If you saw Khalid El-Amin walking down the street, you wouldn't take him for a point guard. But the roly-poly El-Amin is a damned good one.

In the chaotic aftermath, El-Amin -- who had exchanged his uniform top for a T-shirt and cap -- rushed onto the court, only to be stopped by a security guard who thought he was an unruly fan on a nacho high. El-Amin set the bouncer straight and rejoined his teammates in time to hoist the school's first national championship trophy.
