...this run of the past 7-8 games can't be impressing Edwards...

But Hewitt will tell you how tough the A-10 is.....tough, tough to compete and win..

 

[phoenix-arizona]

Bummer. Way to keep fighting back I guess ?

 

[BandWagon18]

Fire Paul Hewitt. A better coach could win with this team.

 

[gmutom]

The sad thing is this was one of our better defensive games of the year, especially against one of the best players in the league. Too bad our inept offense can't outscore the amount of points we permit.

 

[Quentin Daniels]

December 8, 2013 - last time a Hewitt coached team had a winning record (5-4).

Dec 8, 2009 - last time a Larranaga team had a losing record (4.5).

It would be more interesting if the players just ignored Hewitt and started looking at an assistant for instruction. It couldn't be any worse. And it would make Hewitt look like the a** he is.

I agree. The GUYS did a play hard.

 

[GSII]

Playing hard is good. Playing smart is better. Being smart means you have been prepared.

It certainly appeared to me that the team was well prepared for this game.

Pablo

Not me!

Not me!

It was a joke. I am assuming you are in the older end of the crowd given some of your posts. Given your ability of track and report on Mason statistics, you, obviously, have much better technology than that guy.

But, at least I have eliminated one person in the boards search for who might be Pablo. If things keep going this way, you might be one of only ten people at going to our games, then it should be easy to pick you out.

So after after today's game:
The good news: We stayed only 6 games behind vcu in the quest for first place
The bad news: Fordham is now only 1 game behind us in the quest to stay out of last place

Oh wow. I don't know how they get a winning record with those really hard early season non-conferences they schedule.

 

[DeepValue]

What's the under/over on wins the rest of the way?

What's the under/over on wins the rest of the way?

I don't know the Vegas odds, but I'm thinking 2 -- St. Louis (they are awful this year) and Fordham.

We might be able to catch Richmond or URI at home, but that's doubtful. We could also easily lose to both St. Louis and Fordham.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Got to be 2. With the tourney included MAYBE 3.

Pretty much the four teams playing in the play-in round are now obvious: us, Duquesne, Fordham and St. Looey.

Really the only drama as far as the season left is if Hewitt can avoid the cellar regular season, and advance out of the play-in round.

 

[Walter]

Or avoid February 28

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Or avoid February 28

That is anyone's guess. But I am confident barring a miracle, Hewitt is fired after the A-10 tourney latest. I see no reason for us to use our set one of us on fire gimmick to ice it.
