Lol back to within 8

Otis is so good at times. Feels like we are down 20, yet somehow only down 8...Lets go Mason!

Man...would I love for Mason to get a lights out shooter like Mobley or Adams. Take some pressure off of Otis..

Of course GMU's D makes Caputo look all-world.

If Dave Paulsen stays inept at creating a defense that works or an inbounds play that an 8th grader could run. I'm 26 years old getting gray hairs at these games lately. What the flying f was he thinking putting Otis on mobley when they had taquee who can't shoot? We called it in the gold room after the assistant said Otis was guarding mobley. If they didn't hack so much as wel as us getting bailed out by officials we would have lost by 30. I'm getting sick and tired of watching this poor game planing

The color guy talked about how Otis ended up overmatched because of a switch...we're familiar with that unfortunately.

Just not true unfortunately. In the gold room the coach said he was going to be guarding him all night. So just purely bad game planning

 

[JimP]

Also...it'd sure be nice to have a grad transfer that could help with all the youth. I know Reuter is helping, but I'd love to have a men's version of Natalie Butler on the court. Hell, half as good as Butler on the men's side.

Not guarding Kaputo was the game...a guy coming in averaging 3.4 points per game provided the margin of victory.

Looks like some of the sheep on here are starting to wake up. About time people. Fire Paulsen now!

 

[Patriotsince81]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at how inept we are. How can you give up 49 points in a half? You know who their best players are and let you let them just go off. It's just plain sad. Offensively, we have Otis. Defensively, we have no one. What a great combination. Face it Patriots fans, we stink.

 

[Patriotsince81]

Extremely disappointed in Jaire. Not ready for prime time player. He absolutely disappeared. Wow.

 

[PoorManProfit]

I bet Paulsen slammed a lot of Diet Mountain Dew tonight. Nice job again coach!!!! Someone contact Matt Brady.

 

[Patriotsince81]

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.

Called the score exactly. Who is buying the beer?

Bad recruiting and roster management. Staff screwed the roster. For example, DeAndre Abrhams would of been of help this year. But no, he got pushed out. Fine, but who took his place? Nobody. Just dumb. The multiple mistakes will cost us. Where is the PG to take over for Otis? None signed. Couldnt sign Tre Wood who played for Mason legend Lamar Butler and for a Paulsen disciple in h.s. .....if you can't close that deal, then your just a prick. And dont give me he didn't want to wait a year while playing behind Otis bs...he could of taken Kier's mins since he is regressing. Paulsen said Kier was having great off season. Yea ok prick, where is it? Kid cant even shoot now. Are we finishing in top 4 in 2 or even 3 years? Hell no f**k no.

 

[Five Two]

I blame Chris Caputo for not recruiting Nelson Kaputo

I had no idea St Bonaventure has as many Final Fours as we do. Theirs came in 1970 with Bob Lanier (he got hurt in the regional finals and missed the national semi final game vs Jacksonville and the third place game vs New Mexico St. How about that Final Four- UCLA, St Bona, New Mexico St and Jacksonville. meh) I feel like our Final Four trip was that long ago too.

 

[Jack Strop]

Look, Paulsen haters. We know your position regarding the coach. Every time we suffer an ugly loss, you knuckleheads spring forward to dance at the weenie roast, cross your swords, and shout, "Tee-hee, fire Paulsen!"

But the fact is, for now, Paulsen is going to stay for awhile. Edwards is not going to put himself on his own hook and buy out the remaining four years (or is it five years?) of Paulsen's contract. Your insight isn't going to change Brad's commitment to him.

So, go off and finish tonight's little circle jerk and don't come back until you have something more meaningful to say.

 

[GSII]

My complaints reach more towards next year. Otis and Jaire' final season. Two guys who were cornerstones of our so called rebuild, and both deserve to go dancing.

It's a problem to most to watch mistakes happen repeatedly. And then there's the slimy salesman pitch about trusting an unexplained process. Mistakes are gonna cost us fans, yes. But it's gonna hurt our two cornerstone guys more.

Some people, like yourself, want to forgive Lil Dave, and give him more time. Others just point out how he screwed up the roster delaying potential success another 3 -4 years. Surely Brad isnt gonna fire him. Atleast stop extending him.

I love how you nitpick two totally random things and blame the team's shortcomings for it. Abram, who Mason won 20+ games with on the bench last year, yeah he was real valuable. And Tre Wood, a recruiting story you have no insight on.
