Playing on the road. This is one of those games we should win. It's another chance to get above .500 in the league for the first time in our brief A10 history. It all adds up to a 5 point loss.

 

[GMUSig03]

10+ point win, no doubt. Let's hang a new jumbotron from the roof in EBA so the roof collapses and we are forced to play our remaining games on the road.

Feel like GMU should win this as long as they don't have a repeat performance of the worst half of the season that occurred last time against St. Louis.

 

[GSII]

Two road wins in a row for a 2nd time this year, for such a young team, would be highly impressive.

On a side note, Looking like the Davidson game is gonna be a big game gor our standing in the league

 

[GreenLantern]

Us - 77
Them 75
OT

We win:

68
62

despite the LWLWLWLW pattern Mason has created, i think we win this one easy. Take the lessons learned from the loses to SLU and GW and come out on top.
Mason - 82
SLU - 67

Can't afford to get swept by this sh!tty team and still finish in the top half of the A-10.

 

[MasonCrew]

This is a must win for me. Not that it really is, but I'd like to be able to to say that again, so I'm going to start saying it.

FYI - For those complaining about Mason's ticket prices - St Louis games are $32 each. They do have some $12 available way up top on the ends.

Cost of living in St Louis is 15% above what it is in Fairfax.......

St. Louis's site indicate the game will be available for streaming at a site called foxsportsgo. Checked it out and didn't see it listed there. Doesn't appear to be available via A-10 Network.

I'm well aware. Tomorrow will be my 6th or 7th event there. It's a beautiful arena. I'm hoping Edwards has had a chance to see it, because if it every came time to build a new place in Fairfax, I would hope that Chaifetz would be one of the models to copy from.

I just wish the tip tomorrow was at 7:00 ct time instead of 6:00 - always have to accommodate you eastern time zone mf'ers!

Blame FOX Midwest!

It actually works out pretty well. It takes me about 90 min to get to Chaifetz, so I'll leave at 3:30 and grab something to eat on the way. The early start should get me home by 10:00 at the latest.

I just hope I'll be in a good mood after the game. Those 90 min drives after a loss kind of suck.
