Michael Culpo, senior guard for NCAA tournament underdog Long Island University-Brooklyn, told BuzzFeed he's bringing “only the essentials” on his five day trip to Columbus, OH. For a March Madness-bound basketball player, that means at least 8 pairs of game socks.
"We don't play until Friday, but we leave on Tuesday and plan on being on the road at least until Sunday," says Michael Culpo, LIU-Brooklyn senior who's playing in his second straight NCAA tournament this week. 16 seeded LIU faces the #1 seed in their region Michigan State in their opening game as they attempt to pull off what's never been done before - a 16 seed defeating a 1 seed. Just in case the impossible happens on Friday, Culpo is packed for two games.
