Jesse Reimink has been in the NCAA Tournament twice before. This time, Hope has him and four seniors in the starting lineup, and the Flying Dutchmen are two games short of going to the Final Four for the first time since 1998.

Reimink is the only starter who's not a senior, but you wouldn't know it.

“He exudes his leadership and is respected by the seniors," says Hope coach Glenn Van Wieren. "They consider him one of them. ... That's a great a compliment to Jesse that they would feel that way. I think our four freshmen on the varsity, they look at Jesse and say, �He's the kind of player I want to be.'”
