A phenomenal college basketball player, Ray Blent is under a ton of pressure. To start with, he's got academic troubles up the wazoo. There's a major exam staring him in the face and he has to pass it if he wants to stay on the team. But he hasn't had time to study ever since the mob started pressuring him to throw the game against the Russians. And then there's the issue of one very pretty but extremely distracting cheerleader who seems to pop up in all his classes. But if Ray can survive this semester, he'll probably make it to the major league. [More]
