GAME. BLOUSES.
Mount St. Mary’s survived a late rally by New Orleans in a 67-66 win on Tuesday night in the opening game of the First Four. Point guard Junior Robinson scored the deciding points with 1:27 remaining on a go-ahead jumper to help the Mountaineers win only their second NCAA tournament game. The Privateers actually had an opportunity to complete their comeback with 2.6 seconds left, but an Erik Thomas inbound pass was stolen by Chris Wray.
Robinson, the smallest player in Division I at 5-foot-5, scored 23 points and helped his team earn a date in Buffalo, New York, on Thursday with top overall seed and defending national champion Villanova in the East Region.
