Based on this year's roster, John Davis scored 13 points, William Adala Moto scored 17 points, and Mike Morsell scored 20 points in last season's game. Those three players ended up averaging in double digits in points last season: http://www.towsontigers.com/custompages/MBB/15-16/teamcume.htm. William ended up averaging 8.3 rebounds per game in the 2015-16 season and got 6 rebounds in last season's game.

Based on this, the game is on MASN (Mason's site didn't list a TV partner, although there is other info that shows this game is not televised): http://sidearm.sites.s3.amazonaws.c.../2016/10/25/CAATVRelease_AllinOne.pdf?id=3169

The optimist in me says GMU 95 - Towson 21. Otis deals out 25 assists, Temara and Boyd each dunk from the half court line, and by the end of the game Paulsen experiments with Danny Dixon running the point.

The pessimist in me says we're just too damn young and inexperienced. Towson 65 - Mason 56.

Official prediction? We learn to hold home court advantage. Mason 64 - Towson 63 in OT.

Remember the good old days, when the only question when we saw Towson on the schedule was margin of victory?

They have two really good players in Morsell and Adala Moto, but we're not starting freshmen anymore.

Despite our recent struggles in home openers, I think we find a way to win this one.

Lets hope they leave enough time to get to the game on time

Mason 65

Everyone keeps saying Mason is inexperienced, but I don't see it that way. Two Seniors, A stud PG. And the other two spots will be played by players who played significant minutes last year.

Also Jenkins is a redshirt Senior. So he isn't taking any classes right? So that will hopefully mean less stress. I expect to see him truly enjoying the game this year.

No, he is taking classes. You have to be enrolled to be a member of an athletic team.

John Calipari would beg to differ

Anyone selling 2 tickets and/or gold room passes? Would rather not sit in the rafters, but if I have to, I'd like to at least have some beers in me.

If you call the athletic ticket office directly and tell them you're coming from out of town, big fan etc, they might be able to give you different tickets that they hold back for mini plans or something.

If that fails, let me know and they usually let season ticket holders get extra tickets as "guest tickets".

Glad to see you feel safe behind your computer screen.

In order to redshirt you still enroll as a full time student. So a full time student in theory should be done with classes in 4 years. Obviously this moron doesn't know the intricacies of redshirts

There is something called graduate school that you can enroll in, if you graduate and still have a year of eligibility.

Buzzer beater 3 to win it.

And is that what he did?...

Unless Mason wants to be investigated and potentially hit with a violation, I'd say odds are good that Jenkins is either still enrolled as an undergraduate student if he didn't finish, or hes enrolled as a graduate student if he did end up graduating. Commonsense.

So how is vcu looking this year? Is McD's allowing you to stream any games during your breaks? Im sure you get 8 breaks per shift with the millennial entitlement thing.
