2023 A10 Tournament. Game 32 - #5 GMU vs Winner of #12 Richmond and #13 UMass Game.

[Patriot Lawdog]

Ugly win. UGLY. A win is a win but got to play better vs St. Louis tomorrow afternoon

I was complaining all game, but an 11-2 run to end it is totally clutch. Survive that first one and move on!!! Onions!!!

 

[MASONscott]

Such an ugly win but I'll take it. St Louis will kill us if we play that way tomorrow.

88.9% FT was a pleasant game changer

 

[phoenix-arizona]

20 wins is a great goal to hit.

There are more than a dozen things to complain about today, but this time of year it’s all about winning and advancing. Here’s hoping we got rid of any jitters and clean up some of the turnovers and cold shooting tomorrow.

survive and advance! AND A mkaufman sighting!!! BIg #1 Green shirt! (or is it #10?)

At this point of the year all that matters is did you win: yes or no? Everything else is gravy. Great toughness to stay in that one in a game where we all know previous Mason teams would have folded and given up a 10 point run. Love the matchup against SLU tomorrow.

And make those damn layups.

Totally agree....In a weird way, I always thinks it benefits a team in conference tournament setting to get that one win where you don't necessarily play well. I feel confident heading into tomorrow. I'll what did like that REALLY matter this time of year...FT % today.

 

[Patriotsince81]

Wow, freaking ugly. BUT, win and advance. FU A10 we're winning it all.

Yup, got our 'clunker' out of the way but still extended our streak... Onwards!

Not how, but how many!

Playing Richmond is always gonna be a battle, no matter what. Just how it is. You survive and advance and we did. Even if they've been close Ws, Kim English is now Richmond's daddy.

Stomped Spidey, lets beat SLU and advance to Saturday for the first time as a member of the A-10.

MINDSET MINDSET MINDSET

Couldn't watch but listened to the last 5 minutes on the radio. We were down 4 when my brother texted that we had won. (Radio delay) Very relaxing last 4 minutes.
Tomorrow, 8 in a row!

At least we’ve ruled out him being a jinx!

Yep. But this is our identity. We're not going to blow teams out. We're going to win the A10 by relying on our defensive effort to keep our opponents in check. Low scoring affairs from here on out.

Agreed.

Then again, if we WANT to blow teams out from here to the Final Four, I'd be fine with it.

 

[KAOriginal]

BTW while Im still imbibing--Blake Jones' unexpected 3 helped put that game over the top for us....so all his haters can suck it.

So would I! It's much easier on the nerves to win like that than having to sweat it out for 2 hrs.
