Game 12: Pennsylvania State University, Sunday, December 17th, 4 PM, Stadium

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

I see it at Mason +10.5, and I’m thinking of returning all my kids Christmas gifts and taking Penn St with the refund money. Over the past month, they’ve played some decent teams, and have beat down the bad teams.

I’m thinking this could be an 79-63 final.

Ooh, as an addicted gambler I appreciate the different take....

I don't know, beat em last year, at home, coming off crappy game
..probably roll with Mason still

Game time! Greg Calixte getting his first start.

Watching the Penn State feed in Philly... the two refs are seeing who can suck the dick the best of Watkins.

What's the record for most dunks against us at home?

What's the record for most missed shots? This looks like a college team vs a grade school team. We look severely bad.

 

[JPgmuswim]

Well that was an ugly first half. 8 turnovers, 1 assist, 0 3-pointers. How many dunks did PSU throw down on us?
The only positive thing I can think of is I didn't have to pay to watch this one.

I expected us to lose ...but wow. The degree to which Penn State can get whatever it wants offensively and GMU looks inept is disheartening.

Lots of season left, but they hardly look Jared Rueter away from a shot at the tourney next year. For comparisons sake - it was easy to look at St. Bonaventure last year and think they were a tournament team this year. They were a very good team last year. GMU is a team who has 5 wins against opponents who are a grand total of 16-36. Probably 5 of those 16 against sub D-1 competition.

Remember, trust the process. LOL

Stadium video quality solid.

Keep in mind why they can get whatever they want...also think why our offense looks so painful at times (I'll give you a hint: zero real post presence on either side of the floor).

The team is also showing its youth in the last couple of games -- a lot of erratic play, weird passes, bad decisions, getting flustered under pressure, etc.

Well if we play like we have the last two games the 10th place predicted A-10 finish will look generous. At least nice to see Kier shake off whatever funk he had going on. I understand AJ can jump but man does he look lost out there.

 

[gmutom]

This was a game of men versus boys. The only silver lining is that Jerry Sandusky is in jail and couldn't be there to take advantage of our players.

The entire team look lost for most of the game, don't blame it strictly on AJ.

We played better in the second half, not great, but better -- at least we only had 6 TOs in the second half and looked more aggressive on the defensive side of the ball.

0-14 shooting from 3, on a team of almost entirely made up of wing players. That's nasty.

Last year PSU was the young team and we beat them by 19 at their place...tit for tat, I'd say.

Dave said we’re in a funk offensively. Ya think?

 

[Patriotsince81]

We're just no damn good.

 

[gmujim92]

We're just no damn good.

Glad to see you’re maintaining perspective in a time of adversity. Hope our players see you as a role model.

Perspective? Nope, just the truth. What I want doesn't mean squat. The players and coaches have to step up and compete. For the second time in a row at home, they did not.

Not making shots and not being able to defend a bigger, stronger opponent doesn’t mean they didn’t compete.

They played better in the 2nd half, but 0-14 on 3's isn't going to win a game.
