2013-2014 OOC Opponents Tracker

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

UMASS is the truth. That game against Clemson ended being only a 6 point win, but it really wasn't even close. Clemson got some cheap 3's late to make it look competitive.

And they are ranked #1 RPI early. Their SOS is ranked #4

Yeah - if we don't beat St. Joe's I fear an 0-3 start in the A-10.

Jim, Don't forget URI early.

 

[PDGL Hoops]

Jim, Don't forget URI early.

The first match up against URI isn't an A-10 match up. It is a carry over from a 2 home 1 away deal before we switched conferences.

 

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

So that game won't count in the A-10 final standings, it will be considered OOC?

 

[GSII]

Umass and St. Louis are top two teams in a-10. the love fest for vcu clouded the truth.

 

[TweederGMU]

UMASS is the real deal. Penciled that one in as a L

Correct - will be an OOC game.

Dayton upset #11 Gonzaga in the Maui Invitational. So much for Gonzaga's futile attempt to become the George Mason of the West.

 

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

A10 is really kicking a** early on. St Louis plays #10 Wisconsin tonight.

I've watched a few UMass games so far this season, and yea, if we don't play exceptionally well against them we will get blown out. They are a legit team, better than vcu from what I've seen.

 

[JBiggs]

Combined records of our first five opponents (Division I games only): 7-18. Average RPI: 187.8.

Combined records of our next five opponents: 20-5. Average RPI: 112.4.

We need Erik Copes back badly for this upcoming stretch.

Playing down to their competition? I'd say they've just about nailed being GMU of the west

Gw beats miami. Only caught last 2min of OT. But the announcer said something to the effect of "when Gw switched to zone from man to man" they basically were able to find a way to beat miami. #wishourcoachcoulddothis

I think that says more about our former coach's inability to adjust to a zone.

Tom, it was nice to see actual coaching/adjustments being made instead of egos getting in the way.

We saw a few adjustments with zone today. But the GW boards are saying it was playing man to man defense that got them the win.

Iona (3-2) smoked Dunk City and won 90-72 at Florida Gulf Coast yesterday; their first game since beating us.
Princeton improved to 5-1 with a 13 point win at Bucknell over the weekend.
