Game 10: GMU (5-4 / 1-2) vs Richmond (8-3 / 2-1) on Saturday, January 9, at noon.

[Winston]

Expect a lot of rebounds for Mason. Golden is too timid and avoids foul trouble. Burton is our best rebounder, so he gets a lot of fouls. Golden tends to shoot fade away shots which may not go in.

The line is only -6. Vegas doesn't trust Richmond.

Not touching that one.

Ornery (beer company from the gold room that has a restaurant in fairfax where the green turtle used to be) and capital city ale house (where hard times used to be) are both open at 10am for everyone’s awareness. Beers probably necessary for this one.

I dont always agree with tblack and even more so sleeperpick, but I'll be damned if I don't respect their alcoholism.

AJ is warming up so I guess he'll play. If he didn't I would put a mortgage on Richmond -6. Now, less.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Blake Francis back in town...he should have a pretty good cheering section. Wouldn't be surprised if Richmond fans almost equal Mason fans.

He was one guy we probably should have tried to land years ago that might have added shooting. As fairly well as Dave has recruited locally and unearthing guys like Jordan Miller, I never understood why we couldn't land a local shooter like Francis or Matt Lewis of JMU.

Thank God he finally landed one in Kolek.

I blame our basketball program. I’ll be in a class action lawsuit one day for this.

Not touching that with a 10 foot poll. If you do make a small hedge on mason on the money line, just in case.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

God line down to -5 now. Vegas still respects us!

Guess that's because AJ looks like he's playing? I guess?

 

[Haxormax]

is this what a real team looks like? These guys move the ball so well.

 

[sleeperpick]

If you’re counting at home that is 9 points given up to oduros man. If you count fouls committed and free throws. So bad on defense it’s laughable

 

[tblack33]

Anemic would be generous when describing our offense so far.

 

[tblack33]

Also no XJ in the starting lineup, starter change or is he hurt? I know we’d all discussed the issues at PG and potential solutions after Dayton.

 

[GSII]

Men vs boys

 

[FreeGunston12]

Could our next coach please have some idea of what offense is?

 

[tblack33]

Update: defense is anemic too.

 

[tblack33]

Polite doesn’t look like he’s quite ready yet.

Shin injury, out.

Neither does the rest of the team.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Polite doesn’t look like he’s quite ready yet.

He's not...being hurt and missing practice, plus coming from a public school and needing to get used to the speed of the game.

Not worried, he's good. I think he'll be very good.
