Everyone is bigger, stronger, and more experienced than us. I think we may be looking at between 1 and 3 more wins the rest of the way out. Defensively we continue to struggle and will once again give up 80+. Bonnies win this one 85 - 69.

 

[PoorManProfit]

The league stinks, but still can't find a team that I can, objectively, say the Patriots can beat recently.

St. Bonaventure 76
G Mas 70

 

[GMU_DCU]

We get off to a slow start and go down by 12 or 14 points early. Claw back to within 8 at the break. Start second half slow and lose by double digits. Goanar Mar makes all his Free Throws.

82-70 SBU

 

[Patriot8]

I have to think/hope that Javon Greene gets it going in this game. If I remember correctly, against vcu he had a really good look from 3, and also drove the baseline and missed a short floater. He never looks like he is taking a 3 in rhythm, I guess it's still nerves. The ability to get his own shot is there, and it seems more natural for him to drive in and react at this point. He's getting great looks, just not converting yet.

 

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

Duquesne has an overall record of 14-8 and has an RPI 0f #220.
The Bonnies have a record 14-6 and has an RPI of #51.

So what does this mean? Mason wins 85-72

Us 78
Them 85

[MasonCrew]

Don't really care what happens as long as the board isn't overrun by mildly insane St. Bonnie's posters.

 

[GreenLantern]

Anything is better than being overrun by vcu nutjobs. Still fumigating the place from last week.

In checking my channel guide, Verizon Fios-Fairfax shows channel 508 (News channel 8) carrying the game at 7 pm.

 

[TweederGMU]

Adams is going to get his 15+ points. Need to shut down their supporting cast in order to have a shot. Our Defense and Rebounding are awful so we get the L.

Goodguys 64
Turds in the basket bowl 74

I have Xfinity, but I should have done a search anyway. So much for Stadium's website being updated!

 

[GMUgemini]

Too many weapons, too many players to overcome. I don't have much hope for this game.

Like all the games, hope for the best plan for the worst.

They have experienced and talented guards. They have a few bigs. Usually its not a good recipe for Mason. I'm hoping they work hard and put forth a great effort tonight on the defensive end, and we'll see what happens. I just dont' see them having enough to pull this one off though.

St Bonaventure 75
Mason 67

As Mason89 noted, I mistakenly posted this on the vcu thread:

Kenpom: Mason is a 9 pt underdog
Rpiforecast: 8.9 underdog
Vegasinsider: 7.5 underdog

Meanwhile, Kenpom now has us as an 8 pt underdog

Thanks for posting the odds, psyclone. Wish they were more in our favor, though...

The way the A-10 has been going this season, anything is possible.

I will be surprised if we will be favored in any games for the remainder of the season (except for Fordham).

 

[dr. gunnie]

Since I don't expect us to win tonight, we will probably have our best game of the season and pull out the W.

Mason -78
St Bonaventure - 74

I live in Montgomery County, MD
I knew I was going to be taking Amtrak up to NYC last night and coming back today. There was no way I could get into Union Station, take MARC or Metro to Maryland and drive to EBA tonight due to traffic. I woke up early yesterday, drove to McLean to park my car, took Metro to Union Station so that when I get back today, I can make it out to EBA. So for all my efforts to attend tonight.....we better f'n win.
