From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2006 CAA men's basketball tournament was held from March 3–6, 2006 at the Richmond Coliseum in Richmond, Virginia.[1] The winner of the tournament was UNC Wilmington, who received an automatic bid to the 2006 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. George Mason, who lost to Hofstra in the semi-finals of the tournament, earned an at-large bid to the 2006 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament, the CAA's first since 1986. George Mason would advance to the Final Four in the NCAA Tournament, the first CAA team to do so.
