What do you want to talk about, slick? The fact we lost a game we were up 14-2? give me a break, there was nothing good to talk about.

The only nice thing I saw today was honoring the previous public address announcer who died. That was a kind gesture from the school.

This is depressing. I knew the guy and coached against him in little league 20 plus years ago. ☹️

Horrible loss, pretty lack luster performance all the way around. Still not tough enough.

Oh well, sounds like drama in Fairfax. Unfortunately distractions off the court, this may be the end. While I have doubts Fordham can get the 9 seed. I think Mason is 1 and done in Brooklyn almost no matter what. Wouldn’t shock me if they get 10 and lose to St. Louis or gw though. Just sucks this is where it’s gotten, sounds like Tony may have lost the team by no fault of his own.

May be time for Ball, Maddox, Okie and whoever is left who will be back next year getting the majority of minutes the last 3 games.

Man, he definitely didn't seem that old...

 

[GMU1983]

Good point you are right.

That’s the problem, no way to know for sure who will be back.

Good grief stop the Hall rumors!! I saw him limping!

I heard Keyshawn dropped his phone on his foot and got a big owwie when he saw the NIL offer from a top program... hence the limping.

My friend Bob sacamano talked to Keyshawn hall today- he was sitting by the window yelling to him saying “my name is bob”

It's no wonder Tony began the presser by saying he had a lot on his mind. He looked and sounded upset, angry, and preoccupied.
If things are collapsing under him, as it seems, I really feel for him.

Maybe you should pray for him.

Plenty of negative to focus on but no good will come if it. Important summer coming up. Donate. Stay positive.

The missed foul shots still bothers me. Why can’t we hit 90% of our foul shots? Isn’t there a correlation as far as doing something simple and winning? https://www.ncaa.com/stats/basketball-men/d1/current/team/150 - vcu ranks in the top for making foul shots. They’re currently on pace for a top 4 finish. Tony Skinn needs to ask hard questions this offseason like how can we end the drought which has lasted since 2011?!

Actually, for the year, we're shooting 74+% from the line, 5th in the conference. National average is about 72%. Granted, today we didn't do that well on our free throws, but Hall (85%) , who attempts the most on our team by a LOT , and Polite (83%) didn't play.

Making a good FT % is a real asset, of course, but many teams who have good records in the A10, are shooting worse than us--Dayton and Loyola for example (10th and 13th, respectively). And our final 4 team only shot 66%.

Not a bad idea.

None of this is sustainable, especially the donate part. Smart people knew this a year ago when you were jocking NIL over in that thread and saying naive things like "I think the right relationships will still play the biggest role in recruiting."

So where should my donation go this April, when I'm on the hook for my tax bill? Pat Club? NIL Collective? The University?

Do you have a % suggested breakdown, guy who suggests everything that is better for a school like Tennessee than Mason?

I'll be going to church in a few. Will do.

Whether it’s Tennessee (big win last night) or it’s Mason, programs will need NIL funds no matter what the model ends up being.

Give your money to whatever program or cause you wish to Christopher. I’m currently boarding a flight to a tropical destination with my wife. It’s our first solo trip since having our daughter. I honestly couldn’t GAF where you put your money right now, I’m too busy stretching.

Well as much as you are consistently wrong about everything athletics, Kim English, etc. I do agree with you that stretching is important. Perhaps I will change my avatar to reflect that with a selfie, as you have done.

I am in the gym right now about to do the same ironically, by the way! Then I am boarding a plane to have dinner over in Paris, because I too am very accomplished.

I will be back Tuesday, however! Talk to you then!

I’m not that accomplished, it’s just Cancun.

The gym is a great place to work out your anger. Have a great workout.

EYES Radio will have the scoop 9pm tonight. Tune in!

Had a hard time finding eyes radio. Is it a super secret thing only the cool kids know how to get to?

Link to a recording?

It is indeed. We have to keep it moving to avoid the censorship bureaus organized by Kaufman and his ilk. Also we're using the it's only cool if a few people know how to get to it club strategy, as you mentioned.

Jollay - why are you coming at Patriot8? Down boy! Eaaaaaasy boy! He is not the enemy - save the aggression for those who deserve it, like the mimes in Paris!
