    Re: Who's Final Four Run Was Better? George Mason's or VCU's?

    This isnt even debateable.
    VCU would not even have made the tourney last year.
    George Mason knew they where going to be in the tourney they year they made their run.
    Heck VCU didnt even think they were going to get into the tourney, they didnt even gather as a team to watch the selection show.
    Also they lost 5 of their last 8 league games, GM came into the tourney in 06 playing really well.

      VCU, lot of doubters from the beginning, whether they really deserved to even make it into the field. Now here they are in the final 4. Shaka Smart now recognized on the national stage. Fair chance to make the finals.

        While I agree that VCU's run is better:

        People were very upset that GMU got in over Hofstra as Hofstra beat GMU twice in about two weeks, especially considering that Skinn was suspended for his actions.

        While VCU was predicted to have practically no chance at making it in, GMU wasn't that sure fire lock as you're making it sound. There was some real debate about that inclusion.

          The Hofstra over George Mason argument was dumb in itself. George Mason was the only team Hofstra beat that year, while Mason actually had some wins over top 100 RPI teams.

          The two teams were in the exact same boat. Neither was the most argued team, as Air Force was the one people were dogging the most for getting into the tournament that year just like Clemson/UAB were this year. People picked George Mason to beat Michigan St, while most people didn't even pick VCU to get out of the play-in game.

            GMU, i'm not sure how just because people complained about VCU being in the tournament makes their run any better for comparisons sake.

            The quality of the teams they beat were better not to mention 2 games without one of their great players.
