Bryant, a woeful 2-28 last season, engineers this year’s most stunning turnaround (The Dagger)
How did Bryant beat New England flagship program Boston College and Patriot League power Lehigh in non-league play? Why are the Bulldogs two or more games ahead of every NEC rival one-third of the way through the conference season? Maybe it's because O'Shea had enough faith in himself not to deviate from his five-year plan even when all signs suggested it was destined to fail.

If a single 400-word essay is all that it took to dissuade a potential student from applying to BC, however, they probably were not very interested in our school in the first place.
