Just win.

I feel like this is the biggest game of Tony Skinn's time at George Mason so far

Agree?

The past week for sure. Dominating Rhody for HC after early season buzzer beater loss, a solid road OT win at SLU and yesterday's miracle in Fairfax.

We are exactly 1 win next Saturday @ vcu away from being an AP Top 25 team.

Next week is our bracket buster game. Biggest regular srason game since we played at Wichita State in 2006.

That 2006 Wichita State game was a war. And Tony was a warrior then. And still is.

Gotta pray the refs don’t let vcu play prison rules like they usually do at home. I can see BOC and KD getting it stolen off them a lot of the refs let vcu get handsy.

We should have all our player walk onto the court and pull their pockets inside out to let it be known who owns the prison yard.

Didn’t CTS hit the deciding 3 pointer that won us the bracket buster game against Wichita State in the regular season?

Who is going to watch this game in-person?

 

[Mason2006Patriot]

I'm hearing a lot of talk and hype about this game on social media.

 

[NewPatriot]

This vcu roster includes the most experienced, talented, skilled and deepest stape of guards in Rams history. They press at an elite level in the full court and the half court for 40 minutes but it's also their weakest front court in school history.

Mason has a week to solve the press...it can't take advantage of Haynes if the guards are turning it over...if Mason can get it past half court and run inside out offense..they have a chance...but its all about Mason's guards vs the vcu backcourt pressure.

Seriously, I want to live. Are you actively trying to kill me?

 

[Patriot Lawdog]

Prison rules always apply down there. The difference this year is we have a bunch of tough SOBs that can handle it. If and, its a big if, we can keep the turnovers reasonable, I like our chances. We've shown we won't crack even if things go south for a stretch of the game.

Im most worried about BOC bc im not sure if he's seen this type of pressure in that redneck environment. KD is for sure fighting somebody and Im all in with him.

My wife already said she needs vodka while I watch the game next week. I don’t want her to have to call an ambulance lol.

 

[phoenix-arizona]

Jeeze what would be the score at the end of regular time?

I’m going to down a handful of CBD gummies before the game. Keep my BP in control.

Remember, we played against Shaka Smart on the road earlier in the season, which is the 19tg ranked defense in the country and averages 1.3 spg more than vcu. They’ve seen this kind of pressure before.

Now the wheel blew off and we got rolled in the last 4 minutes at Marquette, but this team is better now than it was then. So who knows?

 

[Jack Strop]

My take... this game cones down to our backcourt fortitude and our bench. I'm not too worried about the starting five. If Mason protects the ball and gets good production from the bench, keeping everyone as fresh as possible and making strong contributions across the board, then we have a great chance to pull off the BIG V (whereas, overcoming vcu on Saturday would be a victory, not just a W).
