UNCW has been a direct benefactor
of this sort of publicity. In 2002, UNC-
Wilmington defeated Southern Cal in the
first round of the tournament and in 2003,
was a buzzer beater away from beating the
defending national champions, Maryland.
In those years, star Brett Blizzard became
just as common a name as any other player in
the ACC, and the school received the highest
number of applications for enrollment in the
entire history of the school.
Every year, the NCAA tournament con
tinues to be one of the country’s favorite
sporting events. The opportunity for the
smaller schools to succeed and gain recogni
tion continues to be one of the more interest
ing things to watch in the tournament. As we
look forward to the Final Four this weekend,
this year’s success of UW-Milwaukee and
West Virginia is still fresh in our minds and
should be remembered for years to come.
West Virginia forward Kevin Pittsnogle
battles for a loose ball. The Mountaineers were the latest Cinderella story in the NCAA
tournament, defeating Wake Forest and advancing to the elite eight.
