Several outlets – Evansville Courier & Press, KMOV, KTVI, NCCA.com and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch – profiled the UMSL men’s basketball team’s historic run to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight. The Tritons beat McKendree 62-60 in the Midwest Region Championship, punching their ticket for the national quarterfinals. It was only the second time in school history, the first one coming in the 1971-72 season, that the Tritons advanced to the Elite Eight. Unfortunately, that’s where the team’s run ended after a 82-75 defeat at the hands of top-ranked and unbeaten Nova Southeastern.
Michael Cosmopoulos spoke with the National Herald, the paper of record of the Greek diaspora community, about his childhood in Greece and his work excavating the Eleusis and Iklaina archeological sites. Cosmopoulos, professor of archaeology and the Hellenic Government-Karakas Family Foundation Professor in Greek Studies, recounted many of the exciting discoveries at the latter including gargantuan buildings, paved roads, piazzas, and an advanced drainage system.
