Is it the same AP article?

No, just a small blurb. But I wouldn't doubt that the Pilot writer used the Post as the source.

In looking a second time at what was in today's print version of the Post (all of 2 sentences), it said "From News Services and Staff Reports" and what followed were 10 scores of men's and women's games from local universities. Our game was mentioned first. No Post sportswriter had a byline on the article and they did mention the A10 correctly in the sentence talking about Grayer. I'm guessing the error was in the original AP summary and someone on the Post staff corrected the league affiliation.

Indeed, here' the game recap that was on ESPN.com with the source indicated as Associated Press:

• Associated Press

AMHERST, Mass. -- Otis Livingston II scored 22 points, Jalen Jenkins added 15 and tied his career best with 12 rebounds, and George Mason held off UMass 76-74 on Saturday for its sixth victory on the road.

UMass closed to 66-65 on Donte Clark's layup with 4:47 to go, but the Patriots pulled ahead 74-69 on Marquise Moore's layup in traffic with 24 seconds left. Dejon Jarreau's tip-in and 3-pointer got the Minutemen within 76-74 with seven seconds to go before Livingston missed a free throw and C.J. Anderson was off on a 3 at the buzzer.

Jaire Grayer scored 12 for the Patriots (14-7, 4-4 America East), who made 14 of 22 free throws to the Minutemen's 8 for 17.

Clark scored 13, Anderson and Tyrn Flowers added 11 apiece and Jarreau had 10 for UMass (12-10, 2-7), which has lost three straight.

Karmari Newman's 3-pointer put the Patriots up for good 16-14 and George Mason led 43-34 at halftime.

Likely the Virginia Pilot and the Post both subscribe to the AP service

I don't know, they certainly attacked our zone a lot better than I've ever seen a Hewitt team. I think the only coach I wouldn't take over Hewitt at this point would be Sherman Dillard.

I'm sure there's an FPYC volunteer coach Hewitt's better than.
