One minute left if OT, GMU up by 4!

For me, the only game that this rivals is the BG/TU game last year. This is ridiculous. GMU up 5 in OT with :41 to go.

Up FOUR 25 seconds to go!

You have to be happy for George Mason. Wow.

I thought that three was going in but clanged off the back of the rim!

I can't tell y'all how happy I am for Jim L. This couldn't happen to a nicer man.

I wasn't around BG when Larranaga was and UConn losing cost me any chance of winning money in a couple pools, but I am so excited for Larranaga and all of George Mason's fans. On this run, they have knocked off a preseason top 10 team, the defending national champs, and the number 1 team in the country most of this year. You can guarantee that I will be going nuts for the Patriots next weekend. I hope Florida knocks off Villanova right now, but if they don't, I hope Mason blows them right out of Indy.

You can't help but root for GMU, and having a former BG coach makes it even more exciting. Congrats to Coach L.

in the money pool that i'm in, none of the 51 entrants will have picked the champion. no one's pick for the champion is even a final four participant.
wow.

25 Duke and 26 UCONN picks??

I had Villanova winning it in my money pool. Now all I have left is UCLA. My best hope, I think, is to see if I somehow maintained my lead going into next weekend, and pull for GMU-LSU in the final.
