NCCU with 11 fouls already with 11 to go on first half.

8 minutes in and I’m already convinced we need to play through Haynes

I have to watch this on my phone because I have to teach in less than half an hour but are we not boxing out well? Seems like we aren’t in good position to get some of these defensive rebounds.

Haynes is going to draw a lot of fouls this year!

He’s a load and a half.

Need to find a way to get Maddox and Anderson open. Someone has to make a 3 at some point…

 

[GMU79]

Sure hope someone learns how to shoot.

Sloppy half but some glimpses of hope. Really like Kd hustle, Haynes is a beast up front. Not sure what was up with some of the lineups like having O’Connor play point but whatever.

I expected nc central to make Mason play this type of game.

 

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

vcu only up 7 to powerhouse Bellarmine.

My observations so far.. Tons of changes for all teams and everyone looks like garbage.

So I think I’ve seen our new logo done about 5 different ways on ESPN tonight. I am okay with 1 of the 5.

Yep. Turrible.

 

[Patriot Lawdog]

We need to push the ball. It will help us get some more easy buckets and open looks.

NC Central is a completely horrible team and we are struggling against them. I'm trying to be positive but I can't think of a single thing on the plus side for the first half. Completely awful. Very disappointing first half. We should be way ahead of this team.

I say this with all due respect, but Zach Anderson plays like he has mono.

I would LOVE to eat this post, but my first impression is that he’s having trouble with the energy that this system requires.

kd is the best player on the court. Not sure how O’Connor got the start

 

[JPgmuswim]

Is Ball on the bench? He posted earlier today about the game.

 

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

Agreed. We look way more competent when he is in the game.

 

[GMU1983]

Where is Ball??

 

[GMU79]

Well, Tony didn't seem as down on the team as I was/am tonight, and he knows a lot more about it than I do. So that's good.
But, we've got a looong way to go to be where we all are hoping we will be.
