WASHINGTON (AP) — The way North Carolina-Asheville sees it, the Bulldogs’ chances against Pitt aren’t a million to one against.
Guard Matt Dickey says it’s a one-in-a-million opportunity.
After winning one of the NCAA’s “First Four” play-in games, the Big South champions continue their whirlwind postseason journey against Pitt on Thursday in Washington.
The Bulldogs arrived in the nation’s capital in the wee hours Wednesday after their victory over Arkansas-Little Rock in Dayton, Ohio. Dickey says he’s been a bit overwhelmed by the turn of events.
No 16th seed has ever beaten a No. 1 seed. Pitt is a NCAA tournament regular, but coach Jamie Dixon and his players say they aren’t overlooking the Bulldogs.
