Mason has been awful since the 8 day hiatus and very lucky not to be 6-3.

We're need to play eons better on the better on the offensive side on the ball, step on the opponents necks and decisively close out games with consistent double digit wins before I feel that way.

THIS. I've now become weary of the double bye. If we just forget how to play then whats the point of winning when we'll stay as one and done.
The other thing I get weary about is what to me atleast, is our ceiling. Once we hit about 64 points in a game and we're in the lead with around 4 or more minutes left I just know that the other team is about to close in and we are about to blow our lead and score maybe 2 more buckets in the remainder of the game. Not sure why we dont have that closeout ability.

Yeah but the other team we would play on Friday only play one day earlier (potentially two depending how the bracket shakes down). At that point you take the advantage of playing someone who already played the day before.

GAME DAY

Need this win!

 

[TweederGMU]

Need to shoot well all around and make our damn FT's. FT's are going to help us win or either lose us this game.

Goodguys 70
Caputo's Cronies 66

Philosophical question: I haven't been able to get to a game this year due mainly to work and family stuff, but I could make it tonight. That being said, we're rolling and I feel like I should stay home until we lose one. What say the forum?

Alright, I’m blessing you lot with my presence

UPDATE: this place still f**king blows lol

 

[BraddockBeach]

I really liked Colonials for their name instead of Revolutionaries. Anyway, lets get this dub

 

[The Great PATSby]

Da Fuhhhks up with this commentator’s voice. Sounds like the Cajun assistant coach from The Water Boy after eating a bowl full of lemons.

 

[jessej]

Seems to be less people here than when they played at GMU

 

[FreeGunston12]

With the start our guards have had, you really gotta hope that Begg can spark something.

 

[Where's the party?]

Guard play is atrocious

 

[gmutom]

GW’s pressure is bothering O’Connor and KD. Our other wings need to help them out.

 

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

Begg is our only guard worth a sh it right now.

 

[Where's the party?]

May be the ugliest half I've ever seen. Both teams shooting 26%

 

[gmutom]

That honestly could be the worst half of college basketball I have ever seen. Thank God GW was worse than we were, because that’s the only reason we are leading at halftime.

 

[FreeGunston12]

How long can we continue to play like this and keep winning?

 

[gmulion]

Ugly. Turnovers and missed layups. Lucky to be up 6 at the half.

 

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

In very limited minutes Begg had 2 of our 5 assists in the first half.

Till we play vcu?

 

[Mason Trooper]

Lmao this game is an eye sore

 

[gmutom]

In very limited minutes Begg had 2 of our 5 assists in the first half.

i love Begg and hope he gets more minutes in the second half, but assists are so subjective in a game like this when we’ve only made 8 baskets and have missed so many wide-open shots.

Hoping we get a lot more baskets and assists in the next 20 minutes.
