Not Many Still Playing But NJIT One Of Them
There were 351 Division I basketball teams that started the 2014-15 season back in November.
Only 16 will still be playing after Sunday night.

NJIT Soldiers On; Might MEAC Be Savior?
When NJIT arrived at the WRAC in Brooklyn last Sunday, Jim Engles was greeted by an enthusiastic security guard who sauntered up to him and gave him a big handshake.
“I used to play here for LIU,” he said. “I remember what it was like to be the little guy. I played against Terry Dehere and those guys. That’s a great thing you did last week (against Michigan).”
Three Thoughts: Holy Cross 76, NJIT 66
Out of context, it wasn’t a bad performance for NJIT in a 76-66 loss Friday night at Holy Cross. The Highlanders led for the entire first half and were within striking distance against a Crusader squad that was picked third in the Patriot League (and finished third last season), a conference that has had its share of NCAA success in the last decade, currently 19th in the KenPom ratings. That doesn’t sound like much, but, of course, NJIT is homeless, at least as far as conference affiliation is concerned, so good job, good effort. Really.
