Blog & Tackle: NCAA Opening-Round Game to have Maryland flavor
Location: BlogsBlogsChris Pika's Blog    
Posted by: Chris Pika 3/16/2008 4:53 PM
The NCAA has announced that Coppin State will take on Mount St. Mary's in the NCAA Division I opening-round game set for Tuesday in Dayton, Ohio, and televised at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN.

The NCAA traditionally takes the two lowest-rated teams and unfortunately, it means one of the teams from the state will not make it to the actual field of 64.

The good news is that the game is nationally televised and that the country can see two teams that had decidedly different runs to the NCAA tournament.

Coppin State is 16-20 and the only team in the field with a losing record. The Eagles were 4-19 after 23 games and won 12 of their final 13 games, including four in four days to qualify.

Mount St. Mary's, 18-14 overall, was 9-3 over their final 12 games in capturing the Northeast Conference title.

By the way, a familar face to local basketball fans will be seen later today during the NCAA selection show. Tom O'Connor, the chair of the Division I Men's Basketball Championship Committee and the athletic director at George Mason, was the former AD at Loyola College from 1976-86. He also served as the Greyhounds' head coach from 1974-76.

Congrats to UMBC, Coppin State and Mount St. Mary's for their accomplishments this season. Congrats also to Morgan State, whose regular-season MEAC title gives them an automatic bid to the NIT.

I have just heard about a third postseason tournament this year -- the College Basketball Invitational. The 16-team tourney will battle with the NIT for at-large teams, and in an interesting twist -- the two finalists will play a best-of-three series for the title.

Is it a positive that two Maryland teams are on national TV on Tuesday or it is unfair to Mount St. Mary's to be in the play-in game? What do you think? Leave a comment below ...

The Mount got hosed. They shouldn't be relegated to the play-in game. Probably should be Coppin vs. Mississippi Valley State.

I know that UMBC is a small team compared to the big boys of Georgetown ... I still hope that the team I have seen live all year long shows the nation what they can do. Jay Greene is pound-for-pound the most amazing point guard I've seen play. This kid plays like every game is a championship game. He plays unselfish and is willing to do what it takes for the team. His passes are amazing, he handles the ball with tight security, and his long ball is clutch. I swear up close this kid looks like he is 12, but he plays like a 10-year vet in the NBA. I'm not expecting George Mason-style upsets here, but these kids really play the game because they love it. And the real important thing is that they are students first. Is there any other team in the dance with a player working on their master's degree? Yeah Maryland has more success over the years, but they should look to see what the smaller schools are doing right and try to emulate it. That said ... I am not looking forward to our coach getting poached. I'll be sad when he leaves but what he has done has been amazing. And not just UMBC, but the small schools throughout the state. This is what college basketball gets so right compared to the constant disappointment of Division I football. So much magic on so many campuses across the country. MARCH MADNESS AT ITS BEST BABY!!! (From Chris Pika: It's a great accomplishment to make the tourney, especially from the so-called one-bid conferences. To me, those championship-game wins like UMBC, Coppin State and Mount St. Mary's had are more exciting to watch than the Final Four in a lot of cases. When I was a student basketball manager at Loyola College in 1985, we had an eight-point lead with two minutes left at home vs. FDU in the ECAC Metro finals, but we could not hold on. I remember many of the wins we had when I was there from 1983-87, but I clearly remember the details of that one loss more than anything. That's how much just playing for the one bid available means to everyone connected with the program. It means more than winning the ACC or SEC tourney -- since most of the top teams know they are in the NCAAs regardless of their finish. Good luck to our state teams!)
