2019-20 Schedule Thread

Count me in on the Heart-well bandwagon.
I expect him to handle 25 mpg at point with X and an off ball guy handling the rest.

Really one of my three keys to the season. The other two being Mar development and better three-point percentage, most notably from Greene.

I mean you could throw a lot of other stuff in there, like with Calixte and Wilson but all I really care about is defense and rebounding and some garbage buckets from them, and Oduro. Which I think they'll generally provide.

Limiting turnovers, too, especially the dumb ones.

Improved shooting, 40-minute effort on D, no dumb turnovers and I think we will be fine.

Well yes, but essentially you named better offense, defense and less turnovers. I mean, I don't disagree...

I mean, if Hartwell handles 25 mpg at the point that in effect is limiting turnovers..if he isn't doing that I think you'll see more of those bigger, no natural PG lineups we could experiment with.

Which I think is bad longterm as it forces some of our limited scorers to concentrate on ballhandling.

Agreed. To me last year it seamed like the team was too unselfish on offense and tried to force passes which caused a butt load of turnovers. Some of the players just need to shoot more.

I think we can all agree we want better offense, defense and fewer turnovers lol.

 

[GMUgemini]

I think you can just extrapolate it down to treating every possession like it is the most important possession of the game. We had a tendency to get loose or take possessions off when we got up.

...and to score more points than the other team.

That's a myth. No study has conclusively proven that more points than the opposing team equals a win. Stop believing the liberal media bias. #MAGA

Last year's conference schedule was released on 9/6
Seems like we have 3 weeks and a few days of waiting

But John Madden told me so!

Whatever happened to the minimum RPI or whatever for non-conference scheduling in the A-10? I remember hearing about that when Mason first joined, was that never a real thing?

If that was indeed an A-10 thing, I'm sure there's something similar still in place. The RPI which had more of an emphasis on strength of schedule was replaced with NET. Some of the differences include scoring margin and net offensive and defensive efficiency. It seems like trying to schedule for a better ranking chance is harder to do with the NET formula.

some of their fans are as delusional as our homers talking about how Austin Peay, Princeton, and Radford will be better than we think....

I'm shocked they don't have at least 1 road game where they are getting paid. Figured a program like that would need some quick $$

their basketball stadium is being rebuilt this year and they are splitting their home games between two different arenas.. I too thought they would take some buy games since they don't really have a home court advantage this season

To be fair, we don't have a home court advantage most years
