Bio
The 1999-2000 men's basketball team etched its name into the record books by capturing the program's first-ever Northeast Conference (NEC) Championship and earning a berth in the NCAA Tournament as a #15 seed. Led by NEC Coach of the Year Howie Dickenman and NEC Player and Defensive Player of the Year Rick Mickens, the team dominated the conference with a 14-game winning streak from December 18 to February 10. The roster featured standout performances from All-NEC selections Corsley Edwards and John Tice, with Mickens also earning NEC Tournament MVP honors. All three—Mickens, Edwards, and Tice—were named to the NEC All-Tournament Team. Three members of that team, Dickenman, Edwards and Mickens are already enshrined in the CCSU Alumni Athletics Hall of Fame.
