Colonial Finals Recap

(1) Virginia Commonwealth 55, (3) George Mason 54
Jessee Pellot-Rosa, a freshman walk-on for the Rams, hit the bottom end
of two free throws to give VCU their first trip to the NCAA tournament since
1996 en route to a 55-54 nail biting victory over the Patriots. His made
attempt came with 1.6 seconds left as the Patriots final attempt to win the
game didn’t come close to the rim.

The Rams led 54-49 with 1:10 left, but the Patriot’s Jai Lewis, who
netted 16 points on the day, scored inside 51.8 left and Troy Skinn hit a
three-pointer to tie the game up. Skinn finished the day with 17 points,
all coming in the second half.
