Has anyone seen what the line is opening at for this? I’d imagine it should be somewhere around -5.5 or -6.5 for us after that beat down Tuesday.

You would expect - but I remember a lot of uncomfortably close games with them. We need to leave nothing but bodies and crushed dreams on the floor of the PatDome after we are done with them.

Maybe we'll sit back in a zone against them like Hewitt did because they're so athletic and never have shooters at all

Larranaga sucks also now

 

[Quentin Daniels]

Still trying to keep the expectations in check and be reasonable w/a first year HC and very different team and system....but it's a lot harder after Tuesday's performance.

Same. I feel like this isn't one of those games where Mason gets caught, but I know it's coming.

And if it doesn't come, then I have to worry about CKE being one-and-done.

What happened with the Cuban?

Nobody knows but some say he haunts Brions Grille to this very day along with Patriot81

Kenpom has Mason as a 6 pt favorite (up from a 4 pt favorite at the beginning of the season). Mason currently at #190 (was at #211) and Penn at #223 (was at #215).

Beer and wine are now at games! The most printer part is in bold below.

From Brad Edwards,

Dear Patriots,

For the 2021-2022 men’s and women’s basketball seasons George Mason University, in collaboration with Mason Athletics, is implementing a pilot program to sell beer and wine at EagleBank Arena. This initiative begins at the Patriots game against Penn on Friday, November 12th at 7:00pm.

This initiative will improve the fan experience at games by expanding the options at the concession stands, allowing fans 21 or older to purchase beer or wine. The DMV is a very competitive entertainment market, and this initiative positions Mason Athletics more effectively to meet and exceed fan expectations.

For those wishing to purchase alcohol, verification of age and issuance of wrist bands will be completed at the concession stands. Fans will be permitted to buy a maximum of two drinks at a time at designated stands on the North and South concourse, with sales ending at the under 12:00 minute time out of the second half.

In addition, Patriot Club donors with passes to either the Green or Gold Room will now be able to exit those areas and carry one beer or wine with them when departing for their seats after pregame and halftime.

Penn did a pretty good job scoring against a tough defensive team in Florida State, and we would’ve cracked 80 but for several missed bunnies … wouldn’t be surprised to see this one go over.
