Little Dance Edit Meaning

1.

A conference tournament in NCAA basketball. This term is used especially for mid-major (non- BCS) teams for whom winning the conference tournament is their only shot at getting into the big dance, i.e. the NCAA tournament. This term was coined by ESPN.

Phil: "LeBron James is awesome man. You know, I could have been that good if I had stuck with the game."

Kevin: "No you couldn't have."

Phil: "Dude! I was a big-time NBA prospect before I injured my knee."

Kevin: "No you weren't."

Phil: "Well, no, but I played in college and made it to the NCAA tournament - the big dance!"

Kevin: "No you didn't."

Phil: "No, but my team did play in the little dance and almost won."

Kevin: "No they didn't."

Phil: "No, but I did play in college."

Kevin: "Nope."

Phil: "I mean high school."

Kevin: "Uh-uh."

Phil: "I mean the 8-year-olds league."

Kevin: "No way."

Phil: "Well ok, but I did play in a pick-up game once and scored 10 points."

Kevin: "No you didn't."

Phil: "Well no. How did you know? Is it because I'm white?"

Kevin: "No, it's because you're a one-armed midget. I hate to say it, but basketball just isn't the game for you."

Phil: "Oh yeah, good point. But if I could grow two feet or so - and another arm - then I'd be 5-foot-3 and could be the next Muggsy Bogues."

Kevin: "Nope, sorry. Not a chance."

Phil: "Well I was a world champion in midget tossing...as the projectile."

Kevin: "Now THAT I believe."
