Max Heartbreak Theory Says George Mason Will Win
Philadelphia bids for championships are supposed to end with afflicting "oh so close" agony. So the fates decree. See last year's Super Bowl, the '04 Flyers, St. Joe's two years ago, Smarty Jones, '01 Sixers, '93 Phils. Last year's Villanova team fell 1 point short to North Carolina, the team that won it all.
