After watching Mason become rattled and fall apart during the opening of the second half at vcu, the game-plan for Fordham was simple—try to rattle Mason and make them self-destruct. In other words, play physically, foul-foul-foul, wear out the ref's whistles to get away with junkyard play, get under Mason's skin, and see if Mason will crumble and implode.

For the most part, Fordham was successful. Tsimbila was a motor mouth all game. On several occasions, I spied him attempting to goad KD into saying something stupid and get a technical. Tsimbila succeeded in getting Haynes to bite. Fordham players' arms were flailing left and right trying to swat a Mason player in the face. They bopped us good a few times, and at least twice within 10 feet of a referee—and worse, no call! And still, Fordham had two players foul out and three players with four fouls, 30 PFs in total and there should have been 20 more!!

Last night is what desperate bottom-feeders do. Mason prevailed. Move on to Duquesne (who, by the way, will likey try the same schtick... we'll see).
