Evidently, there aren't any. ;-)

Dear Mason Ticket Office,

You may cancel my request to ignore all Brians trying to purchase Season tickets and trying give you lots of money. Turns out the guys name was Brien with an "E." My apologies to all the Brians out there that may have been effected by this.

Watching the GW-UMass on CSN with GW holding a 5 pt lead. Steves and Cavanaugh scoring in close. Who are we rooting for here? Other than hoping for a triple overtime?!

UMass has two threads on their forum about firing their coach. Between those two threads the are over 1000 post lol. I don't think we had half that amount for Blewitt.

Never mind. GW went on a run in a last 10 minutes to turn an even game into a pretty one-sided one.

While we lost the game, last year at Mason Marco frustrated Cavanaugh by playing him very physical all over the court. Obviously we can't afford for Jalen to do that, but I would enjoy seeing Ian match up some with him and play extremely physical. He may get whistled a lot in their gym, but Cavanaugh can get flustered pretty easily.

If we're gonna finish in the top half of the league, we have to figure out how to beat GW on Sunday.

Lose and they have the tiebreaker against us with two games left.

Doesn't get much more straightforward than that.

I say Paulsen should check out the tapes of Richmond against GW this year. They've beaten them twice while GMU has handled Richmond. Cavanaugh is going to get his - gotta prevent a guy like Roland from going off again. Checked last games box score he was 7-8 with 20 off the bench. Tough match up with all the length.

OT: There is some speculation on the GW message board that Chris Caputo could be GW's next coach - see http://www.gwhoops.com/default.aspx?mid=rzrkzwte135:

"I think it all depends on how close GW's new president is with Miami assistant Chris Caputo. If they are close, I'm assuming he would hire Caputo because he would want 'His Handpicked Guy' as coach. Villanova associate head coach Baker Dunleavy(son of the current Tulane coach and former NBA player/coach Mike Dunleavy) and UMBC's Ryan Odom(or did someone mention him) are names that can be added to the Coaching Lists thread. B.Dunleavy is an interesting possibility when you consider his bloodlines and the fact that he's been coaching under Jay Wright who has dominated the Big East for years and won the NCAA title last year."

If Caputo was going to take a head coaching gig, I think he would have done it by now. Isn't he pretty much the head coach in waiting at Miami for whenever Larranaga retires?

I don't know, but an A-10 school would be a pretty plum gig for a first time head coach ... even if it is GW.

http://gomason.com/news/2017/2/24/m...enews-revolutionary-rivalry-sunday-at-gw.aspx:

"Grayer is a big contributor to Mason's 8-7 A-10 season. In conference games, he is second in the A-10 in 3-point percentage (.468, 36-77), fifth in 3pt FG made/game (2.4) and 10th in rebounding (6.6 rpg). He has scored 10+ points in 13 of 15 A-10 games this season.

Since double-doubles have been kept by the NCAA (2009-10), the record for a guard is 20 (Andre Roberson - Colorado). Marquise Moore's 17 are the most by a player 6-2 and under (next closest is 11).

Two Mason freshmen have hit their stride over the past few games. Ian Boyd is averaging 7.5 points and shooting 46.2% in 19.5 minutes over the past two games. Karmari Newman is averaging 9.3 points and shooting 45.5% (5-11) from deep over the past three.

Mason is shooting 83.4 percent (131-157) from the free throw line over the past six games. The Patriots are 56th nationally in free throw percentage (.741) and gets 23.5 percent of its points from the line (19th nationally).

HISTORY vs. GEORGE WASHINGTON
Sunday's game marks the 20th all-time meeting in the Revolutionary Rivalry. GW holds a 17-2 advantage in the series. George Mason and George Washington are separated by just 20 miles. The Patriots are 2-5 against the Colonials at home and 0-12 on the road. GW has captured all seven meetings in A-10 play, including an 87-68 victory on Jan. 25 in Fairfax.Marquise Moore (15 pts, 10 reb), Otis Livingston II (17 points, 7-14 FG) and Ian Boyd (12 pts) led the Patriots in the game.

A LOOK AT THE COLONIALS (15-13, 7-8 A-10)
George Washington was picked eighth out of 14 teams in the 2016-17 Atlantic 10 preseason poll. The Colonials posted an 8-5 non-conference record. GW has won three of its past four games. The Colonials rank behind only Mason in A-10 rebounding margin (+5.7). The Colonials are led by graduate student Tyler Cavanaugh, who paces the team in scoring (17.3 ppg), rebounding (8.0 rpg) and is second in assists (2.1 apg). Junior Yuta Watanabe chips in 11.4 ppg and 5.0 rpg, while Seton Hall transfer Jaren Sina leads the team in assists (3.1 apg). Sina also averages 9.3 points and shoots 38.7 percent (53-137) from 3-point territory."
