March Madness News

Three weeks ago, if anyone claimed that George Mason would have knocked Connecticut out of the tournament, most fans would have told him to go see a psychologist.

Not only did George Mason beat the Huskies, but they also ended the hopes of Michigan State and North Carolina, the defending national champions.

In the last issue, I talked about the Big East being the best conference in college basketball. However, with Villanova and U-Conn both making early exits, this may now be in question.

Florida earned their trip to Indianapolis by beating Georgetown, then Villanova. They will play George Mason.

On the other side of the bracket, the LSU Tigers defeated Texas and Duke. They will play UCLA, a team that won despite playing horribly in games against Memphis and Gonzaga.
