He was not referencing physical distance at all. Yes, he meant better to play teams at home where home court advantage could turn an L into a W. He thinks RI will beat us either way, but playing at home may give us the edge or at least a better shot against Dayton and SLU.

Unless, of course, he subscribes to the infamous "home court disadvantage theory".

Don't buy that argument either...it was a three point game here last year. But I also know sleeperpick isn't a fan of most of our team, so I'll give him a pass on being pessimistic that we can't hang with mighty URI.

LOL "isn't a fan of most of our team" because I said Kam Murrell and Danny Dixon weren't good enough to play on community college teams? come on man. Been to every game and sponsored the team since I graduated three years ago. We are all fans. Some of us just aren't fanboys. I am certainly a fanboy of Otis and Jaire though and Ian Boyd is slowly getting there as well.

and yes @FreeGunston12 your reading comprehension is correct

I haven't drank the amount of koolaid you have. will put down the beer in the gold room and switch to that from now on. I always root for everyone in a Mason uniform.... but I am also realistic and not blinded by my fandom like some

You've certainly had plenty of someone else's Flavoraid, that's for sure.

So...any update on that Louisville rumor? I imagine GMUhoops had some solid info, right? I just can't find any other sources to corroborate the story.

According to Bob Sacamano I heard the following

Mason could play basketball at Louisville
Mason may play basketball at Louisville
Mason may play basketball against Louisville on a day that ends in y...

More details to come.

Mason at Louisville 2nd game of the season. Book it.

So the home opener is usually around the second Friday of November, which would make sense because the Cancun Classic home games are November 16th and November 18th, which means that Mason at Louisville is probably sometime between November 10th and November 15th.

Yeah, I expect the home opener to be Friday the 10th (unless it's Saturday like it was last year).

If so, then Louisville game on Monday the 13th would make the most sense.

It would be nice to host them in '18 but if they are paying us, I don't mind taking their $$.

Didn't sound like a home-and-home, so hopefully we're getting a good payout and we give them a Penn State-style smackdown at their own place.
