JaJuan Smith and Tennessee felt slighted, and it showed in their shoes.
Looking for the next George Mason? Sad to say, but it won't be George Mason. America's NCAA darling two years ago was just another first-round underdog this time around — overmatched and never really in it Thursday night in a 68-50 loss to Notre Dame in the East Regional.
