Great win. 15 assists and only 12 TO's. The usual great D and ill take that offense for the rest of season. Great to see Maddox have a good shooting nite. Good ball movement all game. Just enjoyed watching the game and our team play to their potential.

Dude that is what we call banter - don’t take it personally - was getting fired up for the game. Ask GMUTom - that is absolutely tame shit for me.

Yeah, I know. See my latest post to you.
We're good.

That wouldn't be all bad, but there's still hope for something better.

Aren’t we tied for first in the A10 - I would like to think something better

NIT here we come!

Think higher.

Great win! Can‘t wait to hear from the “This is who we are“ and “I hope I’m wrong“ folks.

Yup I was 100% Correct! Thank you very much for pointing it out! It's amazing how commenting on A. Either don't turn ball over. B. Hit foul shots or C. Hit 3's actually proved to be correct.

WHAT A MASSIVE WIN! Amazing what happens when you make 3's!!!

That was fantastic.

1) Darius Maddox. Stepped up big. 20 points 4 assists
2) Kd Johnson. Stepped up big. 9 points 2 assists
3) our defense. On point. Held Dayton to 43% from the field
4) we shot 55% from 3.
5) 15 total assists.

Offensively we got it done and was efficient. Minus that crazy last 90 seconds, we moved the ball and were solid.

Defensively we did our thing and made Dayton struggle. They did not get many good looks and got some luck when their 25 foot 3s went in. Dayton plays so slow, and it goes right into our style well. We outrebounded them 32-23.

Solid all around win. We still turned the ball over 18 times, but we did all other areas well and against that type of ball pressure it’s expected. Not much we can do except try to keep working at it.

4-1. First place. Let’s take Gw down next. Go mason!

The Dayton victory is a Quad 1 win.

PATRIOT PRESSURE

Tony is now 2-0 against Anthony Grant and Dayton

Dayton is at the near bottom of the A10 standings and on a 3 game losing streak

Black Uni's are dope!

Black Uni's are dope!

Such a 180 degree switch

It's unfortunate that we aren't seeing more of these types of games. What I mean is we'd be 15-3 right now (16-2 maybe?) if we played like we did tonight

This is why continuity is so important.

And I was just thinking about this with the “do you start Billups over Anderson?” question: the roles are much more clearly defined now than they were at the beginning of the season and the rotations are more predictable.

Sweet. Honestly don't know that I saw that coming. Hope is alive in Fairfax.

I’m not hating? But what’s going on with Dayton. Great OOC, but they are in a slump

Think higher.

Can’t loose to ECU and Central Michigan and expect an at large bid, but Autobid is still up for grabs!
