This team is just really, really bad.

This team is just really, really bad.

I feel were going to get run out of the house....

 

[Irish44j]

Very clear Laphonso Ellis has no intention of learning about or commenting on Mason at any time.

In the last couple years Mason hasn't given anyone a reason to talk about them, let's be honest. Commentators research the good teams, not the bad ones.

Uh, no. Not competent ones.

If West Virginia was a dominant, ranked team, maybe.

 

[GSII]

we can't even match up

 

[Irish44j]

this is the worst excuse for a press-breaker I've ever seen. Can't wait until we play vcu if this is the best Hewitt can teach it.

 

[couchcoach]

i sleep now

 

[Five Two]

8 turnovers already.

 

[TweederGMU]

We need to enroll our entire team in to the AND1 Mixtape Ball Handling school. Jesus. Awful ballhandling all around

 

[DeepValue]

Our guy just blocked a shot with his armpit. That's overkill imho.

 

[GSII]

i really question what goes on in practice. something is causing our players to doze off.

 

[Irish44j]

Uh, no. Not competent ones.

WVU is a good team, and a national "name brand" (if mostly for football)

GMU is an A-10 cellar-dweller at the moment.

And nobody ever said Ellis was a competent commentator, lol. Yes, he SHOULD know about the team (as a professional commentator), but considering how bad the team is I'm not surprised that he doesn't.

 

[EXpatriot13]

4 years and we still don't know how to break a press. It's embarrassing to watch.

Why listen to a coach who can't coach and who makes you feel like you yourself is a better coach? F*** this.

 

[Five Two]

5 TOs in 3 minutes....BTW, does Huggins ever not look like a slob.

I don't think he looks like a slob. His hair is in place and he's clean shaven. He just wears a pullover instead of suit. and I think he spits when he yells....

4 years and we still don't know how to break a press. It's embarrassing to watch.

Breaking the press is 100% about coaching, setting up plays, and practicing doing it over and over and over again. Even in HS we devoted a good 1/4 of our practices to knowing about 10 press-breaker sets. Looks to me like Mason has practiced ZERO.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Funny, Laphonso. I dont miss Copes at all.

 

[DeepValue]

How many charges will Corey try to take today?

 

[Five Two]

The announcer said we really miss Copes. Do we? I'd rather just go with Porter at this point.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Uh oh. On pace for 140.
