[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

I will be taking Mason +10 though, if that is the line.

That's what Vegas Insider has it at.

422 tickets on ticketmaster, and then I saw this on the vcu boards:

Cam still got freaking fouled.

Cam still got freaking fouled.

Man I had successfully buried how mad I was about this deep under a crust of Hewitt hate, and now it's all back out in the open.

 

[Dawgs99]

Wow I forgot how much I missed Cam Long...dude was a stud. We had better guards when we were playing in the CAA.

I think you are wrong with the highlighted part of the prediction. Hewitt always calls a timeout around the 4:02 mark in the game. So I think he will have one to use at this point, but that could be his last.

Good point on use it or lose it.

Quentin, you were doing some analysis on Hewitt's pay per wins etc, well I think we have likely gotten our money's worth in timeout use under Hewitt. I am guessing that he is probably one of the best in the NCAA on that metric.

I just hope Shaka gets so frustrated at some point we see this type of frustration from him. (doubtful, but one can dream)

Mason's game notes - see http://www.gomason.com/fls/25200/Game Notes/Men's Basketball/MBB_Game_Notes.pdf?DB_OEM_ID=25200:

"Mason Against Ranked Opponents

During Paul Hewitt’s tenure, the Patriots have faced five ranked opponents. Mason has dropped all five decisions despite taking Saint Louis to overtime twice last season and suffering a onepoint loss against ranked UMass last year. Mason last faced vcu as a ranked team on March 6, 2010 when the Rams were the No. 5 team in the nation. Mason fell, 75-60, in that CAA Tournament contest. The last ranked opponent Mason defeated was No. 18 Kansas State on November 22, 2007 in the Old Spice Classic, 87-77."

Rams were No. 5 on March 6th, 2010? That's not correct, is it?

 

[MasonFanatic]

I believe they were #25

Our game notes have been leaving something to be desired in terms of accuracy in recent weeks.

As we are coming to the latter part of the season, now is not the time to be judgemental. You all need to come out and support this team.

Are you a critic or a supporter of this team? Supporters will continue to watch this team fight. To you critics: when athletes say some of the things you say, then you condemn them as quitters. Are you quitting? I believe in this team! Their effort and level of commitment should never be questioned.

We realize we still have work to do but no one should ever question the effort, intelligence, or dedication of our program. Our team deserves to be treated truthfully. This young basketball team is on the verge of earning an NCAA berth.

 

[GSII]

All is great in Patriotville.

The funniest part of that Hewitt quip was the part about intelligence. It's gotta be something. If it's not effort or dedication, it must be intelligence. He tries hard, but doesn't have the intelligence to figure stuff out. If it's not intelligence - he must not be putting in the effort. Coach Hewitt, your crappy results have to be the result of something!

What Hewitt quip? These are my own words - I didn't lift this from Hewitt!
