• Junior F Mike Morrison finished with 10 points and 11 rebounds against Villanova. He secured the double-double in dramatic fashion, with a game-clinching dunk in the final seconds.
• Senior G Isaiah Tate came awfully close to being the goat for George Mason in the opener. He fouled Corey Fisher shooting a three with 31 seconds left, and Fisher made all three free throws to give Villanova a 57-56 lead. That didn’t last long, fortunately for Tate, as Mason scored the final five points of the game to win it.
• Senior G Cam Long was the focal point of the Villanova defensive effort, and it showed. He was held to seven points, more than eight below his season average.
• Senior G Cam Long, who led the Patriots in scoring at 15.1 points a game, was named to the All-Colonial Athletic Association first team. It was the third straight season was named to an All-CAA team. He finished eighth in scoring, sixth in steals, 11th in field-goal percentage, 12th in assists and was the league’s top 3-point shooter (44 percent).
• Junior F Ryan Pearson was a second-team All-CAA selection after finishing in the top 12 in the conference in scoring (14.7 ppg) and rebounding (6.9 rpg) and coming in fifth in field-goal percentage (52.6 percent).
• Sophomore G Luke Hancock, all-Rookie Team performer a year ago, landed on the All-CAA third team. He averaged 11.1 points a game and was third in the conference in assists at 4.4 per game while ranking fifth in assist/turnover ratio and seventh in free-throw percentage (82.0 percent).
Prediction
Bucks "struggle" early and the game is close for about 15-20 minutes. Then talent overwhelms Cinderella and the Bucks roll to a match up with Kentucky. Final 79-61 Ohio State
