Game 30 - A10 Tournament: #9 GMU (14-15 / 7-9) vs #8 Fordham (15-15 / 8-10) on Thursday, March 10, at NOON.

I believe we get revenge against Fordham. Two shitty loses to end our regular season and can tell these kids want to go get redemption against a team they should of beaten in Fordham. This is where our senior leadership with Coop and Schwartz comes in to fire this team up and get them focused.

I think the change of scenery with Capital One arena and Fordham having maybe 3 fans in attendance will cause their team to shoot like shit and not be up for a game against our guys.

I'm betting our team will be hyped and ready to play physical and get this W. Someone get Jollay some Bojangles before the game!

Let's not forget that Quisenberry did not play in the first matchup. We've just seen what a difference 1 player can make (Noah Fernandes).

This team should win, but the current trend says we fall short. Let's see if KE can bring any tournament magic to the table. He's going to have to coach a better game this time for our season to continue.

At least all our games are at noon or 1pm lol

FYI: Our schedule page now says the game is on USA. Originally reported to have been on NBCSN.

Fordham's playing better ball than Mason right now. That wasn't fun to type. Not expecting a W.

USA is the new NBCSN.

Looking at the field and seeds, I am going to go for a Dayton-Bonnies final.

Gracias, did not know that.

Looks like the seats are General Admission for this session for the block across from the team benches, baseline to baseline.

If Bona wins, probably the best shot at 3 bids

 

[Where's the party?]

Still recovering from watching that UMass meltdown. Glad to hear Blake wasn't hurt too bad. In addition to JO, and KE, having shitty games, the refs were awful. Seemed like they were blowing whistles real quick all game and then having to figure out what to call. The play at the end of regulation was a prime example. We were sitting in the stands speculating on what they were saying for 5 mins - "Really Jim, are you sure you saw a foul?" "Damn, Joe, these folks will riot if we give UMass three shots now", "Doesn't that sound like the buzzer went off before the foul?" "Yeah, yeah, that's what we are going with".

Got tickets to the Fordham and Davidson game so I guess that makes me an optimist, although after yesterday I don't have much reason to be. I doubt KE reads these threads (why would he?), but just in case he does ..... "Coach please, please, please, tell the team to play tougher, and stop worrying about fouls. There's nothing worse than watching our bigs, carrying no friggin fouls, let opposing guards drive the lane for uncontested layups. It makes us look like p***ies (hint - not talking about puppies but I guess that could apply as well). If we are going to end the season Thursday, please do it without any fouls left to give."

What better way to surprise the competition than to NOT be the soft team we have been all year?

Maybe Dennis Felton can channel his improbable tornado riddled SEC conf tourney title for our guys to win 4 in a row.

Thought this was the most appropriate site for this from Dick Vitale:

(One may speculate that he made his picks 2 weeks ago!)

Atlantic 10​

Coach of the Year: Bob McKillop, Davidson

Player of the Year: Josh Oduro, George Mason

Diaper Dandy of the Year: DaRon Holmes II, Dayton

V's views: McKillop has done an outstanding job despite Davidson losing two starters, including 2,000-point scorer Kellan Grady to Kentucky. The Wildcats are an NCAA tournament team. Oduro has been the scoring leader in the conference this season. I saw Holmes play in Orlando, Florida, and was impressed.

You jerks complaining about noon games can go pound sand. I had to block my calendar from 7am - 9am Thursday. Seems presumptuous to do it Friday as well at this juncture. If feel like if I do it now we'll lose, but if I don't do it at all we'll win Thursday and I'll have some big dumb meeting I can't miss during Friday's game.

Bojangles before the game in Harrisonburg did not help.

I was a staunch anti-nooner. As much or more anti-noon than cousin Joe is anti-vax. Saturday's results have tamped down tourney anticipation though. Might as well be at work from 12-2 on Thursday. Win, and I'll make sure I'm free on Friday at those same hours.

Jollay should of never cheated on Popeyes with Bojangles then.

Popeyes or a live chicken. Only 2 options here

I predict a convincing win with Hartwell hitting eight consecutive 3s. He is interviewed after the game where he yells, “Take that bitches.” He becomes an international meme which he trademarks and becomes a multimillionaire. He buys MasonHoops and deletes all hater accounts. He then takes it too far by hiring a guy he knows from back home who kidnaps the biggest haters and shoots a snuff film where they are a** raped and then killed. An FBI investigation reveals that Jolly was the on camera talent. After reading through the threads, the jury finds Jamal’s actions justified.

I nominate this for post of the week!

Hopefully KE gets a little creative with the defense so you can be there Sat and sun as well!
