    If anyone says La Salle is making its first trip to the round of 16 in a very, very long time, don't believe it.

    The last time the upstart Explorers got this far, the NCAA tournament didn't even have a round of 16.

    But now it does and the little school from Philadelphia is there.

    Tyrone Garland banked home a scooping layup with 2 seconds left and the 13th-seeded Explorers beat Mississippi 76-74 on Sunday, making this their deepest run since they advanced to the championship game of the 24-team field in 1955.
