Recap with all my thoughts on the game here:

Quick version: what an awesome, awesome win. For me, the Paulsen/Otis era is defined by how hard they fight no matter the situation, and I love that about them. They had plenty of opportunities to fold in the second half and just kept fighting back. vcu went up 75-64 with 5:15 left in the game, and Mason immediately responded with an Otis Livingston 3 pointer, a stop, and two Otis Livingston free throws to quickly bring the deficit back to 6. vcu then hit what looked like a backbreaking three, and Mason responded with consecutive threes to make it a three point game. This team just battles no matter the situation, and that’s the best kind of team to watch.
EDIT: While I'm up, the vcu boards are well worth your time. Multiple degenerates arguing wholeheartedly that vcu should have fouled to put us on the line when we inbounded with 17 seconds left, even though it would have given Mason the lead.
