (14-15) are playing in the quarterfinal of the A-Sun tournament at Lipscomb (don't ask me where that is).

Campbell's only NCAA tournament appearance came in 1992, where they lost to No. 1 seed Duke, 82-56. Let's go, Camels! Get back to the Dance! Beat the Bisons!
