A-10 Tourney Thread (Games 31 and beyond?)

Hate to say it, but -- looking at the rosters -- there's no reason we should lose to Fordham

You might have overlooked the guy at the top of our roster, last name is Hewitt.

Say wha? Did G Mas add someone(s) with talent since Saturday?

Mandell Thomas

"The Rams will be led into the championship by a pair of rookies who are having outstanding seasons, guard Eric Paschall, who returns to action after missing two games with an injury, and forward Christian Sengfelder. They are the only freshman teammates in the nation to be averaging 10.0 ppg and 5.0 rpg with Paschall leading the Rams, averaging 16.5 ppg and 5.6 rpg, while Sengfelder is averaging 11.4 ppg and 7.3 rpg.

Not to be outdone by the rookies, junior guard Mandell Thomas is second on the team, averaging 13.4 ppg, and he became the 35th player in Fordham history to score more than 1,000 career points, entering the championship with 1,039 career points, good for 31st on the all-time scoring list. He also has 68 steals this season, the fifth best single season total in school history."

Yeah, one of these guys will burn Mason and give us an 0-4 record against mighty Fordham. I thought Fordham might be have backslid a little these last couple of games - didn't realize Paschall was out. At some point, Fordham will have the all to predictable 10 minute, 20-2 run to put GMU away.

Hewitt will be unable to stop the run because he will have burned all of his timeouts at the 16:15, 16:10, 16:05, 12:20, and 12:05 marks of the first half.

Nope. You never take shots at the players.

Again, your act is stale.

All of which will stop our momentum and be called right after we score.

 

[GreenLantern]

Us - 58
Them - 59
OT

Hewitt gone within 48 hours

 

[GMUSSTN]

More than likely to take out the player who hit the momentum-shifting shot because Hewitt didn't "like" how he rotated on defense 6 possessions ago.

The ignore button is your friend. Or if you don't want to do that, just look at who is posting and ignore everything he posts ... it's worked wonders for me.

WE ARE 1.5 FAVORITES FOR SOME REASON

All good points. But I lime to point out what a hypocrite the poster is.

Unless he wants to put up his D1 stats I don't think I need him to always bash our players. Evaluation of a performance is one thing, but to question their "talent" like he is MJ or something....not having it.

T minus about an hour until the Green Machine leaves for Barclays. I have a feeling that there won't be too many other prople from these boards in attendance, but that's just a hunch.

 

[GSII]

Everyone in vegas is taking Mason to cover 2 tonight, when duquene is the clear play.

I'm hoarding all of my money to fund the booze binge I'm having in celebration of Hewitt's firing -- and for the donation I'm making to the athletic department to thank Edwards/Cabrera for doing the right thing.

 

[Walter]

I predict we beat FU. Then we beat vcu. Hewitt doesn't get fired because of the win over vcu. Thus another tourney where vcu screws us.

I know everyone is hating on me for this.....but I keep hearing that Mason will take about anything positive to justify keeping him even to save the buyout even though they dont really want to...

I'm hearing the exact opposite -- that the decision to fire him was made some time ago. It's a done deal. Edwards is just playing everything quiet and strictly by the book to avoid giving Hewitt any opportunity to file an HR grievance down the road.

Geez - if this is the case than GO FORDHAM.

I hope to god that's true....I just dont like what I am seeing in the internal memos being shared.....

I'll root for GMU tonight if this is the case. Hoping for clarification of Mason's stance on gomason.com before the game. I need some guidance.
