Lights, camera, action.

March 13th, 2010...For one team of homegrown heroes, the ensuing 40 minutes represented the chance of a lifetime.

For Devin Ebanks (Long Island City, New York), Darryl Bryant (Brooklyn, New York), Kevin Jones (Mount Vernon, New York), Da'Sean Butler (Newark, New Jersey), and Wellington Smith (Summit, New Jersey), this game represented the ultimate homecoming. After all, they technically were the home team. 

There was one problem with this fairy tale. None of these guys actually played for the real home team. 

As I watched the West Virginia Mountaineers take the court at MSG, I couldn't help thinking, "Why aren't these guys playing for St. John's?"
