Game 3: University of Mississippi (Charleston Classic), Thursday, Nov 19th, Noon, ESPN3

[GreenLantern]

I haven't felt this way in 4 years! Holy Crapola!

 

[G M U]

Here's the test. Young freshmen, with a good lead, against a BCS/P5 opponent. How will they handle this?

 

[Herndon]

Again, won't get too low, won't get too high. Freshmen will have ups and downs (as will teams that play 9 guys, 5 of which are freshmen).

THAT SAID, I can't wait to go home and watch the game and relish seeing mason play team basketball again.

Here's the test. Young freshmen, with a good lead, against a BCS/P5 opponent. How will they handle this?

Considering Paulsens coaching and the fact that these freshmen have no history of losing, why not just go ahead and continue to win!?

 

[GMUSig03]

ugh... 3 straight to's

 

[BandWagon18]

I'm listening to the game in the Hub (SUB II) and trying not to embarrass myself. Is this real life?

 

[GMUSig03]

4 straight...

 

[gmutom]

For the love of god, stop turning the ball over! Please.

We also need to stop rushing possessions. No need to work the clock yet, but don't force shots like Moore just did and then commit a foul on the rebound. Keep moving the ball and get a good shot. If we miss, get back on defense. Turnovers and bad shots just lead to fastbreaks and FTs.

 

[GMUSig03]

5 out of 6... (but the one non TO possession was a 2 minutes possession)

 

[disgruntled]

Team needs to focus...looks like they think they have already won.

 

[polepino]

Damn here's the Mr. Hyde freshman troubles showing up.. Unforced turnovers...DAAAAMMNN

 

[Washingtonian]

52-45 Mason, 8:05 left.

 

[polepino]

C'mon lets channel Jon Larranagas winning shot against Ole Miss back in the early 2000s!

 

[GMUSig03]

6 out of 8, lead down to 5

 

[GreenLantern]

52-49

 

[Haxormax]

welp. it was a nice feeling while it lasted.

 

[GMUSig03]

Finally, steal by Otis leads to Grayer layup in traffic, 54-51, Mason 6:20 to go

 

[GMUSig03]

We are ice cold....

 

[GreenLantern]

Except for Grayer

 

[gmutom]

We are ice cold....

And the sad thing is it took us three shots to score on the fastbreak.
