In a Nutshell

Anchored by the emergence of leading scorer Sherrod Wright, the Patriots protect their home court in two games against conference foes

The Fine Print

College basketball has traditionally been played on hardwood ever since an early experiment with a trampoline floor sent James Naismith's son into orbit. Watch some just-barely earthbound action with this GrouponLive deal to see the George Mason University Patriots men's basketball team play at the Patriot Center.

The Scouting Report

With the departure of three seniors—including Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Year Ryan Pearson—from last year's 24-win squad, the success of the Patriots' men’s basketball team hinged on the emergence of new stars. Enter junior guard Sherrod Wright. An effective role player last year, the 6’4” sharpshooter has truly become the team's centerpiece, pouring in 18.2 points per game while shooting a sizzling 53.6% from the field through 14 games. Second-year head coach Paul Hewitt has led his revamped roster to an 8–6 record—including victories over Virginia and Richmond—despite the absence of any true seniors to provide leadership and build camaraderie by stealing underclassmen's sweatbands.

George Mason Patriots

Every year, the NCAA men's basketball tournament is a three-week saga of single-elimination suspense, where athletic juggernauts must fight for their records and overlooked programs have the chance to shine. In 2006, the George Mason Patriots penned their own March Madness Cinderella story by unseating powerhouses Michigan State, North Carolina, and Connecticut to become the lowest seed ever to advance to the Final Four. The Patriots' historic run left fans gasping for air and basketballs everywhere reaching for the nearest pump before the team finally bowed out to the eventual champions, Florida, in the national semifinal.

Though the Patriots' Final Four berth garnered tremendous national attention, George Mason's athletic prowess extends beyond the basketball court. In their proud history, the Patriots have won NCAA championships in multiple sports, including men's indoor track and field and women's soccer.

Groupon Says

The Groupon Guide to: Forgiveness

An old saying suggests that "to err is human; to forgive, divine." This saying was obviously itself written by a human, as revealed by the glaring error of spelling error incorrectly. Forgive the humans in your life with this guide to forgiveness:

Hear Them Out: Your loved one may have a perfectly valid reason for betraying you. What appears on the surface to be a romantic dalliance between your best friend and your spouse may be an innocent case of two people rehearsing a play about CPR.

Settle the Score: You can balance out any friendship with a karmic retribution. For instance, if your house floods while your friend was house sitting for you, force them to fill your newly aquatic basement with serenity-provoking koi fish.

Accept Their Apology: Be magnanimous, but always remember—genuine remorse can only be expressed in the form of suitcases brimming with hastily stuffed cash.

Are you a forgiving person? Find out in today's Groupon Guide.
