pretty evenly matched. And to think a couple of years back GW's team (carl elliot, Pops) might have been the D.C. area's best team. Who do you guys like in this one and who will you root for?

The lead thread on GWHoops.com right now is a passive aggressive tour de force entitled "Tips for AU Fans". These two schools are perfect rivalry for each other.
Zero chance the 05-06 Colonials would have sniffed the 05-06 Hoyas. GW's best regular season wins that year were Maryland in the BB&T (NIT team) and Charlotte (also NIT team) on a buzzer beater in the season finale that involved a court rushing. Only game the entire regular season against an NCAA team was at NC State--they lost by 21. Xavier I guess counts b/c they won the A-10 Tourney after the Pops-less Colonials went down in the quarters.
The proof was in the NCAA Tournament...
...which means of course the best team in the DC area in 05-06 was clearly George Mason. ;D

The Eagles have greatly regressed from last year despite returning all of their good players.
Is it the pressure of being in the spotlight (well as much of a spotlight that a Patriot League can get from a journalist not named BUM)? Or is it there crazy "all road OOC" games schedule? They did fairly well in their opener at now top 5 Oklahoma and beat Jacksonville on the road I believe, but they've since fallen apart

Go Eagles. Not only does WG have the legacy of how it became known as WG, but a win for AU helps GU's RPI.
