Bulldog supporters gathered on campus
Friday morning to welcome home the
men's basketball team from the NCAA
tournament. The team, that was knocked
out in the second round by the Pittsburgh
Panthers, had been traveling since early
Friday morning to return to Asheville.
Although the game put an end to the
team's tournament dreams, the Bulldogs
fought hard and garnered national rec-
ognitiph and air-time on ESPN. The final
score was 74-51, Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh, ranked No. 1 in the South East
region, were subsequently upset by But
ler, a No. 8 seed, in the third round.
