Game 27: GMU (14-12 / 6-7) at GW (12-13 / 6-6) on Wednesday, February 15, at 7:00 PM.

Vegas doesn’t mess up very often but they did here. If I had time to go place a bet in DC/Maryland before tip, I’d put every penny to my name on GW as a pick ‘em. Easy money.

Jim is hereby declared The Mush. Someone check on him and Brian. Petey, don't go copying and pasting Jim's super bet on Twitter now. Let's keep it within the fam.

Gotta have faith!

Well, Ticket shot like crap, but the Josh and Justyn show makes up for it. Good road win.

Reverse psychology works bro

 

[Where's the party?]

Gonna break with my reverse psychology picks. I actually thing we are capable of winning two in a row and pulling an upset (it's an upset when you are 2-20 in an away site, now matter what Kenpom says).

Tall George - 60
Short George - 63

Maybe I need to be optimistic more often .....

All hail the black unis!!!

 

[Bricker]

Black uni, Smith, and Larranaga curse broken in one night. Not bad!

 

[GMU79]

Only 2nd win there ever? Christ.....

At least we're not Clemson at the REAL Smith Center!

Your secret code is coming across loud and clear. You are obviously being held hostage. I have sent help your way.

All kidding aside, glad to see you have come to the dark side of the force (that was the good one, right).

Told you people that line was f-cked up! Vegas made a lot of money throwing that bait out there.

Missed layups and FTs aside and Ticket still being rusty (0-7), this was one our most complete games of the year. Fernandez was lights out, Josh displayed a great array of shots, Ronnie settled down and played a very good second half, and Singleton provided more valuable minutes on defense and running the point.

 

[Patriotsince81]

I told you all we would dominate!!!! The black unis and the fact we were on the road is a recipe for success and an epic beatdown. LOL. Nice to get a win! GW is not at all interested in playing defense.

 

[Patriotsince81]

More Devin, less Ronald please. I tire of him getting beaten on defense then pounding his chest, my bad.

I missed the game. What’s going on with Henry. Only 4 minutes of playing time.

 

[GSII]

Only 8 turnovers. What a relief to see decent stat there.

Both backup bigs didn’t play much. We really rolled with more of a guard lineup and one big. Singleton and Gaines played majority of the mins at the 4.

Mason needed guards on guards. Otherwise, Bishop and Adams would have eaten us alive with assists and layups. They're too quick when a big comes out to guard them on a switch.

Not many times that Mason used 2 bigs on the floor. More offensive space on the floor which clearly helped Josh....not too often that GW could double team him. So Justyn earned more time--25 min which is 5-10 more than usual.

I should add that I think Kim English coached one of his better games of the year. The scouting report to make Biishop go to his right slowed hIm down enough to make a difference, and we looked like we were more prepared for their press. Overall, he seemed to have a much better grasp of the rotation and in-game adjustments.

Beat me to it, I think this was KEs best coached game since Maryland last year. Good game plan, solid adjustments, and the rotation largely made sense.
