Game 24: HOMECOMING! GMU (18-5 / 9-1) vs Rhode Island (15-7 / 4-6) on Saturday, February 8, at 4:00 PM.

Bad last 5 minutes of the half. It was 40-24 Mason with 5:16 left.

Mason leads 46-40 at the half

 

[Milt Mudflap]

7 layups allowed in the first half seems less than ideal.

Yes, just started when I tuned in…

That’s the Darius Maddux we needed. Between him and Begg, I am not at all used to seeing this many 3s go in, but I’ll take it.

But yeah the defense is off. Too many easy drives.

 

[gmutom]

Billups and KD both have 2 fouls and 0 points

You don’t see the correlation between not being able to score from the bench when you have to sit with two fouls? Also, that was arguably our best offensive half of the year. Uncharacteristically bad defense is what has made this game way closer than it should be.

 

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

Begg 12 points
Maddox 18 points

 

[GMUYoda]

67-51 Mason leads... we need a strong last 10 minutes

 

[CarlD]

1. Get Darius to 30 please
2. Oh hey Jalen showed up, that’s cool
3. Whoever operates the shot clock botched that last play HARD

 

[Milt Mudflap]

Student too drunk to stand laying halfway in the handicapped stall. His friends trying to get him up and back to the dorm. Reminds me of football games when I went to WVU in the 80s lol. Never seen that here before.

 

[Milt Mudflap]

I’d like to shove this bald shrimp ref in a trash can.

 

[GMU79]

First place is fun. Let's continue to be the hunted guys!!

 

[GMUgemini]

So how many crowd members did GMu79 eat after Maddox went 4-6 from 3?

Enquiring minds want to know.

 

[gmutom]

Really solid win. Love the defensive adjustments in the second half. We’re going to be tough to beat when Maddox and Haynes both show up like that in the same game.

 

[NewPatriot]

Finally, Mason moved around, shared the ball, got open looks, hit shots, closed out, stepped on their necks and won convincingly..

Do it again!!!

 

[FlPatriot]

Tune back out

I was brave and watched…eureka…I AM the charm…

 

[DRK331]

Mason wins 82-67

 

[GMUYoda]

Most complete game of the season? Only 8 TOs as well

[Patriotsince81]

A win is a win is a win. That's all that matters. Our worst defensive half of the season combined with our best offensive half of the season. 10-1.
