Reverse Survivor: Home of the Braves

Five teams - Cal Poly, Howard, Longwood, North Carolina-Asheville, and SIU-Edwardsville - dropped out of Reverse Survivor since last we met, three of them by a single basket. That leaves thirteen schools in the mix, ten of which will see action this weekend. Chances are good that next week's update will feature significantly fewer teams.

While searching for some information on Alcorn State, I happened upon this nearly-two-year-old story from ESPN.com. Given the conditions these teams face, it's amazing that some of them EVER manage to win a game.
