Patriots Hit the Road to the Mile High City
By Connect Mason Reporter Mike Foss
The Mason men's basketball team departed for Denver, Colo. on Tuesday where Notre Dame awaits to play them in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday. Over a hundred fans and several major TV networks in the Metropolitan area attended the team's departure from the Patriot Center.
Mason comes into the NCAA Tournament a 12-seed, while Notre Dame is a 5-seed. The 5 vs. 12 game is prone to a 12-seed upset. No. 5-seeds are only 11-9 in the past five years. The last time Mason faced an opponent from the Big East in the NCAA Tournament was in 2006, when they defeated the University of Connecticut in the Regional Final.

Welcome to a video view of the life of those on the sidelines.
In this case, Craig Sager likes to put himself out there for his nice outfit.
And again, Sager can't just grab something from the 70's.
And whenever, absolutely positively, watch your kid on the sideline. Especially when he gets destroyed by a college football player.
Luckily, none of our photographers have been run over by a football player.
