Game 14: Virginia Commonwealth University, Friday, December 30th, 8 PM, CBSSN

[patriot2000]

We lose 1 of our last 10 games and we're telling Paulsen what to do? We lost to a better team, sometimes it's just that. Let's just enjoy the ride! Go Patriots!

Hey, I'm not second guessing coach at all. I think I made that pretty clear. I'm just thinking and wondering about next year. I don't believe for a second that we lost the vcu game because of anything related to Paulsen at all

vcu finished 57.8% of their twos tonight. Had a feeling Mason would have trouble with that.

Their prized freshman broke his foot in our game.

Was able to go to the game last week - although I usually go to some of their games out here in the midwest, this was the first home game for me in about 8 years. Had a great time. The atmosphere was awesome. I'm totally back on the bandwagon (not that I was really off). Plan on upping my $ to the Pat Club in support of Paulsen. Love the path he's taking on getting us back. I was worried that we might not be for real and the nine win streak was more about the teams we played, but I think we are a legit middle A10 team this year and things are on the upswing.

Was great seeing a lot of you guys at the game too!

No other place to put this.

vcu losing at Fordham by 6 with 8 minutes to go on MASN.

 

[MasonCrew]

Wow they lost. That's surprising. I really hope we take them in Richmond.

Yeah, some guy (Anderson?) makes a jumper at the buzzer in OT

 

[psyclone]

Over 20 turnover for both teams. Makes the a point that every team (except Richmond, so far) is capable of putting up a stinker of a game in conference.

Hopefully Richmond is saving its stinker for Sunday.

"Folks, I hate to say it, but this is a worse loss than at Mason last year. Frankly, it is the worst A-10 loss we have ever suffered and the worst loss in at least 6 or 7 years that I can recall. Fordham is a TERRIBLE team; they are just bad! We played awful for 30 plus minutes and we got what we deserved. Sure, we fought back and the kids are to be commended for that effort, but if they had played sound, intelligent basketball during the first 30 minutes, then they wouldn't have needed to rally. I also disagree on taking Mo out with four fouls in OT. You let him play on. So many mistakes and we are a veteran team. That is what is so disappointing. PG play was bad; 2nd bad game in a row for Johnny. Fordham is a terrible rebounding team, and they beat us on the glass. You should just never put yourself in a position to lose it at the end against a bad team. This team could go on another 8 to 10 game winning streak, but what I saw tonight screams NIT. I find this one hard to comprehend coming off a game that we shouldn't have lost at Davidson. Most of you know me and my posts as level-headed, but this is a soul-crushing loss. Peace all."

Always good to see vcu lose.

A10 looking like a 1-2 bid league.

Always good to see vcu lose.

vcu's two best players...
Mo Alie Cox had ZERO, yes ZERO Field Goal attempts in 34 Minutes.
JeQuan Lewis only had 4 Points off of only 7 FG attempts in 39 Minutes.

Anyone watch this game? Maybe Fordham's defense just exposed how vcu can be effectively shut down.

Fordham's defense was very active. Their guards are pretty big, they doubled the post like us and got out on shooters quickly on the kick outs. vcu's PG Williams had a terrible game, had like 7 turn overs and a handful of bone head drives to the basket. That was vcu's game to lose, Fordham didn't have a confident dribbler but vcu couldn't capitalize like they usually do.

It's funny because the vcu fans who are the loudest and most obnoxious on Twitter are now all butt hurt and can't take the reciprocation. I just ignore them, but other A10 fans are beating them up and it's comical.

Another reason to be bullish on double-digit NCAA bids coming from the ACC: Hard to see AAC or A 10 getting more than two. SEC (3), MWC (1).
