Does George Mason Have Another Run in Them?
Sporting News has an article up talking about the possibility of George Mason making another run in this year’s tourney. Here’s an excerpt:
The Patriots, meanwhile, are trying to act like underdogs even though a lot of people expect them to win. They’re trying to act like they haven’t been here before, even though they have.
Heading into the tournament, Larranaga got advise from Bob Rotella, the famous sports psychologist, who he termed a “very, very good friend” of his.
“He said, “Listen, your whole focus, your whole team’s focus has to be relax and enjoy the journey. Have fun with it. Don’t be uptight. … You have everything to gain and nothing to lose,”‘ Larranaga said. “He said, “If you go in with that mind set, I think your guys will play great.”‘
Another article on TSN basically picks the Irish to win though…
George Mason might be a popular pick on a lot of brackets this year, but the fact remains Notre Dame has more depth and enters the game with a desire to prove they are more than a Big East flameout. The Patriots lost four of seven games before winning the Colonial title. They can’t afford a let down of any sort.
