Philadelphia, 1:46 p.m.
There are hundreds of Monmouth rooters here at the Wachovia Center. Some came on fan buses. Dan Cebarano, an MU junior from Howell, was one of the fans to win a student ticket lottery. Some members of the golf team are present as well. They are all filled with that usual pre-game anticipation of "the upset." Well, at least MU is here. No one else in NJ D I is playing as we speak. Talked to President Gaffney. MU is "hoping", stress that word, to break ground on the new arena by "the end of the year."
