Chants Hope Dust Storm To Upset Michig an West Regional Clash
Coastal Carolina coach Russ Bergman says the team must circle the wagons and pray for a dust storm to upset No. 3 Michigan in the NCAA West Regional first round at the McKale Center in Tucson. The Chanticleers enter 22-9 after an 11-game win streak and a Big South tournament title led by Tony Dunkin, while Michigan rides a seven-game win streak and aims to neutralize Coastal’s perimeter shooting. Dunkin, the all time Big South scorer, seeks redemption after Coastal’s 1991 NCAA loss to Indiana.
