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

[Copes4Three]

Mason wins by 10. GMU 62, St Joes. 52. St. Joes has been struggling offensively lately, a lot of their scoring goes through charlie brown who when is off starts forcing up a lot of shots. I'd like to see Mar and Kier guard him most of the day. St. Joes isn't a great 3pt shooting team and they don't have a big post presence. I see Kier and Reuter having a great game

7 pt. dogs but the computer models clearly did not factor in home court disadvantage for St. Joes.

Mason by 3. Mar scores 10 and everyone gets excited.

Are this the American or European model?

Hopefully The Funk doesn't go off on us tonight. Joe's will have plenty of motivation after last year's buzzer beater losses to us. I think we lose a close one 78-74.

Damnitall. This team cannot shoot worth a damn. They are missing easy jumpers and layups!

Wait- the game hasn't started? Sorry- my timing is off by 4 hrs and 16 minutes. I stand by my comments, however.

I prefer the GFY model, personally.

You scared me for a minute! I am not home yet.

From the kenpom data, St. Joe's takes good care of the ball, #1 (lowest in turnover % on offense), and very good in NOT giving up offensive rebounds when they are on defense (#6).

Brown and Funk are their strongest 3 point shooters and both are shooting at or better than 50% from there over the last handful of games.

They don't defend the 3 well and don't shoot well from 2.

A tough match up for us, but so was K-State who defied the past data and killed us from 3. And we defied past data by not turning the ball over against the #1 team on defensive turnover %. So who knows?!

Which Mason team comes out tonight? The team from the first half of the K-State game or the team that played the 2nd half? It’s conference play time. Time to step it up, Go Mason!!

Let’s hope Funk looks more like the second game and less like the first from last year. Wouldn’t mind him being 0-12 from 3. Mar and Kier and Boyd have their work cut out for themselves defensively tonight.

Sorry, Smokey. It's a league game. This determines who enters the next round-robin. Am I wrong? Mark it zero.

Don't love how Greg and Javon have both been hacked and St Joes has 0 fouls
