Game 11: GMU (6-4) at Neutral Site (Chicago) vs Tulane (6-3) on Saturday, December 17, at 3:30 PM.

[GMU79]

They won by 25.

Ruh Roh, Rorge!

 

[GreenLantern]

Maybe -5 was too many points in my prediction.....

BUMP - so anyone excited about the first fame after final exams? Does the team come out flat or well rested and ready?

Coming out flat = lock

I'm lost in the mediocre sauce.

Never have a clue if we'll play great, play poorly, win, or lose going into a game. Fun times.

 

[GMUSSTN]

We have started exactly 0 games looking ready to play so far this season. Been ice cold out the gate every time. I expect this to be no different.

Tulane is decent just like a Hofstra. No reason we shouldn't win the game. Will be interested to see how the line ends up. I would think we are a 2 point dog

Did you just compliment Tulane? Are you okay?

I mean they aren't "a tourney team" but they also aren't Longwood or Coppin St... They beat a shitty Rhode Island by 2 and lost to the only 3 good teams they have played and I am calling Fordham good so that is a stretch. If we don't win it isn't a bad loss but beating them isn't groundbreaking to our season. Oduro won't be playing against a skeleton at Center so we will quickly test the theory on whether he is back or not. Ronnie will also have to play defense on a scoring guard so all those "he isn't that bad on defense" misconceptions will also be put to the test. CKE has done a really good job of hiding him lately on defense and he has been great offensively but just saying.

 

[Bricker]

Let's see...

1. Neutral court
2. Different time zone
3. First game back from exams

Not ideal considering our start to the season. I'd love to see some fire early and maybe some adjustments by the staff. Hoping for some steps forward without the stumbles... but not holding my breath

I’ll set my expectations low, and if Mason somehow wins then I’d feel a lot better. Anyone with a pulse, Mason hasn’t played well against this year in neutral settings so we’ll see. Hopefully they can take this one and keep momentum through December

 

[BBride]

Mason 56, Tulane 55 OT

 

[GMU79]

Coming out flat = lock

Hate to agree, but yeah.

Doesn’t appear there will be a video option for this one. I see the two later games in Chicago are on the cbs sports network.

 

[Mason2005]

Pretty crazy that there is no way to watch this game unless if you're there...... What year is it?

Yeah...feels like 2002 when I used to listen to games on the radio.

Even if they just showed 2nd half. Considering how we start away games.

I remember playing Santa Clara one year (2000ish?) and if we won I think we were going to play Stanford, had to keep watching scores scroll across bottom of screen on ESPN. No internet. We lost.

That's probably because Nate Langley gave the camera the bird a few years back vs Long Beach St on an ESPN televised game.
