ATLANTA (AP) — Carver College has become college basketball's equivalent of the Washington Generals, barnstorming from city to city, playing games almost every night, enduring one enormous beating after another.
Appalachian State 105, Carver 23.
Wofford 111, Carver 37.
Georgia Southern 92, Carver 27.
Yet there's one big difference between the Cougars and that hapless foil of the Harlem Globetrotters.
Carver always takes the court expecting to win, even though there's virtually no chance of that happening unless the other team fails to show up.
“I don't have that mindset,” says the team's eternally optimistic coach, Bryan Spencer.
