OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - When the Bucknell Bison arrived at their hotel in the wee hours Saturday, still giddy from pulling off the biggest upset in the first round of this year's NCAA tournament, athletic director John Hardt wondered, "Who are all these people?"
In addition to the usual gathering of family, friends and fans, a new legion of Bison backers popped up. It included kids in town for a recreation league tournament cheering from balconies and members of the Northern Iowa band, who had so much fun filling in for Bucknell's crew at the arena that they trekked out to the hotel to keep playing the new fight song they'd just learned.
"Only in America," coach Pat Flannery said.
