Mason won..but Tony skinn had some serious questionable coaching decisions..why did he tell his team to take 3's with open lane to the basket twice. Billups and Maddux should not be settling for open 3's when the teams was shooting 18% from beyond the arc at that point? Get to the rack..
I've got a lot of questions over some of his decisions today but I highly doubt those were planned shots. Hard to blame a kid for wanting to ice the game with a wide open look.

I am, however, perplexed by not using a timeout to kill the GW rally in the first half, and TWICE not trying to double up on possessions, once at the end of regulation and once at the end of OT.

That's OK... those who showed up showed up well. It got pretty loud in there!
Lots of times section 102 (behind visitor's bench) were on their feet cheering through key possessions. Median age of that section, who are mostly long-time season-ticket holders, is likely old enough to be collecting social security (me included!).

Doesn't happen that often and no one told us to sit down!

Well besides the fact that game took years off my life, I have to say I haven't felt, seen and heard that kind of energy in EBA in awhile. People around the arena actually standing. And cheering. We can talk about all the things the team could've done better, but I'm really glad I was there to witness that environment. It's been far too long and we can only hope it continues. Except we have 11 days until the next home game. So we'll probably lose a lot of that momentum.

Bill ups and KD were the heroes today. JB line, 8 pts, 16 rebs, 4 steals and 4 assists and unknown number of hustle plays--5star player of game. KD 4 star player of game hit a big 3 when we were down by 10 in 2H, 15 pts,5 rebs, 5 steals and a lot of hustle.I love our team when different guys contribute. Section 130 was standing and yelling most of game and both OTs. Come on over if you r having issues, love to have more rabid fans. Great win....
