We Need Austin Peay In The NCAA Tournament After Watching The Highlights Of One-Armed Hansel Enmanuel Putting On A Damn Show This Year

I've blogged about Hansel before, so if you're not familiar with his backstory here you go: 

And now the college basketball world is talking more and more about him. Helps when Austin Peay goes into Butler and wins. Also helps when Corey Gipson goes viral every game for this: 

He's not putting up massive stats, but he's an important piece! I mean yeah, 5 and 6 isn't going to blow anyone away. The dude is doing it with one damn arm! It's so easy to say, force him the other way. Seems simple. Well, seems simple until he blows by you and dunks. Or comes out of nowhere for a putback dunk, then you just look like an idiot. 

I say it all the time. This part of the season for mid-majors is to find out who will be talked about in March. Who are the stories? Hansel Enmanuel and Corey Gipson coaching in fatigues is the mid-major story. Need them to make a run in the OVC Tournament and make the NCAA Tournament. Imagine the reaction if he has a major moment in March. America's mid-major right here. Calling it now.
