Brown's 32, Six 3s Carry Niagara Past Florida A&M <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">DAYTON, Ohio -- Clif Brown's career night made the NCAA play-in game feel less like a consolation prize. For Niagara, it felt like history. The senior forward with the gentle touch scored 32 points and made a career-high six 3-pointers Tuesday night, leading the Purple Eagles to a 77-69 victory over Florida A&M in the play-in game. Niagara (23-11) hadn't won an NCAA Tournament game since 1970. Even though this one fell under the heading of play-in, it felt like a breakthrough. "Our first NCAA Tournament win in 37 years," coach Joe Mihalich said. "It's a little mark in the history book. No asterisk, as far as I'm concerned." It was a start. The Purple Eagles will head to Chicago for a game Friday against Kansas, the top seed in the West Regional. No play-in winner has gone on to knock off a No. 1 team. In fact, no 16 seed has beaten a No. 1.</div> Source
