It's Nov. 6, the first game of the men's basketball season for Western Michigan University, and starting point guard B. Artis White is a bit nervous as he pulls on his No. 3 jersey.
There is another number which White would just as soon forget, though.
It's 612…the number of days since he'd been able to pull on No. 3 and play for the Broncos. And play that night he did, scoring 20 points with four assists, three rebounds and two steals in 41 minutes of action in an 80-76 overtime loss to North Dakota State.
