Game 21: George Washington University, Sunday, January 31st, Noon, NBCSN

[JimP]

So is it good for us that they played a double ot game and lost (tired, dispirited) or bad because they want to get back to winning ways and won't be sleeping on us?

Bad - but I've got no data to back that up. Hope my gut feeling is wrong.

Following each of their previous 4 losses this year, they have won the following game by 8, 17, 27, and 4 points respectively.

Dammit, there's the data.

Goff's story with a Longergan quote on how GW isn't playing well on defense. Richmond did go to the basket with regularity but also was hot from 3 at least in the first half.

Three of which were home games. The 17 point win on the road was over UCF.

I have an extra ticket for the game, PM me if you want it.

GW had better get us while they can. They lose the core of their team in Larsen, Garino and McDonald, and we're not going to be anybody's punching bag for much longer.

I tend to agree - I like the effort of the guys we have, but GMU is overmatched in the A-10 right now. I think some experienced college players in the mix would help. Might as well take advantage of the skyrocketing number of transfers each year. Lately it seems we just have a bunch of guys transferring out without picking up any transfers ourselves.

We have not done too well lately with our transfers. Okiloji (can't even remember how to spell his name) inexplicably started and was terrible and finally benched. Royal has played fewer games than Rudy this season. It seems like our thought process was that if a player came from a Power 6 conference, Big East (at the time) and ACC, then that the player must be good. I do not see any Robert Carters or Seth Allens looking to transfer into Mason.

You do realize who recruited those players, right? And the fact that a, Okoloji's mom went to said person's high school, and b, said person recruited Royal not once, but twice.

Not impressed with GW at all. How did they beat UVA? Are they injured? Talent level appears blah.

 

[MASONscott]

Marko is playing well. Only 2 points, but rebounding well and grwat D. Guards are starting to getting nice penetration 27-26 bad guys up one.

Good effort - experience just won out. A few lousy possessions down the stretch did Mason in.
