Wonder if DP stays with Polite down the stretch.

He did. Gotta be wondering what’s going through the upperclassman and captains head that he’s gotten surplanted by a freshman two years in a row now.

He wants to develop Polite clearly and he wants him to claim the job. Trouble is until tonight he hasn't looked close to ready for even 15-20...

The interesting thing is...does a coach feeling heat do what DP has done with Polite? Probably not...

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Never forget the tards from GW aren't exactly end of game geniuses...LOL

 

[GreenLantern]

Winner winner chicken dinner

 

[FreeGunston12]

Good grit. Lots of good fight for loose balls and rebounds. Oduro has that bit of dog in him Lamar.

 

[tblack33]

This may be the weirdest box score I’ve ever seen in a win.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Should be lots of posts coming in now...or do those guys just enjoy posting when Mason is down 13?

I won 480 off a Mason halftime bet....LOL.

 

[Patriot8]

....terrified

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

you can buy Polite's Mt St Mary's jersey in two years when he hopefully gets recruited over... can't have a guard that plays no defense and can't shoot get minutes on a team that hopes to compete

Honest question...do you really watch the games?

Cause Polite tonight did a pretty good job defending on that high pick and roll after us being torched by it for roughly a year and a half...

....terrified

Just enjoy the win and Paulsen’s looming lifetime contract extension! #LetsGo!!!!

 

[gmulion]

Did that win guarantee we make the A10 tournament?!?!

you're a brilliant basketball mind

 

[emjayar08]

I didn’t even know Oduro could dunk haha

He almost had a ridiculous putback dunk that would've been a SC Top 10.

All those Duke Street hookers should be on notice. Big Daddy is on the prowl

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

No, I'm wrong a decent amount...just not nearly as wrong as you are.

Which is a lot. Like, a lot. Documented.

But I like you so I wish you the best. Sorry Mason won tonight and ruined an "I told you so" moment for you.

 

[psyclone]

I am not asking for the world... but Noel Brown (the 3rd backup center) for GW that is getting playing time because of Paar and Moyer out looks better than any 2nd stringer Mason has ever had in the big man position.

No he doesn't. And your boy Paar isn't impressive either.

Good win, love seeing Oduro come to life and somehow some adjustments to overcome the deficit.

gw is pretty bad but it was nice to see mason come back and take the game. Polite showed some real strides tonight. He took over for Hartwell and played some good defense and helped at the guard spot.

Im still not sold on Dave, still thinking they make a change. Winning is nice, I’d rather win than lose. At this point he has to probably win out to the semis or championship game.

maybe if Towson and vmi aren’t crappy wins, they don’t blow Belmont and Norfolk state doesn’t happen, I’d think Dave would stick around. Body of work still tells me otherwise even with improvement the last 3 games. Ultimately it’s about the NCAAs or even the NIT and Mason isn’t close and hasn’t been close with Dave.

don't you have to get back to writing your middle school girls softball blogs or something?

I saw Bishop dribble thru Kolek and Polite 2-3 times (when Kolek was guarding Battle) and Polite and Oduro 2-3 times (when Oduro was guarding Parr). Must have missed it

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Wow, when you're down 13 at half there's only a 3% chance to win.

Congrats to Coach David Paulsen. What an amazingly coached comeback.

And seen live by Brad Edwards!!!

 

[GMUgemini]

The problem with Paulsen is there are those what-ifs every single year.
