Cinderella, your pumpkin is here

It's ending for George Mason, the Cinderella team that's trailing by double digits as time runs out in their NCAA final four game against Florida.

My picks for the final game, all based on sour grapes:

1. If LSU wins it all, it'll feel better that they beat Duke. There's honor in being bested by the very best team, the team that wins it all.
2. If Florida wins it all, our local boys, who won the NIT Thursday night, can feel pretty good about themselves, having blown out Florida twice in the regular season.

Random comment on collegiate sports: USC, who played for the NIT championship (OK, it's not the NCAA, but it is a national championship, fercryinoutloud!) had to travel to NYC with their mascot, 2 cheerleaders and NO pep band. I'll bet they'd never do that to the football team...

Back to Cinderella:
Final Score: Florida 73, George Mason 58.
