A10 Tournament Thread

I “root” for some of the trolls to leave the board too, it doesn’t seem to work with that either. Fortunately the “ignore” feature does.

Enjoy the games, Go Mason!

Ignore is your friend.

The bad boys of blogging are at it again. I'm sitting courtside in someone else's seats. Sat in Feinstein's yesterday:

Game 1: vcu vs Rhode Island

Pregame: Rhode Island has been reeling lately, losing 3 of 5 coming into the tournament after looking invincible for the first 13 games of conference play. I still like them to win against a sloppy vcu team. I’ll be interested to see how much vcu presses today, since their press isn’t very effective and Rhode Island has the guard play to shred it. vcu also has trouble defending the paint, and Rhode Island has a solid scoring big man in Andre Berry, plus the athletic freak Cyril Langevine who’s been finishing really well around the rim lately. That, in addition to their core of guards who specialize in getting to the rim, gives them a big advantage. If they have a weakness it’s that their three-point shooting has abandoned them recently, as they’ve shot 25% or worse from deep in three of their last four.

vcu needs to feature Justin Tillman when Andre Berry is in the game. Rhode Island never plays Berry and Cyril Langevine at the same time, and Langevine can credibly defend Tillman while Berry can’t. Rhode Island brought a respectable crowd but this is a home atmosphere for vcu. Should be a fun one!

I want this game to go to 5 OT so that whoever faces us in the semis is gassed!

Keep up the great work, loving the coverage so far!!

vcu fans are still coming out hard even with their shitty season. I'll give them that. I crashed their pregame at Penn Social and told them they suck.

Rhode Island takes a 3 point lead into the half... 36-33.

These announcers are severely hating on Mason right now. “Lucky to be here” bad call, UMass blah blah blah and we’re not even playing right now.

They talk about UMass as if they are f**king Duke. We beat them 3 f**king times including at their place when they were at full strength.

They seem to really resent Mason. Bush league announcers. It takes 2 seconds to look up these facts, lazy a** commentators.

 

[GreenLantern]

Someone needs to feed these comments to our players. Get them pissed off and fired up!

 

[GMUYoda]

Tillman picks up his 4th foul with 10 mins to go... big blow to vcu

 

[GMUYoda]

URI up 5 70-64 with 42 seconds left to play... want URI to hold on here

 

[GreenLantern]

Looks like I get those vcu tears after all!

 

[dr. gunnie]

Even if it ends up being by only 2 1/2 hours, any time vcu's conference tourney ends before ours, it's a good conference tourney.

[bravesfan]

I know in these situations, we are technically supposed to root for Rhode Island and St. Bonaventure to lose to get another team in...

...I suppose I can start doing that now.

Lol a few over there on their ramnation forums asked if they had a chance for a NIT bid lol

but of course the 8th best team in a down year of a mediocre conference should be in the NIT lol they are so delusional. They also think they are going to be better next year with a roster of no real big men and 7 shooting guards that are all average. Isaac Vann (transfer from Maine) was supposed to be their saving grace this year and he was average. All their marbles are on Marcus Evans (transfer from Rice)

Drink form the well my friend. Drink until there is no more, and then wait until they realize they live in Richmond, wait and then drink some more .....

I just yelled them. I am sitting right behind the tv guys. Might have been me at times you heard yesterday yelling at refs. They can’t mute the announcers mics...
