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

[GMU_DCU]

Another beauty from their boards: "I think we tear up their zone with quick hitting passes to the middle and pops for 3's and a ton of boards if they choose to stay in the zone."

Methinks the vcu fanbase hasn't done their homework on how GMU plays.

Sounds like they have Paulsen's almost stubborn exclusive use of the zone defense all figured out.

 

[MasonFanatic]

Last year vcu tried to shoot us out of our patented zone and went 5-22 from three. I'm not worried.

How would gmujim get in?

He is an alum - he is excused and given entry.

 

[Washingtonian]

How about instructing Ticketmaster to block all ticket orders from the Richmond, VA area?

There are probably plenty of vcu alum in the DC area.

It really pisses me off that vcu is sponsored by Nike while we get left with adidas. Mason should be the ones sponsored by Nike while vcu is left with Reebok.

Also, I'm curious to see how Jaire Grayer, Ian Boyd, and Karmari Newman play on Friday. I want to see how many shots they can make from the outside.

Joel Embiid is sponsored by Adidas though so that doesn't burn too much

F*** uniforms

 

[MasonSAE4]

They're already whining about the refs. Let's f**king go.

 

[Pikapppatri8]

They're already whining about the refs. Let's f*cking go.

They always whine when they can't pull one of their traditional thug moves - although they seem a bit softer under Wade. So we shall see.

Now if we can beat their press and control the boards - I like our odds. It also depends on our defense - if we play like we did against UNI and Penn State - then again - we can win.

If vcu gets hot from the three -then it will be a long game. I can see a close game that goes to a win or loss for us.

But if they light it up from the three - then it could be a bad loss.

I am all over the place on this game.

Does Elmers Glue work for that?

 

[gmujim92]

How would gmujim get in?

I have my ways.

I've thought about requesting a credential since I am still a working journalist, but I don't think Brad or Dave want me telling the refs to F their mothers from press row.

Regardless, vcu can eat a bag of disease-riddled schlongs.

Let's go Mason!

No one ever said vcu students were that smart.

 

[patriot2000]

I have nothing to add here except how excited I am to be making the trip tomorrow for this one

 

[Raider_SPE]

I will be watching down in Richmond with my pops who is a Ram's season ticket holder, this should be fun. It is so tough trying to restrain my contempt for vcu when watching a game with him.

 

[MasonCrew]

Woke up half mast this morning. Expecting a full on rager tomorrow when my alarm goes off tomorrow.

Shared your podcast btw, ByGeorge. Good job.

 

[MasonSAE4]

Does Elmers Glue work for that?

Lol no that's the joke in the show. He keeps telling him it won't work but Charlie keeps trying.

I'm convinced Carolina is huffing some good shit though. Like, whatever glue they made out of last years Kentucky Derby winner.
