Mount St. Mary made the NCAA tournament?
Nearby Mount St. Mary’s men’s basketball team will play Coppin State — also from Maryland — tonight in a pre-NCAA men’s basketball tournament game in Dayton, Ohio. The two schools are located only about 50 miles from each other. Why go all the way to Dayton to play? If you’ve never been to Dayton, your lucky. It’s a poor man’s Cleveland, only not as fancy or pretentious.
The winning team then goes on this Friday to play the #1 ranked team in the nation, the North Carolina Tar Heels. It gets better; The game will be played in Raleigh, North Carolina.
I wonder who the crowd will be rooting for.
I was listening to the Dan Patrick show yesterday and he was asking callers where some of the so-called “mid-major schools” were located. When he asked about Mount St. Mary, it never even occurred to me that it was the same Mount St. Mary located in nearby Emmitsburg. I wouldn’t even call them a mid-major. It’s a small Catholic school located north of Thurmont where I used to work. I would sometimes listen to games on the radio when I was work.
It was either that or country music.
