[GMU-B]

Haha ref bailed out that dude, he was falling.

 

[GMU_DCU]

Smart by Grayer there, love basketball iq

 

[GMU-B]

I just heard the announcer say we are one of the youngest teams in DI. If I am reading the following link correctly, it looks like we are the youngest.

These announcers think that Dayton is the Pistons from the 80s. Elite defense? Really? They are tied with Wagner for 33rd in the country. Not sure I call that elite. Top 10 is elite

 

[GMUYoda]

I'll give them credit for fighting back... but that 20-0 run killed them

 

[gmubrian]

If I never hear the name Scoochie 0r these announcers again, I'll be happy...

I love how we battled back, but you're not going to win many games against good teams when you turn the ball over 17 times and give up 20-0 runs. Good lesson for your young guys against a really talented squad on the road.

The best part of this outcome is I believe we covered by 1. Screw everybody who bet against us!

 

[GMU_DCU]

Game could have gotten real ugly glad they didn't get blown out of the building although would like to see this team get over the hump with a signature win to give the program a boost going into next year.

Notice after giving up some key offensive rebounds to URI that Moore is no longer on low block for opposing free throws. Interesting.

Hmm - interesting. I hadn't even noticed he has been on the low block. Despite his rebounding prowess those have gotta be tough to get as 6'2" guy from a stand still position.

We actually lost by one. As I bet Mason.

 

[JimP]

I'd be ecstatic with 11-7, happy with 10-8, alright with 9-9 and disappointed with 8-10 at this point. Though if you'd have asked me at the beginning of the season I'd have been very happy with 8-10.

 

[gmutom]

It was nice to see Newman (11 points on 4-7 shooting) and Boyd (9 points on 4-9 shooting) have solid offensive games, especially since the rest of our backcourt (Moore, Livingston, Grayer and Kier) shot a combined 12-37 (32%).

[Note to Mason Crew: My bad, I thought the final line was 14.]

 

[GSII]

Gotta beat GW!!! Guess the AD is organizing buses to take our convoy down to foggy bottom? Maybe even throw a few beers in their seats. Oh wait... I think passed out for a few seconds. Please excuse me.

 

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

Love the fight in this team. Not mad at all. No matter how bad it gets they just never quit.​

With that kind work ethic and mental fortitude good things are bound to happen.

Karmari is going to have the biggest jump in stats next year. He is just so silky smooth and deliberate with his takes to the basket. With his size, speed shooting and growing confidence in his penetration game, he'll be dangerous.

 

[GSII]

A Richmond loss would be nice.

 

[Washingtonian]

Grayer with 13 points and 13 rebounds.

 

[Pablo]

Grayer with 13 points and 13 rebounds.

"Sophomore Jaire Grayer led the Green & Gold with 13 points and also grabbed a career-best 13 rebounds to post the first double-double of his Mason career."

VegasInsider had Dayton as a 12.5 favorite; we lost by 13. If Jalen had made either of those otherwise meaningless foul shots would have allowed us to cover. Maybe your bookie is giving more points than Vegas!

You are correct. I got the 12-point line and 144 over-under mixed up. Fortunately, I stopped betting on sports a long time ago. Not worth the misery, even on nights when I won.

 

[MasonCrew]

Man - apart from that 20-0 run we played well.

Of course that's equivalent to saying apart from the AIDs I'm healthy.
