ESPN.com - Jokester Brennan has another game left to coach
Dateline: Friday March, 18, 2005
In what may be the single most exciting basketball game I have ever seen as a Vermonter, 13th seed UVM upset Big East Champion (and 2003 NCAA Tournament winner) Syracuse, the No. 4 seed, in overtime. Germain Mopa Njila, a transplant from the Cameroon, stepped up and netted a career high 20 points, outshining scoring leader Taylor Coppenrath. Point guard T.J. Sorentine hit a 3-pointer "from the parking lot" (as the television color commentators put it) in the closing minutes to secure the victory. Exiting coach Tom Brennan will be honored with a Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor called "Tom Brennan's Retiremint."
