I didn't see cars, cash, hookers or blow...so despite all that....no "superstars" are going to Dayton.

If you've been to Dayton you know they have the hookers and blow...cash and nice cars are definitely lacking though. Seriously though, seeing the city of Dayton is enough to turn off potential recruits, it's a dump.

It's no longer the richest...Loudoun County is.

First, or second, or tenth out of 3,007 counties. Either way we're well to do.

BTW, remember when Paul Hewitt wanted to turn Jalen Jenkins into a wing?

Paulsen was smart enough to let somebody be who they are, and he's currently shooting 71% from the field for the season.

We're allowed to do that?

Anyone now think that the Paulsen contract extension before this season was a pile of bunk?

I say sign him up 'til 2025—lock him in now!!

   Very proud of our guys' def focus and energy this week in 2 tough road games. Could not happen w/out great work of scout team prepping us!

I used to believe it was outlawed. Paulsen changed the law.

I didn't support the extension. I was never this happy to be wrong before

It's a 7 game win streak in a so-so OOC schedule. I'm not saying the decision is either right or wrong but it seems premature to be lookin to sign him for longer or declare the extension a great move. I hope everyone remembers their current sentiments towards the team when we get the hammer dropped on us by someone in the A10. Like Paulsen said, there are gonna be some nights we look like we've never played basketball before.

That being said I'm as thrilled as everyone with the turnaround since Houston.

They're going to be tested right away in the conference playing four teams who will probably all finish in the top half of the league. It won't take long to see how far we've come (or not) and how far we have to go.

I'm pretty blown vcu is during break. The excitement among students is rising. If it was during school there would be a lot of people there.

I don't care if we're playing the Robinson HS JV team, a 7 game winning streak is a 7 game winning streak. I'll take it any time!!! Go Patriots!!!

DP took a dumpster fire over after 5/6 guys walked when he arrived. He patched together a season and the AD gave him a clean deal for a true 5. Never saw where salary was hiked and if true it was a smart good faith gesture on your future. This guy can coach and the AD seems to know it. This is his first legitimate recruiting class and the future is bright.

While there is a lot of excitement with the way the team has played of late, most people were looking for Paulsen to show that his teams can show consistent improvement. I think he has shown that pretty conclusively.

Compared to whatever the guy before him that was masquerading as a coach showed us, we are like starved animals at an all you can eat buffet. Can't blame us for engorging ourselves at the moment.

We will lose some games. We will even see some moves by Paulsen that we wonder about, but, I would expect those to be the exception. At this point, he would seem to have earned a little benefit of the doubt.

I told you fockers this guy is a helluva coach.

Never been so happy to be right.

I'm actually a little glad that other dude decided to walk...can't even remember what his name was or where he coached...

Two years ago we would be sitting at 3-5 record right now. We will lose some games down the road but it won't be because we don't see any offense or rebounding or effort. We won't ask what the hell is our offensive plan or question why we waste time outs before media breaks. I can take a loss if it's to a better team and we played hard and well.

With Paulsen that is what I expect to see a loss. It will sucks but it will be ones I can understand .

Dave Paulsen deserves credit for the job he's doing at George Mason. Patriots are 8-3. Have won road games at UNI, Penn State, and Penn.
