I'm up here doing some weird Lovecraft shit before the game. My tickets are right in the thick of the Rhody fans. If I don't make it back for the Richmond game on Wednesday I probably got sacrificed to an elder god.

Not sure what’s going on with Darius, but he’s shooting a career-low 29% from 3 — that is a staggering 12 percentage point drop from last season.

Hopefully we are in for some positive regression to the mean starting tomorrow because there’s no way he continues to shoot it this poorly.

 

[Where's the party?]

I think O'Conner is going to wind up being our surprise offensive player this year. He made some shots in the game against Davidson that he wasn't making early in season. Also think Darius is slowly coming out of his shooting coma. Now if we can just get Anderson to take a freaking shot as soon as he gets the ball, AND get Gio to realize he's the biggest guy on the court and needs to act like it.

Our D is legit, and will cause fits for the A10. As they say, "D Travels".

68 Green and Gold
64 Rogues Island

Mason goes 2-0 in the conference

He’s taking bad shots and not squaring up before pulling the trigger. Somewhat a product of the offense and probably of being the main focus for opposing wing defenders. He also gets handed grenades a lot at the end of the shot clock.

Nah - Rhode Island fans are great, met up with a few for a beer before game there last year. Let me know if you need some recommendations for things to do - area around arena is a ghost town but Newport is really nice.

Darius is 3-16 from 3 over the last 4 games....2-7 from 2, 1-3 from 3 against Davidson.

Agreed - Lat time I went to a road game there ( a while ago) the fans are solid and friendly. However, Free Gunston is controversial and has a tendency to cause trouble. He keeps a bottle of hot sauce in his jacket and a knife in his boot. His face tatoos can be provocative.

Upset alert: GW up 16 over Dayton at the half. Hoping this doesn't go past our 2 pm start on USA!!

Dayton on the comeback.
Down 8 at the under 16 TO
GWU is still on winter break
Probably an equal number of Dayton fans here

Many fouls so far on shots...not good for game length.

Even more shocking
GWU's best player - Darren Buchanan Jr is in a foot boot and not playing

In the middle of apartment searching here in Fairfax after a red eye flight from Missouri last night, I find myself sitting at Banditos at University Mall getting ready to watch the game! Huge game! Go Patriots!

Does Banditos always have Mason games for fans to watch on their TVs?

A shocker - GWU wins by 20

 

[psyclone]

GW wins by 20! Dayton collapses totally in last 4 minutes. 13-0 run by GW. 15 3's for the game for GW.

 

[MasonSAE4]

Better chance of a mercy rule than OT

I stand very much corrected

 

[MasonSAE4]

Is there a reason we haven’t been able to recruit a three point shooter in a decade?

We are having to use my ESPN

IDK my first time here. They're asking for my ESPN login so I assume no LOL

 

[Pikapppatri8]

Defense has been solid and I like that we are really looking to score inside first -- maybe its me but we look far more "aggressive" offensively in this game.
