Game 17: AT University of Rhode Island, Sunday, January 13th, 5:30 PM, NBCSN

[sleeperpick]

Sleeperpick is a good dude. He is a paasionate fan and knowledgeable. Fortunate to meet him in Destin at the Emerald Coast Classic. Don’t always agree with his takes (I’m more positive about Paulsen and our crew) but he wants Mason to win as much as all of us.

Let’s enjoy the turnaround and great A-10 start.

Thanks Scott. You are a great guy. I enjoyed the time with your friends and family in destin. I love mason basketball and always will. I’m also not ashamed on my opinions. My name is Matt and I sit in 115. I’m not a huge Paulsen guy but support the team as much as possible. I don’t think I’m on DJ3 level but maybe I am. I just love basketball and root for mason as hard as I can. I really hate the majority of fans that tell me and @Patriotsince81 and the 115 crew to sit down and shut up. I also hate fans that talk a lot on the boards and don’t know basketball at all. But I will always be a patriot and will be loud and proud for my team. Good win Over a good team tonight

Nice freaking win boys! We played great D and made our shots.

Welcome to the show Jordan! Kid's a freshie and played unintimidated in your face basketball tonight.....thats exactly what we need.

Kier is fearless and looks to score on every touch.... love it.

Sloppy play around the rim....if our big men can make those layups we would of won by 25-30 points.

Agreed, he’s definitely a fan unlike the actual trolls on here. Definitely not DJ3 level.

Of course you entitled to your opinion, but others are just as entitled to have an opinion about your opinions.

Let’s face it, we overreacted .... at least so far. DP has gotten a bunch of no name recruits to a 3-1 start in impressive fashion. 3 wins, 3 blowouts. The one loss to a top 4 team was close despite shooting 10% from 3 point land.

Those no name recruits are being mentioned on a regular basis as top tier players in the conference. And now we may have another gem in Jordan Miller.

The beginning of the season really hurt. We had no business losing those games. But I’m ecstatic about where we are now.

I look forward to Quentin bringing up my fire DP thread several times this year and at the end of the year.

That win woke me from permanent-lurk. What a great team effort! These last few games, even the Davidson game, have been the type of basketball I've been waiting for.

 

[Jack Strop]

Getting the tie-breaker over URI is gold, set in ivory, and wrapped in bacon!

 

[p8triotfan4life]

great game last night. Jordan Miller's arrival last night reminded me eerily similar of Erik Herring's arrival back in 1997.

As you can recall, Herring was a Prop 48 kid who was waiting for a qualifying SAT score before getting cleared to play mid-season of Larranaga's first year.

Not saying that Miller will go on and be that kind of impact player, but call me crazy but we certainly look like the class of the A10 right now. We should've beaten Davidson. We have more talent and played better defense.

Defense wins Championships. If we can play defense at this pace, we will win the A10.

Is there a replay of this game?

Probably not. The point was made and Grade A post here.

Man - if we had won those first three games... which we really should have, we'd be in a much different place. Anyway, can't cry over spoiled milk. Love what we're getting out of the games right now. I had this last game as a loss and it was far from that.

The thing I'm most encouraged about is the fact that URI tried to make a run and it looked like they were going to, but we stemmed the tide. DP called a timeout at the right time and we got 2 huge buckets when we most needed it. Defend your a** off and get timely buckets and you will win some road games. So much different from the layup lines we saw early in the year.

There was a tweet talking about finding five guys who want to play. I can try to find that.

How many times last year would we have a big lead only to see it vanish in the 2nd half? We are finally seeing the team we were all hoping for - get a lead and keep the foot on the gas. So refreshing. We look like a veteran team... finally. There is a lot to be excited about.

The best part is we look like a veteran team and we only have one senior.

I hope we're all laughing about the layup line come march.

Is it possible to burn your boats twice in the same season?
