Mount St. Mary's Wins, Blowout Loss to North Carolina Awaits

Mount St. Mary's beat Coppin State Tuesday night in Dayton, Ohio in the NCAA Tournament "play-in" game, 69-60. Oh wait....that's right, according to the NCAA it's not the "play in" game it's the "Opening Round". Yeah...okay.

The "Opening Round".....If that's the case then why does this "Opening Round" of March Madness contain ONLY 2 TEAMS????


Exactly..... It's the play in game. Anyway - Mount St. Mary's won the honor of getting run off the court by North Carolina by shooting an "amazing" 34% from the field against Coppin State. Mighty impressive shooting performance from this year's Northeastern Conference representative.

Okay...the Mountaineers aren't that bad.

They did beat Winthrop earlier this year, and played Oregon kinda close on the road. However, an 81-57 pasting by Oklahoma may be closer to what we see when they match up with Roy Williams' Tar Heels.


This Jeremy Goode kid for Mount St. Mary's can play a bit....he's a little 5-9 point guard who runs their offense and can shoot the 3 a little. I'd personally LOVE to see Mount St. Mary's become the first 16 seed to win a game in the tourney by ending Tyler Spazz-borough's season.....but it's not gonna happen. The ONLY reason Mount St. Mary's is even in this game is because they shot 32 free throws against Coppin State.

Ummmm....something tells me the refs won't be quite as nice when these guys play the Tar Heels....call it a hunch.


I was kind of hoping Coppin State and their 20 losses were going to get the Tar Heels just so I could see what the bookmakers would set the line at...but oh well. At least they don't have to risk being torn from limb-to-limb by Tyler Spaz-borough.....
