For the Rams, it was the second Atlantic 10 conference tournament title in program history.

It’s a wonder they didn’t just nuke the entire tournament from orbit to get rid of that stench.ġ987 saw the introduction of “One Shining Moment,” and its chewy synth and buck-naked, primary-colors emotion fit in well with the times.
