Making a pair of Big Dance appearances, including taking down the Dookies, will earn you an ESPY appearance.

John Adams is a Lehigh graduate

John Adams has graduated from Lehigh University with a degree in psychology plus Big Dance appearances as a senior which included taking down the Dookies 75-70.

Here he is after that game: "Lehigh forward John Adams said it was a matter of believing in each other. We saw on the selection show we had Duke and we thought we could match up very well against them, Adams said. We all believed it and we showed it on the floor. Everybody bought into that idea that we could beat them. The rest is history."

Bucknell takes on Lehigh, meaning that, with a win, the Bison can make back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances for the second time in program history. For a local connection, it means former Mitty big/now Bucknell senior Enoch Andoh will be facing former Mitty wing John Adams, a Lehigh senior.

Adams versus Andoh

Both headed back east so it's been easy to lose track of them but it's worthy to note that that the paths of former Archbishop Mitty graduates John Adams (Lehigh 14-5, 2-1 University) and Enoch Andoh (Bucknell 13-6, 3-0 University) may cross tonight as the top two teams in the Patriot League match up. Both are in their senior year.
