The best player to ever play there --- not counting you, of course  --- was Fred Carter, Mad Dog to old NBA fans.
Yes Carter was no Oscar Robertson or Michael Jordan but he was an excellent player that had a very good NBA career and scored almost 10,000 points.
Thanks for sharing your memories and thoughts. |
you are right - it just so happened the year we scrimmaged them they were really bad -
but still - pretty astonishing that a school that small could appear so many years in the Div. 1 tourney - they're there again this year
I did not fully appreciate Mt. St. Mary's history - my bad
the madness is close upon us - here's the bracket
good luck to all
