Bridgin’ The Gap Podcast Season 2 Episode 18 "On & Coppin" Pt. 1
BTG Nation Episode 18 “On & Coppin” part one is here! This week we are joined by OG's former Coppin State teammates! The crew gets together to discuss the recent documentary released about their historic NCAA Tourney upset, what JK was like as a teammate, all that it takes to be a coach, & more!
"On & Coppin chronicles the challenges faced by then head coach Ron “Fang” Mitchell, in his attempt to recruit athletes to a Division I program with no facilities and located on a campus in the midst of crime-ridden West Baltimore, Md. On March 14, 1997 in the face of adversity, Coach Mitchell and his Coppin State Eagles, defied the odds and made history by becoming only the third No. 15 seed to defeat a No. 2 seed in the opening round."
