2019-20 Schedule Thread

Keir at PG isnt and shouldnt happen. He cant dribble as good and isnt as fast as Hartwell. Kier operates in the middle of a zone and from the wing.

 

[Falco]

Hartwell will run the point.

Looks like we got JMU at Home Nov. 16.

Wow JMU coming to fix. I wonder if DP will get his a** beat by whatever the jmu's coach's name is.

That would be problematic for us Kool-aid, uh, I mean Mtn. Dew drinkers. I can only take so much. Losing to JMU is not acceptable.

If you recall what happened last season between them, I don't think he meant losing to JMU on the court.

I had forgotten. Too funny

The post-game presser with him is just too much!

 

[patriotchild]

Really surprised they’re coming back. Are we paying for this game?

I still have no idea what dave did but he really pissed off that coach. Can only hope for more. I’d loved to watch their coach leave all butt hurt again.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think we should be doing a home and home with JMU in the near future. I know we have a rivalry and nostalgia, but we should put them in the guarantee game zone that they deserve. If you win even on the road nobody cares from a resume standpoint and a loss even on the road kills postseason opportunities early in the season.

I know we haven’t been close to the NIT or NCAA consideration the last few years and I understand you have to play somebody. I just think if we want to be the program we are capable of being in the A-10, you can’t play return games against JMU.

NCAA rules limit a team to 27 games plus one multi-team event. If the Cayman Islands event is only three games - which it appears it is - it looks like the max number of games for GMU is 30.

You act like they are turning down a series with UVA for JMU. This is what the program can get right now.

College Basketball Insider Jon Rothstein is doing his A-10 highlight tweets today... feel free to follow along.. He is generally pretty accurate.. Has us 9th this year (I think somewhere 7-10) and he has none of our guys on any of the all-A10 type of lists thus far... He is really low on UMASS IMO put pretty much right where I have the rest of the conference as well.

Also important is the lack of GMU players for any of the individual award mentions

fair... we have no transfers (that rules out that top 5)... freshman class is extremely weak in comparison to top A-10 teams (that rules us out when going against 3 or 4 stars).... Kier getting snubbed for First Team is really the only thing we can gripe about (I would take Evans and the two Davidson guys) over him as well.... maybe we see a guy on an All-Defensive team?! Hopefully they are wrong about the "breakout" player award.

These players don't respond well to being mentioned in anything so this is good to me.

Nor do they respond well to their own success.
