Game 19: Fordham University, Saturday, January 19th, 7 PM, ESPN+

Jesus. We have to be the most counterfeit 5-1 a10 team in history.

Beats being a legit 1&5, though

This is not Fake News.

This type of game will not work against Dayton and vcu. I'm glad we won... but that was luck on our side tonight

5-1! Otis denied me OT but I'll forgive him this time!

 

[JPgmuswim]

Otis was clutch at the end tonight with the assist, the 3 made free throws and then of course the game winning 3. Need more of that.

Nice to get a win but they have to play much better against top league teams. Fordham always gives them trouble so take the win and run.

The defense locked down the last few minutes and got big stops.

Agreed but I don’t think we will see that type of game against vcu. Hell UMASS was pushing vcu until they pulled away at the end.

Fordham played zone. Dont think you understand basketball.

What a great ending! I had to watch on my laptop in my hotel room in Denver, and I'm pretty sure I could be heard yelling by everybody on my floor.

That ha to be the best game end game planning I have ever seen from Mason

Let me start by saying that I am beyond stoked that went in and we won. Big players made some big plays down the stretch.

However, whatever play was drawn up to end that was absolutely terrible. I’d gamble to say that it’s not in our best interest to have our 5-10 PG attempt a contested 3 over a guy a few inches taller than him at the buzzer to win it. Very little off ball movement, seemed very incoherent. But again, big players make big plays and after a terrible first half Otis threw his big old ball sack into his backpack and won that one for us.

Fordham has been up at least 5 going into the last 4 minutes against all of their opponnents in confernece this year except vcu. Including being up 6 over SLU in which they should've won. This is a great win.

Phew

I don't think the team played a great game, but I'd argue that St. Louis only beat Fordham by 3 at home also.

I do understand. Are you telling me that if this was Dayton or vcu we would have come back to win?

Noble is taller than Otis? He didn’t look it. Plus he played Otis horribly in that play and gave him way too much space. I think the idea was either Otis makes it or we go to overtime.

Maybe. We were down 21 at Kansas State and lost that game by 1. Every game plays out differently. We shot like crap from 3 in the second half (some of that was bad shot selection, some of it was bad luck). Fordham also made some tough shots too.

The Bonnie’s took Dayton to 2OT tonight and we destroyed them, as an example of how every game and every matchup is different.

I actually like that play. Why risk a stolen pass to a winning basket by them. He misses and we go to OT.

I swear we have to be the only fan base that complains this much after winning.

Good Grief

Dayton only beat St. Bonaventure by three tonight. They must be down in the dumps and pissed off by now. We beat the Bonnies by 15 so maybe we have a shot against Dayton?

Lol, guilty as charged.

It's just been such a weird season, it's hard to know how to feel about any game.

I genuinely have no idea if we're any good. We might suck. We might win the a10.

This is such a hard team to get a read on
