This was the 45th season for the program. Led by fourteenth-year head coach Jim Larranaga, the Patriots were members of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) and played home games on campus at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Virginia. Undefeated at home, George Mason finished the regular season at 25–5 (16–2 in CAA) to win the conference's regular season championship. The Patriots were upset in the semifinals of the conference tournament by fourth-seeded VCU. GMU received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament and were the eighth seed in the East region. They defeated Villanova in the second round (64 teams), then fell to top-ranked Ohio State to finish at 27 7 y. After the season, Larranaga left for the University of Miami and was succeeded by Paul Hewitt, previously the head coach at Georgia Tech. Season notes After a February 15 victory over VCU, the men's basketball team set a new school record with twelve consecutive wins.http://www.gomason.com//ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=25200&ATCLID=205096881 Men's Basketball Blasts VCU for School-Record 12th Straight Victory, 71-51 From August 18 to August 28, the men's basketball team toured Italy and were scheduled to play four games against Italian semi-professional teams.
