so NCAA or NIT you'll buy me a beer? and if we make neither I'll buy you a beer? Sounds like a bet.

What is the basis for your prediction that Mason will finish 5th?

He thinks this is a track & field message board.

 

[GMUgemini]

He thinks this is a track & field message board.

Finishing 5th would be a disappointment for our track teams.

 

[The Great PATSby]

Remember when finishing 5th was also a disappointment for our basketball team?

 

[GSII]

vcu seemed to always finish 4th or 5th but win the tourney. maybe someone can fact check me on this to see. I'm curious how many conf tourney titles vcu has won.

In the A10, zero. In the CAA 5 (three of which came at our expense). In the Metro, zero. In the Sun Belt 3.

Beat me to it. The CAA tournament champs and who they beat are listed on p. 2 of this link: http://www.caasports.com/documents/2014/6/8/recordbook14mbask.pdf

Raider, we make NCAA I buy you a case of beer. NIT, I buy you one beer. Nothing, we both cry in our beer.

 

[Patriotsince81]

Another 20 loss season, you buy me a case!

 

[Plink833]

You are leaving off Dec 6 at Northern Iowa.

You are leaving off Dec 6 at Northern Iowa.

Again, what is your source? I have not seen that anywhere else. Not saying you're wrong, just want an answer.

A friend inside the AD. Dec 6 is at Northern Iowa and we have one game left to fill that they are struggling to find someone for.

I remember we had a post on the BBall schedule board that said we wanted an OOC for January.

Do you think that's the one we're struggling to fill?

 

[GMURaider]

If we can't find a home game would anyone be opposed to a one off guarantee game like we did against Duke in 06?

Maybe, we can get it on national TV like that game was?

Help get Mason back in the national limelight which is what we all desperately want!

A, getting pounded by a top 10 team in the early season won't do much to get us back in the national spotlight and,

B, considering how we finished the season last year, I doubt any guarantee game will be on either CBS or ESPN (maybe ESPNU).

You don't think we could play Wichita State or Gonzaga tough for example?

If University of South Florida is available, the AD should definitely try and schedule a game with them. Mason has played against them twice already and both resulted in a loss by only a few points. Both teams play very similar to one another.

Sorry GMURaider but I am going to have to agree with GMUgemini, getting pounded by a top 10 team isn't going to help a whole lot. If USF is open, Mason should schedule a game day with them.

 

[Afton Mtn Patriot]

We crushed USF last year...oh wait...
