Down seven points with 45.6 seconds left to the defending national champion and a team that has won 57 games in a row isn't a good place to be. Unless you're Anthony Atkinson and the Barton Bulldogs.
Atkinson scored 10 points in final 39 seconds of the Division II national championship game against Winona State, including a layup that beat the final buzzer by a sliver to lift Barton to a 77-75 victory and the crown.
As an honorary Sig Ep at Barton who has been to many a blurry Founder's Day in Wilson, N.C., I salute the Bulldogs and my alum friends P-Man, Fikel, Kid and Sypher. Congrats fellas!

Yeah this should've been the biggest sports story of the weekend, didn't get a whole lot of airtime. What a great story.
Second biggest of course was the winning streak ECU baseball teams on of course. ;-)
