And the story highlights from ESPN.com……www.espn.com
DAYTON, Ohio — Diminutive point guard Junior Robinson(Eastern Alamance High School) fearlessly dribbled into the heart of New Orleans’ defense, pulled up and hit yet another of his oh-so-soft jumpers. This one decided a frenetic opening game for the NCAA tournament.
Robinson, who at 5-foot-5 is the smallest player in Division I, scored 23 points Tuesday night, including that go-ahead jumper with 1:27 to play, and Mount St. Mary’s held on for a 67-66 victory over New Orleans in the First Four.
Robinson carried the Mountaineers (20-15) to only their second NCAA tournament win, making jumpers with so much arc they appeared to tease the ceiling.
