NORTHRIDGE BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

Check out the tattoo on forward Lionel Benjamin’s left arm and learn how he feels about basketball.

Benjamin, a 6-4 sophomore, sports a design of a player holding a basketball that is chained to his right ankle. The tattoo includes the words: “Ball ‘n Chain.”

Point being?

“It’s my wife,” Benjamin said. “I’m married to basketball.”
