I had a dream last night: Mason wins 83-75. Haynes over 20 points. The final play was Jalen dunking and yelling eat that.

You have weird dreams. Mine often involve thick Colombian women standing over me yelling eat that.

RIVALRY GAME DAY

Biggest game of the season and the biggest game of Tony Skinn's head coaching career so far

#1 George Mason vs #2 vcu

 

[mkaufman1]

Gameday. Lets fn go.

Keys to the game

Rebound. Dont let vcu crash and get extra offensive opportunities. We do well here.

Transition. Get some buckets in transition and rhythm. We will need Kd to help get us some of these buckets today.

Psyche. Dont get rattled. Theyll have 8000 screaming people. Step up to the challenge to play your best basketball.

Other things, haynes needs to be quick when doubled and probably look to deny the post entry. They will want him to dribble so they can swat at it.

Turnovers. 15 or less. And for the love of basketball, know how to get the ball inbounds.

Play this game as a bar fight like tony says, we have a shot. Keep it low scoring and make them grind for every bucket. Feel like itll be a defensive battle.

Line Mason +11....wow

Anyone going to the game today needs to wear a Hazmat suit to protect yourself from whatever disease vcu fans have

 

[GMUgemini]

Line Mason +11....wow

Because vcu has been beating everyone at home by double digits. It would not surprise me at all if we lost this by 12+, especially if they come out like they did against St. Joes. There’s no way we are clawing back from 16 in Richmond.

They need to be locked in for all 40 minutes. And they can’t shoot like crap today and expect to get away with it.

Seems like when we beat vcu it's by the skin (Skinn?) of our teeth. When we lose, we get blown out.
I'd prefer a blow out win!

Betting odds have vcu by 9 1/2.

 

[psyclone]

uncw being upset by Hampton on CBSSN with 16 minutes left. Hoping for fast-moving game that ends by 4.
Does CBSSN have a back-up channel (like espn2 can go to espn news when a games overlap)?

 

[Jack Strop]

DUDES! Get your a$$es down to Commonwealth Brewing... there's ALREADY a vcu cockroach here!

 

[DRK331]

Tons of Mason fans at the watch party right now!

Tell me we aren’t wearing the black unis on vcu blackout game?

We are. And its Genius. Steal their own energy.

 

[Pikapppatri8]

Both teams suck at free throws

 

[Enforcer]

Big man with the Euro step bucket!

 

[gmutom]

Love the defense! Need to keep that up for another 36 minutes.

 

[Pikapppatri8]

This game is going to be a rock fight and a boxing match rolled into one
