Holy Maloney, George Mason WonThe Patriots upset sixth-seed Michigan 76-65.
What a great night of victories; first James Webb and now my alma mater.
The Washington Post reports the 11th seeded Pats won by hitting "59 percent of their shots from the field (29-of-49)."
So much for those naysayers who said George Mason didn't belong in the tournament; and this without guard Tony Skinn who was suspended for one game for "punching an opponent."
Each of its previous three trips in 1989, 1999 and 2001, George Mason lost in the first round, but not this time around!
Onward faithful soldiers to RCA Dome.
Update: George Mason will play the Tarheels on Sunday with karma on their side. Today the women Tarheels, the third seed, lost to 10th ranked University of Miami.
