Any suggestions where to watch this game, for those of us who aren’t road tripping and don’t have ESPN+?

YouTube replay the day after the game.

Go to a bar/restaurant and ask if they can put the game on one of their TVs for you

Yes! This!

Get any bar/restaurant to put this game on one of their screens. It'll force others to watch and hopefully we can suck in a few more fans that way.

I suggest going to Velocity Wings Fairfax, which is across the street from Mason. I have asked them before and they will put the game on a TV for you

Seems obvious enough, but I haven’t had good luck getting ESPN+ games on at sports bars. Not that I’ve looked far and wide, but I’ve asked about JMU football games at places near me and been told they didn’t have it. I guess even sports bars don’t want to spring for extra subscriptions. I like the Velocity Wings suggestion though.

I'm assuming a win locks up at least the 2 seed in the a10 tournament?

From what I see, #2 seed is already locked. Only Loy-Chi can catch us, if they win out and we lose (NO!!!) out.

However, we hold the tie-breaker with them after we beat them in our only game with them this year.

Horrible cameras today

I can’t even see the hoop half the time. They need to pan out!

 

[GMUYoda]

Great start lol

Last 5 Mason possessions resulted in 5 straight TOs

Make that 6 in a row

 

[Aldousflux]

6 turnovers in 5 minutes…geez

 

[DRK331]

Mason down 5-10 in the 1st half

 

[Falco]

I think teams have figured out a vulnerability in O’Connor. Obviously he’s not a true pg, but he has more turnovers lately than normal. Past few games

 

[EXpatriot13]

Our offense is so brutal to watch. It seems every FGA is a struggle, it should not be this difficult to get more clean looks.

 

[DRK331]

Mason down 11-15

 

[GMUgemini]

I think this team wants to break 30 TOs in this game. Not the stat to be chasing guys.

 

[DRK331]

Mason down 26-28 with 2 mins left in the first half

 

[CarlD]

I have on the Duquesne radio feed. Their color guy is complaining about the officiating pretty much non-stop. Their PxP guy is good though.

 

[GMUYoda]

35-32 Duquesne at the half

 

[gmutom]

Still a lot of time left in this game, but no team is going to fear playing us in the A10 Tournament. In fact, with our average-at-best offense and propensity for committing turnovers (11 already today), I’m sure most teams are praying we are on their side of the bracket.

Not to mention early season defensive glass woes. Gave up 15 to Fordham, gave up a bad one to end the half in this game. vcu also exploited us there.

Simple stuff. Don’t force it. Box out. Force them to one shot. Take care of the basketball.
