Not the same team at all from last year.<BR/><BR/>George Mason is also a far cry from its Final Four team. They were ranked 26 in the RPI that year. This season, they are ranked 61st and seeded only one slot below where they were in '06.<BR/><BR/>The other 12s are ranked 51, 57, and 37. Should we have been a 4? Certainly, but I don't see the borderline outrage.<BR/><BR/>However, I think we can agree on one point: if the Irish lose in the first round this year, they have no one to blame but themselves.BlackandGreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08973328610673633428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37698030.post-872630027030419692008-03-16T20:15:00.000-04:002008-03-16T20:15:00.000-04:00I agree with sebastian.
