That has been one of the best game and surely has to go down as one of the biggest upsets in recent tourney history. GMU had to beat UConn like 3X it seems. They where down 12 at one point then had UConn beat at the end of regulation but gave up a difficult layup at the buzzer. In the OT the played strong and pulled it out. They did this with UConn rotating huge players while GMU had the same guys on the floor nearly the whole game! Im sorry but LSU isnt even close to being as deserving as the GMU team. They entered as an at large bid and are the first #11 to get this far.Originally Posted by MJZiggy
1 round: beat #6 Mich St
2 round: beat #3 North Carolina
3 round: beat #7 Wichita St who took out #2 Tennesse
4 round beat #1 UConn
Last but not least they wear the almost the exact same colors as the Pack!!
This is what makes the Tourney so exciting. I hope they win it all.
Sidenote from an ESPN article:
Online sports book PinnacleSports.com opened George Mason at 400-to-1 and had one person make a $20 wager at those odds, according to Simon Noble, chief executive of the Web site. That $20 bet would be worth $8,000 if the Patriots go on to win the national title.
