Coach L Gets Set For Another Year of Mason Madness

I'm excited that basketball season is around the corner. I hope to get to a couple Maryland hoops games this season as they try to get back into the NCAA Tournament after a two year absence. I've got my calendar circled for the BB&T Classic on December 3rd at Verizon Center. Three games: George Mason vs Bucknell, George Washington vs Virginia Tech and Maryland vs Notre Dame.

They got two local commitments for next season, both guards. One from DeMatha and one from Woodbridge.

I think next year will be the year they start to reap from the benefits of the Final Four appearance. It will be interesting to see who they get and from where. I'm surprised they got a player from DeMatha.
