The George Mason men's basketball team extended their season Tuesday night with a game-winning tip-in from sophomore forward Erik Copes with 0.6 seconds remaining. 

Copes finished with 14 points and three rebounds--one of which led to the last-second putback for the Patriots. The shot was his second game-winning shot on the season. 

Junior guard Sherrod Wright led Mason with 20 points on 6-of-11 shooting from the field and a perfect 7-of-7 from the free throw line. 

Northeastern University's Jonathan Lee stood at the top of the arc, dribbling down the remaining seconds of the first CAA semifinal on Sunday against George Mason University. The crowd at the Richmond Coliseum rose to their feet, a smaller attendance than seen in year's past but rowdy nonetheless.

Lee found an opening on the right side and drove to the rim for an uncontested layup with 3.0 seconds left in regulation, leading to a 69-67 victory over the Patriots. 

The 2013 CAA men’s basketball tournament will have an unfamiliar feel compared to tournaments of years past. The field of seven teams is the least amount of teams in the tournament since 2001.

With Virginia Commonwealth opting to relocated to the Atlantic 10 conference and Old Dominion and Georgia State on the verge of leaving, the CAA tournament may have lost some of its luster from previous years when schools were fighting for at-large NCAA bids.
