Game 15: Saint Bonaventure University, Sunday, January 6th, 4 PM, NBCSN

[Petey Buckets]

This is the first time since joining the A10 that Mason has won consecutive conference games by double-digits. Previously the closest we got was the 2016-2017 team that won four in a row by 20, 7, 6, and 23.

Great team win. Kier and calixte balled the entire game. Defense was great. Schmidt tried his best but couldn’t game plan with the team he has.

Also the first time we have defeated the Bonnies since joining the A-10. There were a few Bonnie fans in attendance as they thought they had our number.

Great win - my sources said they injected Kier with Marquise Moore’s blood over the holidays!

Speaking of, we outrebounded them by 20. That’s massive.

Yeah, that’s the reason we won the game. I think the best thing that happened was them getting 5 rebounds on that 1 possession early.

Is this the first time we've been 2-0 in the A10?

Yes.

Kier and Javon used to be the same player and pissed me off to see them play together. But now that Kier has shot the ball better and Javon locking down opponents best player they blossomed into a solid combo.

Nice to see Grayer having fun on bench with team. I bet he stays. Gut feeling. Skin the Wildcats next!!

Kier having an outside shot you have to respect is transformational.

I'm not faulting Dave or complaining about the situation. I just like the kid and want to see him play more!

Bad defender that should be hidden in a zone. We saw the early 2nd half zone effected Bonnies. May see more.

More than a few. Section 103 (in the corner where visiting fans are usually) was pretty full. And there were the better part of a row of them just behind me and 2 or 3 rows in front of me in 102. Had the impression that many of them were transplants to this area. I know one person said he was in grad school here but was an undergrad at St. Bonaventure.

And they all went home bitter.

Grayer was in there? All the people with inside knowledge said he was in Michigan and gone forever

It helps to play games when G'town and UMd aren't, but perhaps we're getting more relevant!

About the game- great to see the guys taking IN RHYTHM shots. Seemed like way to much thinking going on early in the season. You get a good look within the scheme of the offense? TAKE IT! Boyd continues to be very solid, and feel he still has a lot of upward potential.

Who said he was in Michigan? All I’ve seen and heard is he has played his last game for Mason, but nobody suggested he was no longer in school.

Is that Grayer on bench?

Yes

 

[Pikapppatri8]

Yes

Maybe he stays?

Solid article. Dave’s comments make me think he’s figured out the rotation and that guys are getting comfortable in their roles. Would love for our brand of basketball to keep including guards who take pride in rebounding.

Kier and Boyd could be really special next year. Kier looks like he’s developing into our leader on the court too.
