    When a college basketball team travels, the players tend to stand out in airports.


    Saturday, a few hours after winning its 15th straight game to start the 2003-04 season, Saint Joseph's was going through airport security in Cincinnati when a TSA employee singled out one of the Hawks.


    The woman with the wand didn't approach the player for more screening. She just questioned his role with Saint Joseph's. The player was walking among the tall group of players, but his size made it hard to believe he was actually one of the group


    Yes, ma'am ... Jameer Nelson is a player.


    In fact, at the midway point of the 2003-04 season, the Saint Joseph's senior guard is the leading candidate for national player of the year honors.


    The security woman obviously isn't a college basketball fan, nor was she one of those at Xavier earlier that afternoon who watched Nelson score 28 points in helping the Hawks beat the Minutemen, 81-73.


    "She was like, 'Are you on the basketball team?'" Nelson said. "I said yes. And then she said, 'You must be the water boy, you're so short."</div>
