This was the lowest moment of my entire time at UConn. It was a humbling experience for the entire student body because George Mason flat out outplayed a team that had six (6) NBA drafted players on it. The fact they won is an amazing story and why we love March Madness. I only hope that this year's UConn team remembers and they beat Michigan State on Saturday and win the championship on Monday! Go UConn!!!

That's what i love about college basketball. All these kids in big ass schools are gonna go to the NBA. And the others who dream of basketball everyday who play for small schools put everything on the line because they don't know if they are going to the NBA or not but they have the heart to put everything on the line to win a game. That's what the NBA needs in teams.

All these college kids going to the big time sports schools. Uconn, North Carolina, Texas, Alabama, etc. It was really special having that big game experience with a mid major commuter school. Too bad that Florida team had 4 NBA players on it (Al Horford, Joakim Noah, Corey Brewer, Taurean Green). They just outsized and outmatched us. VCU doing it a few years later wasn't the same, because before Mason nobody thought it was possible. But man they were so clutch that night. I remember watching the game and saying wow after they kept hitting all those tough shots.

GMU was amazing that postseason, too bad they lost to eventual champion, Florida.

No one on espn.com (out of over 10 million entries) had correctly picked The Final 4 that year on their brackets! Less than 1/10th of 1 percent even had George Mason making The Final 4 that year. LSU also was an unranked team that had relatively few pick them on their brackets. It's tough enough to make it through the 1st Thursday slate of games with a perfect record. Anyone can pick an upset or two...however avoiding picking the wrong upsets that never happen is also tough. That's why it's easier to win Powerball three drawings in a row...than it is to fill out a perfect NCAA Bracket!
