George Mason's psychic RPI (PRPI?) has doubled in the 10 idle days since their Coaches vs. Cancer adventure in Winston-Salem. Before coming up just short in overtime against formerly nationally-ranked
Wake Forest, they surgically dismantled
California-Irvine. UCI, as you might remember, went on to throttle
Stanford up at their place.Valley power Creighton nearly derailed
WVU's Pittsnogle Express in March (a 63-61 first-round loss), and open the season in the shadow of
UNI's expectations. You know that they'll be bringing the
Funk to the Patriot Center tonight. And then there's that burgeoning CAA vs. MVC thing, a who's-the-best-mid-major-conference debate that will dominate sport talk radio right around 2008. As some old-timey radio announcer might say, "Hide the matches grandma, some barns are gonna burn tonight!"
