Game 29: University of Massachusetts, Saturday, February 24th, 6 PM, MASN

[Washingtonian]

FYI - the women play at 2 PM on Saturday against La Salle in their last regular season game.

UMass comes in with a 11-17 record, 4-11 in the A-10, and 1-9 in true road games, after losing to vcu on Wednesday night by a score of 82-78. UMass has lost 9 of their last 10 games.

This is a rematch of the January 3rd game that Mason won 80-72 in OT.

Who knows? This year is mystifying to say the least. Mason by 5 or UMass by 7.

 

[MasonSAE4]

No Halloway for them, although Otis was able to get a ton of points by going around him last time so maybe that’s a bad thing for us.

Pipkins is an effing stud. We should put 3 guys on him and dare the rest of the UMass players to score.

Not even joking.

I will be wild in the GOld Room when they announce that Otis will be manning up on him lol (just like Bonnies coaching blunders). stick Kier and Greene on Pipkins and give them help and we win this by 10

Heading into the final games, we're playing much better... for the first half. Would love to see a complete game, but I expect a similar game to Philly trip. Let's hope it ends like St. Joe's did.

Ohhhh damn!!!

We’ve seen them play well for a half, we’ve seen them play well for 25,30, and 35 minutes. Almost there! They have to learn that the full game means full effort and concentration and it comes with maturity.

Umass is in the bottom and Mason always matches well. They don’t have Holloway, and run a thin roster like Mason. Hoping for the best as usual.

 

[GMUSig03]

Need to convince myself to be pessimistic, worked out for Dayton and @ St. Joe's.

UMass by a million!

 

[GMU_DCU]

Too bad we can't watch the fat guy run and get tired anymore. Hopefully we win this one...this should be a winnable game as long as Otis doesn't have a night like he did against LaSalle. Some home cooking is in order.

Why is it that even if we played against a wheelchair basketball team you would pick the cripples? What about UMass has suggested that we should lose? Is it our winning streak against them? Our earlier season victory at their place? Or do we just not match up well against their big man who is suspended for the season? Do tell.

Your expectations are way too high. Every game “G Mas” loses by 1, without any coherent thought.

Lol they’ll be in nosebleeds and nowhere near where we’d sit. We better warn the old usher guy that they aren’t allowed to move down lol.

Lol he’s very serious about his job. He kicked out some vcu fans at the end of that game and I made sure to go over and introduce myself. I mentioned that I come from out of town and that I was very happy he did that. Nobody will ever sit in our section that doesn’t belong unless they run past.

I'm advocating to get that man a job at CBP. 2 weeks of him and no one will ever talk about illegal immigration again because it won't be a thing. Forget the wall, this man will do the job on his own.
