Game 10 Final: Semifinals - George Mason 53 - UNC Wilmington 41

> Live on-location in Richmond, VA at the CAA Tournament

Well the CAA Tournament Final is set and there is going to be plenty of green and yellow in the building tomorrow. Despite hitting just four field goals in the second half George Mason did enough defensively to come away with the win. The Patriots held UNC Wilmington to just 28.6% shooting from the field, including a paltry 4-23 from beyond the arc.

Folarin Campbell led the way with a team high 15 points, doing the majority of his damage at the charity stripe where he was a solid 9-14. Louis Birdsong continued his strong play in the tournament, scoring 10 points on 5-7 shooting and Will Thomas cleaned up on the glass with 11 rebounds.

Vladimir Kuljanin played a great game inside for UNCW recording a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds but it wasn’t enough. A day after running Delaware out of the building, the Seahawks had all types of struggles with the Mason defense.

Well day 3 is all done here at the Richmond Coliseum. I’m going to head out for some dinner then get back to my hotel to catch the two WCC semifinal games tonight. As always be sure to check back later tonight for my final thoughts and awards for the day!
