2023 A10 tournament - Game 33: #5 GMU vs #4 St. Louis.

[GSII]

Can't even get it below twenty. Pathetic

 

[mkaufman1]

I am so tired of losing in the quarters. Sigh.

Bad day.
NIT bid is not on the table.
Does this team play in a one of the other post-season tournaments?

Please no. We got taken to the wood shed...best to call it a year.

I hope not. Nothing good will come from it. We aren’t a young team that needs more games.

 

[Where's the party?]

Our free throw shooting has improved over our run and that's the only reason we lost the last game. Add to that our defense is 10x better and we have a healthy team with 4 guys that can shoot three's and I really like our chances in this game.

Team nobody wants to play - 65
Team with a stupid mascot - 60

Well I guess I missed on this prediction .....

On the bright side, we won't have posters demanding CKE get a bump and extension after this.

 

[Patriot Lawdog]

In the end just kind of meh season...Slightly disappointing. If you asked me at the beginning of the year, I'd probably want to win 2 to 3 more games and 1 more game in the conference tourney. The end of the season saved it from being a full on dumpster fire, but not what i had hoped for.

Saw that this is the first postseason that Davidson has failed to reach the semifinals since joining the A10 and we have never made the semifinals in the A10. Wow.

 

[mkaufman1]

No to the cbi. No. No. No.

Or vcu has been in Finals in 6 of their 10 seasons in A10.

Sad that the season is over. Son has a soccer game Monday night so I won't get out to the Coaches Show this year but hope to see you out at some Mason Baseball games this Spring.

Is there a Coaches Show on Monday as a season wrap up?

 

[Jack Strop]

Welp... I'm gonna lie back on the couch, pound Girl Scout cookies, clog my arteries, and get fat.

St. Louis ran on jet fuel today. Mason? On candle wax. Great February for our team. Time now to sit back and see what CKE can do in the off-season.

 

[psyclone]

Now 16-4 when both Ronnie and Ticket are in the lineup! Keep it going!

Alas, 16-5 with both of them playing.

 

[hoopsjunkie75]

Not sure what happened, we came out looking like we were in this one then after the U8 we just looked defeated.

I saw that too, Mason tied the game at 23-23 but we were already acting as if the game had been lost; strange [sad] to watch.

 

[Patriotsince81]

Well shoot. Some progress made this year but still a long way to go to be elite. Today was a sh&t show. Sigh.. I had hoped for better.

Not built to trade baskets all game. We needed our defense to carry us and they just got absolutely carved up by a team that was flowing on offense with multiple scoring options to go to.

Is there a Coaches Show on Monday as a season wrap up?

I saw there is one scheduled for March 13.

Was hoping Bill and CKE would have a special guest, the A10T championship trophy. ~Sigh~

Yes, the last 7 games, before today, was great fun. I was even thinking perhaps a NIT bid might be in store with another win or two. But....
All in all I would have to say the season was a disappointment. Too many early season and conference "shoulda wons" that we didn't, and then today's debacle.
I'm really hoping Kim can get some top flight recruits and not depend so much on the portal. That just hasn't really worked.
I'd rather have a young team (along with Josh and Ticket) that he can develop. Two more contract years plus a one year extension seems reasonable if he goes that route. If he insists on being primarily a portal guy, and we don't get any better, then, well, I don't know. Two?
And no to the CBI. This team is too old to benefit.

Are there any more games left or is the season over now?
