There is that. Maybe I saw something different. It was during the game.Though I do think CBS dropped the ball when they were talking about Tony Skinn. On the monitor in the background they had the George Mason star logo and a picture of Kim English uh-oh
I remember this game well. Barea had his hair gelled, as was the style at the time, so we chanted "hair gel" at him from the pep band. Constantly. We didn't let up. He had a terrible game. It was awesome.For a trip down memory lane, it was 18 years ago today when senior JUCO transfer PG Tony Skinn had his most memorable defensive performance. On January 19, 2006, Tony Skinn set the Mason and CAA single game record of 9 steals in Mason's 74-63 victory vs. Northeastern at the Patriot Center.
Northeastern's senior PG J.J. Barea, who scored his 2,000th career point in the game and went on to play 14 seasons in the NBA, shot just 6-21 from the field (2-11 3-pt. FG's) and had 8 turnovers - https://nuhuskies.com/news/2006/1/19/MBB_0609101131.aspx

Only 3312 attended. Interesting.
Fast break points!!??
Attendance was pretty bad until the year after the Final Four (we averaged 3,900 that year).
Edit: if you saw 2,500 reading pdfs on a phone with every D1 school’s attendance can get confusing. 2,500 was Gardner-Webb’s average in 2005, which is the school alphabetically right before us.
Wow!!Fast break points -NU 9,MASON 16.
Points off turnovers -NU 8,MASON 23
KE was checking on job openings, not recruits.Absolutely great point. KE stared at his phone which was very rude. Tony is the man!!
