Game 14: AT Saint Joseph's University, Thursday, January 3rd, 7:30 PM, CBSSN

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

Not to be a nay sayer but this win this a lot less impressive after just watching GW, a team who I think will compete for last place in the A10, completely dismantle St Joes in the second half

It’s still progress for Mason. Blowing out teams we are supposed to has eluded as well.

I don’t see this as a negative at all.

Or..... we traumatized St Joes soooo
Much that it gave GW a chance to win

A road win is a road win. Our job is to beat the teams we are playing.

I think it’s more likely that Charlie Brown is being selfish and that’s hurting the team.

I think St. Bonaventure will be better and finish higher than St. Joes despite the bad OOC record.

100% correct. Bonnie’s have a top 8 team that hasn’t played but 1 game together all season. Injuries killed them. With Stockard and griffin the win tonight will look great very soon

So much for “The hawk will never die.” We killed that sumbitch.

St. Joe's doesn't belong in the A-10.

GW crushed St Joe’s. I’m guessing Mason’s win was fools gold.

Good god man just enjoy a 25 point road win. We could cut the nets down in Brooklyn and you’d find a way to bitch.

Not to worry, all we have to do is find a fool to buy the gold... know anyone who matches that description???

Maybe just sit this one out, little fella.

From Philly.com on St Joe's 0-2 start:

Worst week
This might turn out be the worst week of the season for any local team: The St. Joseph’s Hawks seemed to have a safe launch point in the Atlantic 10, with home games against George Mason and George Washington, both Georges off to struggling non-league starts.

The Hawks laid two massive eggs, giving up big late runs in both games. Yes, I had it wrong thinking this St. Joe’s team would be right in the NCAA mix this season. To date, not even close.


The biggest issue to me is the team doesn’t have the necessary foot speed, especially among the inside players. Watching a GW player drive into the lane and seeing nobody get close enough even to foul on the way to a layup-drill layup tells you enough.

Issue No. 2: After Charlie Brown, the offensive options come and go. Fresh Kimble can carry things for a while when he heats up, but otherwise there is no consistent creator putting pressure on a defense. Ryan Daly, the Delaware transfer sitting out, will be that guy next season, but that doesn’t help this season. I took it as a positive sign when Taylor Funk, designated as a shooter on scouting reports, went to the hole a few times in the first half when the Hawks were getting the better of GW. The Hawks just need more of that.

The question after the George Mason debacle was whether the Hawks could recover and get stronger. Now? The Hawks are 7-7, 0-2 in the A-10. They are exactly what their record says they are.

Can you imagine going through life like this?

I know we complain about our offense looking short of ideas sometime, but my god St. Joes is inept. They shoot 3's within the first 10 seconds of the shot clock on every sing possession. They look terrible @ Dayton right now.

Wasn't that the VMI way of trying to get points years ago?

That was also the definition of "Paul Ball" when Westhead was here.

Toppin had a monster game for Dayton against St. Joe's. He went for 25 and 12.

He and Cunningham are the best bigs combo in the A-10.

I think Grant finally realized after our game that if they want to win just give the ball to the two of them... their guards aren't bad by any means but they are also not very good
