Most attempts to read the tea leaves of the 2005-06 season have been scuttled by the UIC Flames, who have won over the hearts of Chicago's schizophrenic community by losing its home opener to a Division II team and upsetting Georgia Tech in a guarantee game two days later. Now they've surrendered the Keys to the City to Chi-State, a team whose annual struggles to get double-digit wins have won over the hearts of Chicagoans who think the Cubs have become too good.But we're not here to talk about UIC, it's time to honor the pint-sized dynamo who took them down yesterday. Royce Parran is a 5'10" scoring machine whose effort helped his Cougars erase a 19-point second-half deficit. Then, in the final moments, his key steals and assists helped seal the deal in a town with my kind of razamatazz, that has all that jazz.
