Its beginning to look like my law school alma mater may become the Cinderella team of this year’s NCAA tournament.
DAYTON, Ohio — Michigan State? Gone. Defending national champion North Carolina? Gone, too. Any more questions about whether George Mason belongs in the NCAA tournament?Didn’t think so. The upstart Patriots turned Carolina a whole different shade of blue Sunday, knocking the third-seeded Tar Heels out with a 65-60 victory that set up a mid-major matchup in the round of 16.
Even if they don’t make it any further, the mere fact that they knocked out the defending national champions puts a capstone on what has been a great season.
And what about my other alma mater ? Well, unfortunately, the men’s team got knocked out in their second game in the NIT. Fortunately, the women’s team continues to advance.
