Funny, dark and dirty - but funny.

I say our defense is strong and our offense becomes inconsistent again:

Mason 58
SLU 55

Single OT

Crazy to think that there’s still plenty of games left and Jimerson has played 24 more career games than JMU’s Audrey Semenov.

I think Semenov is a junior if his redshirt gets approved.

Really? I thought the NCAA capped athletes at 9 redshirts?

The cap might have been raised to 12 but its still under review lol

This team traveled to Olean, NY 3 days after playing a grueling double OT game against GW and completely dominated St Bonaventure from start to finish. I expect Tony to have the team ready for SLU, especially coming off our best offensive performance in conference play.

Saint Louis boards game preview

The Bills over GM by 1

We start with a tale of 2 Joeys. We began the season with promise but needed to come together as a team. After some ups and downs in the OOC schedule we seemed to gel at the first St. J game. With the win over St. J, we were a B team poised to take the next step to B+. Since then we have moved si...

The plaintiffs lawyers are writing up the paperwork as we speak on how unfair the redshirt maximum is as well as all other restrictive rules so the NCAA should remove all restrictions and let anyone play who is enrolled (delete italicized text) regardless of academic failures, years previously played, or enrollment status.

I agree. In his last 4 games, he certainly hasn't played like a 1st team all-conference level.:
8-23 from 2,
0-4 from 3,
12 assists, but
20(!) TOs

That said, SLU did beat vcu (their first conference loss since losing their A10 opener).

Jimmerson hurt his ankle--didn't play in the 2d half vs St. Joe's. Not clear if he will be available for our game.

I watched the SJU vs. SLU game and was not impressed with Avila at all. And his numbers over the last few games are dreadful. If Jimmerson is out this ought to be a cake walk.

“Gibson Jimerson did not practice Sunday and will likely be a game-time decision Tuesday.”

So what's Fanduel Sports Network? I see that the game is listed on ESPN+ so I guess I'll stream it on that.

She licks her bat....wtf

 

[Masonman]

I hate this team mostly because they beat us and their mascot is so weird and ugly.

This is my yearly (now six, lol) chance to remind everyone that someone named "Gibson Jimmerson" should not be a basketball player, but a jug player in the employ of Charles Entertainment Cheese.

Another big game tonight. We'll see if Jimerson plays.

Mason hasn't won in St Louis since 2016. We lost by a point in 2023, in a game we really should have won.

Right now St Louis is 3 games behind us in the standings. A win tonight pushes them 4 back with 6 to play and officially guarantees us a top 4 spot (we are about 99.2% likely at the moment). We're going to get SLUs very best effort tonight and it will make for another tough road game. However, we've won @Bonaventure, Dayton, GW, etc, so I can't be too worried about that.

SLU is 9th in the league in defense, so while they won't be as easy to score on as Rhode Island, I dont expect them to be as tough as a GW or a Bonaventure. If we limit our turnovers, move the ball offensively like last game and continue to lock in defensively I like our chances.

And if you want to feel old, here is the pic I found in my phone from that game:
