The coaching staff must have felt pain watching the film of George Mason’s 78-77 double-overtime loss to East Carolina.
After finding ways to lose to Central Michigan, the Patriots found ways to lose to the Pirates.
It was the trifecta of badness: George Mason turned the ball over 19 times, allowed 22 second-chance points, was outrebounded despite having a size advantage, and was in foul trouble. Even with all that, the Patriots should have won.
Central Michigan beat George Mason twice.
