PORTLAND, OR – Everyone knows all about the 5-12 – the fact that almost every year, at least one #12 seed upsets a #5. This year, many pundits have circled the game between 12th-seeded Long Beach State, champions of the Big West, and New Mexico, winners of the Mountain West.
LBSU makes its first NCAA tournament appearance under head coach Dan Monson, but it isn’t Monson’s first trip to the NCAAs. The 49ers coach has also taken Gonzaga and Minnesota to the dance.
Kevin Calabro caught up with Monson ahead of the game against the Lobos.
