 DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - Oakland's first trip to the NCAA tournament will last at least two games. Golden Grizzlies, meet the Tar Heels. Oakland broke open a tight game behind Rawle Marshall's 29 points and Cortney Scott's 21 to beat Alabama A&M 79-69 Tuesday night in the opening round of the NCAA tournament at the University of Dayton.
The Golden Grizzlies (13-18) won their sixth game in a row, including three upsets in as many days last week by a combined seven points to take the Mid-Continent Conference title, giving them a berth in the field of 65.
Now they have a first-round game against top-seeded North Carolina on Friday night — in Charlotte, no less.
