Congratulations to Coach Larranaga and the Green and Gold!
Just to finally be mentioned in the same vain with more nationally known programs is a testamant to coach Larranaga and the program he's built. Maybe soon the rest of the country will recognize us as more than the "other" Washington D.C. area "George" school (George Washington and Georgetown being the others)

Congratulations to Coach Larranaga, Tony Skinn (clutch shot), Jai Lewis (see you in the NFL), Will Thomas, Lamar Butler, the rest of the team, staff, and the entire Green and Gold Nation!

As a GMU alum in the middle of ACC country (Raleigh, NC), it's great to see Mason right there with NC State and UNC and Duke (o.k., maybe not Duke, but you know what I mean).

Keep it up, boys, and we are looking forward to not only our first ever win in the field of 64, but maybe a few?!?!?
