Please do not confuse this "exhibition" with our regular season game on December 28 against Mt. St. Mary’s.

No detailed write up on my part due to the fact that it’s an exhibition. I’ve been spending my time and energy preparing for the games that will actually count.

No excuses though, get out to EBA and support our Patriots!

St. Mary’s (Md.) is a D3 program competing in the United East Conference. They were 16-12 (9-3) last season. The Seahawks advanced to the Volt Division Final by beating Gallaudet and Lancaster Bible before falling to Penn State Harrisburg in the final.

The Seahawks lost 3 of their top 4 scorers from last season. They do return 3rd leading scorer, 6’6” Jake Koverman, who averaged 11.2 ppg. The St. Mary’s roster includes 6 freshmen.

Will we actually learn anything from this?

Discuss.

YES!!! The season is here! We have our first preview. And I should be there!

 

[jkh1978]

Are tickets needed for an exhibition? Are they on sale?

 

[GMUgemini]

We will not learn much about this team (other than maybe how seriously they take an exhibition).

But it also is the first chance to see the newcomers and what they’re going to bring to the team in terms of personality, style, and skill sets.

I am most excited to hear about how the bench players do.

1-2 hours away? Don't give people that easy an out.

Even people 4 hours out should be there. Hmmm ... I hope nothing comes up now that I've thrown down the gauntlet!

A crowd of 1200 ooh and ahhh as Mason starts slow and then runs away with a win.

I will try not to confuse the two, thanks.

Disappointing to not have a detailed write up on St. Mary's strengths and weaknesses. I realize though you are extremely busy preparing for the season.

I will try to get out to Eagle Bank Arena to support the Patriots.

I hope it's not a Randolph Macon scenario. I'm always leery of these exhibitions after that one.

Did Tony mention how he might approach this game during the open practice?

Not remembering any talk about the exhibition game during the open practice.
