For anyone who went, did y’all ask and they just didn’t answer? Or did no one write it down to ask?

I submitted it as a question, although I knew that type of question probably wouldn't be answered. I was told coach would already be speaking to it. So what you heard is all they are willing to say publicly for now.

Which means to me either they don't know the prognosis yet (could be good news? If he broke a bone, they should know by now.), or they're keeping it very close to the vest.

If any Bona player wants to chase greener pastures at P5s, I hope the coaching staff first shows them the splits of our four departing seniors first. It's wild stuff.

all 4 - except for Holmes performing worse than last season

Pretty much a pickem, feels right. Not sure what we’re gonna get tomorrow night. We are the more talented team, but not sure if we’ll be able to put it together away or not. FT are still our Achilles heel. Head tells me we lose a one possession game, hoping for a 6 point win though.

 

[GSII]

We beat a mediocre Richmond team by 4 at home. If our defense was consistently strong, that would of been a 10pt win. But it's not. Even weaker w/o Ticket. Don't know jack re the Bonnies.

Mason could win or lose by 10.

Question:

What is that THING on Rohland's hand? It's the size of an early Super Bowl Ring.

Final Four ring.

He wears a second one indiscriminately as well. Tough when going thru TSA though

 

[GMU79]

Believe it or not, I still wear my Mason ring every day at work. I put it on for the first time at my graduation in May '79. I'm going to retire in May, and I've decided to retire the ring as well, and keep it with other old-time keepsakes. 44 years of almost daily wear.

To me this game is a good indicator of whether we have actually improved since Virgin Islands, or if we are still largely incapable of winning on the road.

This is a team we should beat with the talent we have, but so was BC, Belmont, Buffalo, ODU...

Can CKE improve what is an absolutely terrible road record up to this point in his HC career and earn his 3rd conference road win?

We have 9 road conference games, and this is arguably the 4th most winnable game - so truly should show whether we have a chance to go .500 on the road in conference (which I would take as a significant step forward and be happy with).

Me too. But looks like we have significantly scaled back our pre-2021/22 expectations...like CKE is still here and not at UCLA.

Time to grab the rifles folks. We're going Bonnie Hunting in Upstate New York.

 

[Patriot Lawdog]

Sorry, I'd be worried about this one even if I'd seen much more from this team. Just a really tough place to win. I'd expect some strange things to happen..

SBU 63
Mason 60

 

[GMUYoda]

I expect another close game that will depend on our FT shooting... which still sucks for some reason

 

[Bricker]

The line is all over the place depending on where you look: Mason +1.5, even, and Mason -1 on a few places I've looked. Took some Mason +1.5.

Make some FTs in crunch time! LFG!

Game notes, looks like Ticket is starting tonight!

FTs will be the difference in more games this year than 3 pointers will, imo.
Although, if we hit enough 3s, maybe we won't need to make the FTs.
This team is going to kill me.

Bona aims for more consistency vs. George Mason

ST. BONAVENTURE — It wouldn’t have been shocking if the Bonnies had, again, been a bit … uninspired.
