RICHMOND, Va. – Folarin Campbell and George Mason know all about magical postseason runs. After ending William & Mary’s string of dramatic victories Monday night, the Patriots hope to have another one of their own in the making.

Campbell scored 20 points and Will Thomas added 18 and 13 rebounds as the Patriots (23-10) beat the Tribe 68-59 to win the Colonial Athletic Association tournament.

The victory earned George Mason and coach Jim Larranaga a return to the tournament that made them America’s favorite underdogs two years ago. In that NCAA tournament run, the Patriots stunned Michigan State, North Carolina, Wichita State and Connecticut in succession – an improbable advance to the Final Four that ended in a 73-58 loss to eventual champion Florida. The Tribe (17-16) was on the same kind of run in the CAA tournament until meeting up with the Patriots.

MAAC player of the year Jason Thompson led Rider with 22 points and 12 rebounds.

Davidson wins Southern Conference

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. – Another stellar performance by Stephen Curry, another Southern Conference title for No. 23 Davidson. Curry scored 23 points to lead the Wildcats back into the NCAA tournament with their third straight league crown and fourth since 2002, beating Elon 65-49.

Besides extending the country’s longest winning streak to 22 games, Davidson (26-6) continued its SoCon dominance. It has won 36 straight against league opponents, including all 23 games this season.

Curry’s been a large reason why. The Southern Conference player of the year hit three of his team’s first four baskets. The stylish sophomore’s 3-pointer early in second period gave Davidson a 39-26 lead, then he followed with two foul shots. Elon (14-19) saw its surprising run to the title game end.

SAN DIEGO – Rob Jones and De’Jon Jackson keyed a huge second-half run for the San Diego Toreros, who stunned No. 20 Gonzaga 69-62 to win the West Coast Conference tournament championship game and clinch their first NCAA tournament berth since 2003.
