Fighting for the upset: Women's basketball takes on LSU in first round of NCAA Tournament

On her way to the NCAA Tournament selection show watch party at Hunter's Ale House March 12, head coach Sue Guevara of the Central Michigan women's basketball team heard a familiar tune come on the radio.

As a graduate of Ohio State University, Guevara knew it immediately.

"Hang on Sloopy," a chart topper by the McCoys in 1965, has been a staple of the Ohio State marching band routine at football games for more than 50 years. It's even recognized by Ohio's government as the official rock song of the state.

Guevara took this as a sign.
