Game 14: GMU (7-6 / 0-0) at GW (4-9 / 0-1) on Monday, January 17, at 2PM.

That one is on the coach, plain and simple. Can't blow a 13 point lead with six minutes left. Horrible loss....Although without Oduro, we're not a very good team anyway.

 

[tblack33]

Obviously got a bit lazy at the end after our last run there, but I’ll chalk this up to rust. Need a much better showing next game, desperately need Oduro back and at full strength.

12-19 FT's. Make your damn Free Throws!!

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

We can't play nba style defense.

Down the stretch it was really concerning seeing Blake on anyone off a switch. And how does Cooper allow that open lane to the basket?

Terrible. English did a poor job down the stretch losing one to that coach and his squad of clowns.

 

[IzzyWikis]

Will be interested to see how they rebound from this. A bad bad loss.

 

[hoops10]

Yes, the same no defense team. Reminded me of Paulson and Hewitt teams.

 

[FreeGunston12]

We can't play nba style defense.

Absolutely the reason we lost this game. Just love switching our bigs onto guards and our guards onto bigs.

[GMUgemini]

Couldn’t watch the game but way too many dunks and layups given up today. Too many turnovers late.

Only thing to hope: Bona almost lost to La Salle after their layoff (almost because they are a better team) and Mason will hopefully get back to tougher defense going forward.

It was uncanny...Everytime I looked Henry was on Bishop. You are allowed to fight through screens occasionally.

 

[mkaufman1]

Look, if you stop defending, stop sharing the ball, make careless mistakes etc, it’s not going to end well. All the things they did to get a big lead they stopped doing.

Not a good look at all. Bad bad loss. Everyone knew bamisile was getting the ball in the final moment, they did nothing to stop it.

That was exactly what they wanted because Henry couldn’t defend bishop at all. Allowed him to get to the rim easily.

 

[GSII]

To give up a an 11 pt? lead with 4 min left and a 1/3 of the points coming from goal tends is mind blowing.

Why was coop guarding Basimile on that last drive? He got abused. Why not put Ticket on him, and Coop on Bishop?? To have Coop on him and send zero help is bad coaching.

Had a ton of time to scout these guys yet we still give up 77 pts. Yea yea rusty blah blah...that's not an excuse up 11 with 4min left.

 

[Yossarian]

Damnit.

 

[tblack33]

Well hopefully we can craft some interesting questions for the next coaching show. A lot of good takeaways from individual offensive performances, but the team defense left ALOT to be desired today. My biggest concern on that end is we continue to switch everythjng and have guys get lost on switches and have pants on heads idiotic mismatches because of it. Need to work on getting guys to fight under and through screens more effectively.

Lots of things led to this horrible loss, but why was Cooper defending within a centimeter of Basimile when Mason was up 1? Clearly, Bamasile was gonna blow by him.

Terrible loss, as Mason will likely go 0 for 2 against Dayton and Bonnies at home coming up. Could easily lose at UMass too.

Reminded me of a Hewitt/Paulsen loss, up big with a failure to stomp on opponents throat. I can't get excited about any coach until they show me something during the actual games.

 

[GreenLantern]

Can We have the next variant come? I feel better when games are cancelled

 

[Patriotsince81]

Our defense was Paulsenesque. Never have I seen so many layups allowed to an opponent. Cancer surgery a week ago, hurried home, and I got to see this? WTF? Going to bed.
