I hope so too... but I doubt it. URI will be coming into our game looking to score and angry. We need to match that and play smart basketball
Yeah I think this Fordham game was a trap game for them

Yep - they are likely to be very motivated. I've seen Iverson look good and bad this year. He wasn't very good tonight, but his length still concerns me. We kind of lucked out that Sengfelder wasn't on his game last weekend. He was tonight and killed RI. I expect that type of bounce back game from somebody on RI on Saturday.

They've got Martin too - defensive player of the year last season. They block a ton of shots and GMU is susceptible to that. For as awful as RI looked on offense tonight - they only gave up 53 points to Fordham. I have really been impressed with Mason's ability to point up a lot of points in a short amount of time during this stretch, but hope the team guards against overconfidence. I think they will.

We are at a huge disadvantage though with our remaining schedule/we lose a tie breaker to the Bonnies. It'd be nice to get top 4 but I'm not sure we can manage it. Top half with a winning record is still a hell of an achievement this year.

We need Davidson to put on its big boy pants and play some spoilers. They play URI, St. Bonnie, and Richmond over the next 5 games.

This game just got decidedly bigger and harder. They are gonna come out pissed. We need to focus on using their aggression against them and forcing turnovers from sloppy play. Let's dooooo this!!!

Iverson is the cousin of Allen Iverson. Plenty of material there for students to get an organized hazing going during the coarse of the game.

Not your cousin, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap...
Allen's better, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap...

Yes... but that would probably require us beating either Dayton or vcu... as well as beating GW and Duquesne...

URI schedule left:
Fordham (playing tonight)
@GMU
@LaSalle
vcu
@St. Josephs
Davidson

UR schedule left:
vcu
Davidson
@Fordham
@UMASS
St. Louis

I know it's good for us and our seeding for vcu to beat URI, but I can never, ever, under any circumstances, pull for vcu.
