The 331 team tournament started off with just one game Monday night, but it was a very good game. Central Connecticut State trailed host Fairleigh Dickinson throughout and was still behind by four points with just over a minute left. However, hguard Nigel Scantlebury was fouled driving to the hoop with 7 seconds left. He made both free throws and CCSU won 67-66 becoming the first post season winner of 2022. Ten more wins and it would be the CCSU Blue Devils rather than those led by Coach K cutting down the nets in New Orleans.
Here’s the latest list of the teams we have said goodbye to for the post season. As of today there are 22 eliminated from NCAA championship contention and 336 still alive.
