I must admit that I am still stunned about George Mason advancing to the Sweet Sixteen. And beating two teams from last year's Final Four in the process. And playing Wichita State--who we beat just a few weeks ago on Bracket Buster Saturday in Wichita. GMU did a pretty good job holding Paul Miller in check in that game, which turned out to be a good preview of what GMU did against Davis and Hansbrough this weekend.
On a related subject, Trent McBride has another great post with more data on the performance of mid-majors in the tournament. (I linked his earlier post this weekend here).
If George Mason makes it past the Huskies, they will make it all the way to the finals. But they'll lose there to UCLA.
My prediction is actually a Washington-UCLA final game.
But I'm glad George Mason has done so well. Good law school, good basketball team!
And, in case you haven't guessed, I'm a West Coast resident.
I gloat.
