DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - Upstart George Mason turned defending champion North Carolina a whole different shade of blue.
Forwards Will Thomas and Jai Lewis dominated up front, and the 11th-seeded Patriots dug out of an early 16-2 hole to upset the Tar Heels, 65-60 on Sunday.
George Mason (25-7) became the first Colonial Athletic Association team to reach the round of 16 since 1988, when Richmond went. The Patriots will play Wichita State on Friday in the Washington Regional semifinals.
George Mason got an at-large bid, which rubbed some of the power conferences the wrong way. After a rough start, the Patriots switched to a recently installed zone defense and showed they belonged, knocking off the region's No. 3 seed.
Carolina (23-8) faded down the stretch, missing four straight shots and repeatedly fouling. George Mason went 9-of-12 from the line in the final 3 minutes to pull away.
It was yet another second-round stunner for coach Roy Williams, who suffered one of his worst in the same arena 16 years ago. His Kansas team was considered a title contender in 1992, but got knocked off by Texas-El Paso in the second round.
Williams was so upset as it wound down that he picked up his folding chair and slammed it down courtside.

Two days after setting a new school record for wins in a season, Mason broke that mark with its 25th win.
It's the first-ever win for Mason over an ACC school and the 10th-ranked Tar Heels are the highest ranked opponent Mason has ever defeated.

Mason is playing in the round of 16 back in Washington D.C. Chances are extremely good to move on to the Elite 8, with the D.C. game being basically a home game. Let's fill those stands, Mason people!!
Mason already defeated Wichita State in Kansas about a month ago, so lets hope for a repeat!
