The win against Dayton didn't seem like just hot shooting. It looked like a more aggressive team across the board. Starting with Maddox, he came out hot and he was creating his own shots. The whole team came out with that attitude that the coaching staff instilled in them. I think the team fed off of that energy once shots started falling. A rising tide lifts all ships enough to sink GW crossing the Delaware. Mason wins by double digits.

Let's try sinking them crossing the Potomac!

Why would GW's "ship" sink if all others are lifted from the rising tide?

I'll be there with my wife and my four year old. We hope we drive back to Philly area with the Patriots getting the W. In Sophia's lifetime we are 3-0 in games attended at Eaglebank Arena so hoping for a 4th!

Don't worry 2011overVillanova We will stand and yell lol.

screw him

1. Mason's status should be the least of Caputo's worries. He hasn't even finished half the court ordered therapy treatments for his cat porn addiction.

2. He is an opportunistic low life that would throw his mother under the bus if it served his career interests. Ask his mom, she hates him.

3. In Spanish, the last part of his name is a curse word "Puto". Not sure what point I'm making on this one, but it can't be good.

4. And don't even get me started on his alter ego "Christina Caputo" that only comes out every 3 full moons where he/she wanders the streets demanding gummy bears from strangers.

Damn……Chank….. that was some of the most beautiful words I have read - the hatred and angered jumped off the page and soothed balmy troubles angry soul. I’m not the only dark and angry person on these boards. You …… you…. Maker feel not alone. Thank you … and yeah let’s analysis rapes these f**kers and make Caputo wish he was taking the gravy pipe from a crew of off duty long shoreman at Madison Gras……

The GW student bus and their students should be greeted with boos and heckles. This isn’t GWU West. This is George Mason. We want an environment for them like the black hole at Raider games. Period. Defend Eaglebank Arena. No being “nice” or “chummy chummy”. All hands on deck.

Hey now don’t ruin their field trip - they like to look at a real campus at least once a year……

Thats correct. I was shocked to see it so smooth and easy but he was in the right spot of the zone and against a 2-3 you have a wide open look from the foul line or just below it.

When I play pickup, if I get the ball in that area against a zone I know that I have a chance to actually make a basket, heh.

Having played a little ball, you are correct against a 2-3 zone if you get the ball to the middle its either an open shot at FT line or defense collapses and you have free shots from the perimeter or free cutters going to the hoop. Jalen had free shots because defense did not collapse on him.

Instead of hoping and praying for better 3pt shooting AND less TO's, maybe the realistic hope (and winning formula) should be for EITHER of those to happen. The insane hot shooting covered for the insane amount of TO's last night.


Unfortunately for us, Kenpom has GW 4th in the A10 in creating turnovers and 3d in 3 pt % defense.

Fortunately for us, GW’s statistics were mostly compiled against one of the weakest nonconference schedules in the country.

The teams we’ve played look like Murderer’s Row compared to GW. No excuse not to walk the dog on them Saturday.

While that's true of the non-conference strength of schedule (363 vs 323), our respective relative strength of schedule in the A10 is more comparable. Kenpom has Mason's conference SOS as 12th and GW's as 8th.

Against multiple crap teams?

We’ve played 3 of 4 of the same teams…

I'm not going to laugh until we beat them.

Hard to believe that we are 6-6 in Fairfax against GW.

 

[GMUMiked]

GW has had an odd season, strong start out of conference going 12-2 only losing to K-State and AU in OT. Then they lose their A-10 opener to Richmond, lose their best player (Buchanan Jr.) but beat Dayton and Rhode Island back to back. Buchanan returned this week but GW lost to Duquesne (Buchanan went 0-6).

Should be a win but we always seem to to struggle against GW, even when we are the better team. Hoping for a good crowd, that we come out as aggressive as we did against Dayton, and we impose our will from the start.
