Game 24: AT Fordham University, Wednesday, February 7, 7 PM, Atlantic 10 Network

[Jack Strop]

According to Kenpom, in-conference, Fordham defensively is first in steal% and 5th in turnover % (vs 14th and 9th respectively for Mason). (Edit: just noticed that for the season against all opponents, Fordham's defense is first in steal % and 36th in turnover %).

On the other hand, offensively Fordham is 14th in both turnover and steal %. (Mason is 8th and 7th on those same statistics).

Edit: Also worth noting: Fordham is 350th in Offensive Rebounding %; we're 207th. In addition, Fordham is 345th in 3 pt %; we're 305th.

Looks like this game might be a giant cluster-fuch in the paint. Cram 'em in the middle and force each team try to win with jumpers and treys. It could be ugly folks.

This might be one of those games where outsiders say, "this is so ugly, why doesnt Fordham go back to the Patriot League and Mason back to the CAA??"

Fordham is a weak favorite by:

• 1 pt (Kenpom)
• .5 (rpiforecast)
• 2.5 (vegasinsider; opened as a 3 pt favorite)

Do you hold out Jaire Grayer for more rest for his foot?

I think rebound opportunities will be bountiful. I hope he plays.

Depends if you think you have a shot without him. Would prefer him healthier for a tougher game in front of a big crowd on Saturday.

Outsiders? Insiders? Everyone already says it.

I like this game - well done!

As usual, no idea how this game goes.

I'm gonna guess the typical come out flat, get down by double digits, crawl back and make it close - then we could either win a close one or lose by double digits.

I like this game, but where is the "son" and the "ham"

 

[psyclone]

Jaire is listed as a probable starter in the game notes on gomason.com

Didn't want to copy, so just went with the first syllable

So Fordham is really bad. Chartouney has apparently mailed it in and is going to transfer next year. They feature 4 euro dirk types except the fact they can't shoot. Without sengfelder who transferred this has to be a win. Mason by 17. The 5 foot 3 walkon would get minutes on Fordham

Say it loud and proud brother!

These guys are the blind and deaf sisters of the Chesapeake Bay aside from charcuterie, we lose this and we deserve to go ahead and punch our ticket to the play in game.

Pretty sure Fordham is thinking the same about us.

 

[GMU_DCU]

Announcer just said Fordham has only 6 scholarship players available tonight, so we lose by 20

Also if this game is played and no fans are in the arena to watch it, does it count?
