Game 21: George Washington University, Saturday, January 26th, 7 PM, MASN/ESPN+

[Patriotsince81]

A win is a win is a win. Ugly at home, which seems to be the norm. I'm trying to get used to it but I hope it doesn't last much longer. Great time meeting Washingtonian! Thank you for everything you do to benefit the boards. Thanks also to MasonScott, sleeperpick, and p8triotfan4life. Always a good time shooting the breeze and sharing thoughts on GMU hoops. Good people.

Wow. 11 - 26 from the free throw line.

We all bet the over

I bet the over on the total score, 4th time this year that hasn't happened. All were at home too.

Really weird how they kept missing but I suspect just a weird day. They’ll need to do better obviously.

It might be sooner than that honestly. It seems like the bandwagon has started.

Probably not against La Salle or UMass...

Duquesne is homecoming and that’s going to probably be a sneakily important one. Could be a packed house that night.

Wow is GW awful...glad we survived a game we should have won by 20 if we made free throws at our normal rate. Javon and Reuter are my players of the game, and Miller had some freshman moments out there tonight. Ref had some pretty baffling calls but I believe both coaches were pissed about it so it went both ways.

Added another poster to the block list today too

I think it’s 7,850 with the tarps.

I have a feeling if we keep winning, we might have to open up those sections when vcu comes to play.

Doubt we can take them off. Probably part of the sponsorship deal. They were on during homecoming last year so I suspect they can’t be removed game-by-game.

Speaking of doo doo free throw shooting... some poor bastard from St. Louis missed both free throws with 2 seconds left in the game. They lost to Davidson by 1.

That is two losses in a row for St. Louis - Davidson seems to have taken their spot.

Who knows. If mason keeps winning it won’t matter who they play.

I agree homecoming could be very important. Top4 positioning could be on the line.

Channel 4 showed highlights and clips from both coaches.

Stop doing that.

He has been playing great defense and forced two turnovers on GW

This is a little late to comment but no he absolutely hasn’t. Based off of real stats not eye test. Reuter is the best passing big man of the last decade though.

In the past two games he has done very well on defense and had a great defensive game tonight

Not that intelligent posts happen on this forum as proven by the post right before this one but I'll provide one:

George Washington:

314 in adjusted offensive efficiency
324 in effective FG%
314 in offensive rebounding %
309 in 3 point percentage
307 in 2 point field goal percentage
302 in FT percentage

Sure I was being hyperbolic, as there's like 353 D1 teams I believe.. but dozens of them are HBCUs or programs that are essentially operating on budgets that could barely run high schools.

George Washington is certainly one of the worst teams in the country that has a real budget and it's humiliating to play this poorly against them.

While you may be a dick at least you post stats and not feelings like half of the people on this forum. GW absolutely sucks at every facet of basketball

Nice win, it was good to see Mason buckle down in the second half on d, and get some space point wise. It stunk to see them go cold in the final 5 minutes but they held them off. It doesn’t have to be pretty but they got the win and that’s fine.

Not sure what was up with the free throw shooting but I’m going to take that as an anomaly. I’m going to guess they’ll be shooting a lot tomorrow. Make another 5 or 10 and it’s a different outcome. They shoot very well normally from there which is nice.

Really impressed with how Reuter has progressed with his offense and continues to grow on defense. It definitely opens offense up.

Also happy to see a full and loud arena tonight. I have a feeling the bandwagon is starting and winning against a local rival is a very good thing. The team is going to have to play some very good ball against vcu but I feel confident they’ll be ready to go.

Matt idk what you need to see that Reuter is a sieve on defense and bricks so many layups off the Front rim. He’s an amazing passer for a big and plays decent help side. Other Than that he is extremely below average. You’re way too smart for this take

Based on stats Reuter played 24 minutes had 10 points , 6 rebounds and 4 assists. He also forced four turnovers. He was also good at putting their big Spanish guy and the their version Jai Lewis our of position for shots.

Stats on this game and my eye test Trump you being an unpleasant a**.

Again analytically you are wrong but ok

You’re too dumb to do this but the big Spanish guy is their backup big man as their starter is out for the season. He’s not good at all. Look up any advanced analytic on Reuter defensively and you will see he is absolutely trash compared to the norm.

Nope I am quite correct
