Fifty-four percent. That's what the Holy Cross Crusaders shot in their 74-55 drubbing of the AU women's basketball team two weeks ago.

Right after the Super Bowl, every sports fan goes into hibernation until March Madness starts in about a month. For college students, it's much the same. We have one month of boredom before the thrill of spring break and the end of the year right after that.
