Message: [QUOTE="Brochacho, post: 3492991, member: 705"] Well we were due for a loss like that. George Mason was the basketball gods pushing back for UConn converting 80% of our Final Fours into championships, which is nuts. Looking at our tournament history, the Elite Eight loss to George Mason and the game where Price tore his ACL against San Diego are our only blemishes really. Duke, for example, lost to a 15 seed in 2012 and a 14 in 2014. Kansas lost to a 14 in 2005 and a 13 in 2006. Things happen to good programs that are constantly in the tournament, and honestly, there's no shame in losing to a team in the Elite Eight. Its incredibly hard to string together 3 wins, 4 wins even more so. Plus, George Mason knocked off Michigan State and UNC in 2006 - they weren't bad. [/QUOTE]
