Every year for a long time know we have had high expectations, perhaps misplaced, for a winning basketball program. No doubt the final four results, which now seemed light years ago set us up for this mindset. Nevertheless, we have all been brought back to reality. No doubt recent teams have played hard and tried their best. Nevertheless, Mason has not found the right formula for a winning tradition. I suppose it is based on the players we recruited or the coaches we have signed. But are we very different than most teams? Every team goes into the season thinking they are going to turn the corner and produce winning results. Alas, isn't this the problem with sports in general. It most often sets you up for disappointment.
But whats interesting is that win or lose I still look forward to watching George Mason basketball. I support these kids, wish them the best and hopefully some day (maybe this year) we will once again get that exhilarating feeling we all once had. I say go beat St. Joeseph. Looking forward to the game. As someone once told me, " you will always miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
