George Mason's Bracketbuster opponent is Lamar

The school has announced that they will be playing Lamar on February 18 at 4 p.m. for ESPN's annual Bracketbusters weekend. The game will be televised shown on ESPN3.com.  Lamar is out of the Southland conference (RPI #116) and is 13-8 overall.  Not the sexy pick but we knew Mason probably wasn't going to get a premiere matchup with their resume. 

The two teams do have history as George Mason beat Lamar 65-63 in the the Patriot's first Division I post-season appearance during the first round of the 1986 NIT.
