Game 14: AT ODU, Jan 4th, 7 PM, NO TV

[JimP]

Today - it was Wright's turn to have a good offensive game. Of course Allen had a rough night. It'd be nice if they both put it together.

Can't really blame them though - we have no threat down low.

 

[Harry]

Sherrod (25), Holloway (10), Williams (8) and Allen (8) with all but five of our points. Not a great effort from the rest of the team.

Can we at least build on Sherrod's return and the fact that we came back from an 11 point deficit?

 

[DeepValue]

Didn't Hewitt once playfully brag about his record a ODU?

Serious question though - did we just lose to Jeff Jones? The humanity.

Seriously...stop it. There's no hope now.

Is Blaine Taylor available? At least we would know why his coaching might stink.....

 

[masonjoe]

ODU's commentators saw one game and know this team is in disarray...

No moral victories when you lose to a team with an RPI of 260. Guess Vegas finally found out Hewitt was our coach and rightfully made us the underdog in this game.

Retread Rivalry. Hewitt has to give up the Golden Goodyear.

just coaxing out the GMU sucker bets

 

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

Seriously...stop it.

HAhahahahahahaha,

 

[KAOriginal]

Good news?

We can all bet against Mason going forward and win 95% of the time.

Im liquidating the IRA....

 

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

Many here may be liquidating their season tickets

 

[Quentin Daniels]

I've never been on the Paul Ball bandwagon, but always thought he needed to be allowed that third season to prove himself either way. He's proving it all right.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Can't wait to see that vcu line.

Well, guess we were flat after barely outlasting a team that LaSalle waxed by 19 today.

Hope...draining....rapidly.

Never thought Hewitt wouldn't get a fourth year, but if he finishes tenth or worse in the A-10 after this non-conference he may be gone.

Nope. Only way he is gone is if he walks. TOC will not fire him.

1) Money
2) Not the Mason image of "high expectations."

As discussed on the Paul Hewitt thread, the school probably is too cheap to eat his contract plus TOC would not want to admit the mistake.

vcu -16?

To low?

Probably correct, but a 12-19 type season with a first round loss would be hard to not do something very significant.

 

[gmu2006]

All these smileys express my dissapointment/frustration/embarrasment/anger with this team:



I am so perplexed. I really expected much much much more than this for this season. We are in the bottom of the A10 standings and will likely stay there. So embarrasing.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

vcu -16?

To low?

Seems about right. Hoping for lower...maybe 12-13.

 

[Bricker]

Turning this one into a drinking game.

Drink when you see:

Airballed GMU 3-pt attempt
mishandled pass in the paint
vcu uncontested layup
vcu fastbreak 3 pointer
Copes finger wave block w/foul while down by more than 10 points
GMU "offensive incompetence sequence" (missed layup, offensive rebound, missed layup)

Finally...
Chug whatever is in front of you after first GMU timeout in reaction to massive XX-0 vcu run


I think that's enough to black out before halftime...
