Love beating the Spiders!

 

[Yossarian]

From the looks of the calls, I’d say the ref with the whitewalls haircut collected about $5k from the mid-majors bookies.

 

[GMUgemini]

Didn’t get to watch the game but I’ll take any win no matter how hard, especially when Gaines goes 1-10 from the field.

Should also add: and when Gustavson, Sherod, and Grace are a combined 7-8 from three!

 

[NewPatriot]

Awesome win.

 

[sleeperpick]

Don’t usually complain about the refs but woof that was ugly. What a great game and true grit from our guys. Schwartz is a bad bad man

 

[tblack33]

GL I don’t know how you root for these OTs I feel like I just ran a f**king marathon.

 

[gmutom]

Great win! That was definitely needed after enduring two heartbreaking buzzer-beaters.

 

[Earl the Squirrel]

15 points on 6/11shooting, 9 assists to 2 turnovers, and a steal.

If that’s disheartening, I’ll take disheartening every game.

XJ played a great game. Put the team on his back for most of the night and hit a couple of clutch free throws, but there's no denying he made a couple of mistakes late in the game, including taking a wild layup at the 2 min mark.

But after that win all I want to do is celebrate a hard fought game. Schwartz was TREMENDOUS, as was Oduro. Took care of the ball and overcame lots of questionable calls and missed layups.

Hurray. Schwartz has been huge. I can’t remember the last time mason had a guy who just plays at such a high level like that and is such a deep threat. Overall good team effort and glad they got the split.

Big one coming up Saturday. Time to win by 40 against the fingerpaint school of Richmond


(No I do not think mason will win by 40 for the vcu fans that read this)

 

[GSII]

Nice bounce back for X....Wild ending yet again...We need to learn to stomp on throats and keep our foot there.

 

[NewPatriot]

Oduro doing oduro things

22 pts, 14 caroms, 5 assists and 1 block in 39 minutes. Coming off a concussion.

 

[Patriotsince81]

Great win tonight in spite of the worst officiating I have seen in decades. Mason wins despite 8 on 5.

 

[GreenLantern]

GL I don’t know how you root for these OTs I feel like I just ran a f**king marathon.

OT means more basketball baby!

Is Henry hurt? Looks like he did not play at all and thought he has playing better the last few games.

Went in last .07 to defend.....an area.???? Maybe the inbounder?? No I think it was an area...weird.

 

[TweederGMU]

XJ was big tonight... we needed that.

Gaines had a tough game.... he will be alright. It happens.

Schwartz is a gamer..... love his tenacity along with Coop.

Oduro not going at their 2nd forward that much was head scratching.... majority of the time he would post him up and just pass out. Josh needs to have that killer dog mentality that he is the best player on the court and just go after whoever is guarding him...especially 2nd stringers.

Henry is not hurt... he was put in on the last possession since we needed height.

Buchanan is just balling out..... solid D from that guy and doesn't make mistakes. He will continue to get mins moving forward.

I know he is young but KE really needs to control his emotions on the sideline.... multiple times he ran down the bench so pissed off and reeling at the calls. Yes.... they were bad put you HAVE to have composure in games.

That one ref with the black hair was straight awful. Fans in my section let him hear it when he came off the court... it was glorious.

 

[Jack Strop]

Great win tonight in spite of the worst officiating I have seen in decades. Mason wins despite 8 on 5.

This just in... Tonight, Grant Golden became the first player in NCAA history to commit five fouls in a single possession and foul out of a game! If only...

Geeee-God those refs were AWFUL!

Not weird....need to be in position to guard against a 3, hence he was lining up near the arc. No point in guarding against a 2 when your up by 3.
