Talk:Greatest NCAA Tournament Upset of All-Time?/@comment-DNL-2006032791450

The main reason why this upset was awful is because George Mason was underrated. This is a team that, despite a creampuff schedule and their CAA status, cracked the top 25. Their two losses to Hofstra notwithstanding, there was no reason that Mason gets an 11 seed. Had they won the CAA tourney, they&quot;d certainly get an 8, minimum. They probably deserved an 8 anyway.

Now, put them as the 8 seed and give them a second round matchup with UConn. They pull the same upset. It&quot;s not even close to a big deal -- things like that happen all the time.
