from the ESPN College BBall Blog:
On April 6, Baye Moussa Keita was at the top of the college sports food chain, a member of Syracuse’s Final Four team.
On April 18, he was sleeping in a cardboard box in the middle of a wind-swept Syracuse quad.
Technically, Keita was fulfilling a requirement for Jeff Pauline’s Personal and Social Responsibility class, but he got a lot more out of the assignment than a simple grade.
“It really opened my eyes," said Keita, a reserve center who averaged 3.7 points and 3.7 rebounds this season. “I’ve always been thankful for everything I have but this really made me aware."
