No. 8 George Mason vs No. 9 Villanova

The Matchup:

Two “running” teams square-off in what should be a high-percentage shooting, high-scoring affair.

George Mason

The Patriots watched a 13-game winning streak come to an end with a loss to VCU in the semifinals of the CAA tournament. Coach Jim Larranaga was named the CAA Coach of the Year – the last time was 2006, when the Patriots made it to the Final Four. They’ll try and run-and-gun the ball with Cam Long (15ppg) and Ryan Pearson (14ppg).

Villanova

A Top 10 ranking fell through their hands when they lost seven of their last last nine game – including the last five in a row. Villanova is a guard-heavy team that can run and they prefer to use the outside shot to beat teams.
