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

Kind of off topic but all the dining rooms at Bojangles down 95 are currently closed I had to eat it in the grass Sunday coming back from RVA (thats cool window sticker talk for "richmond")

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.

Yeah my 7am-9am is blocked every day thats when i drink coffee and hit on interns/admins and stuff

WTF. Dining rooms should always be a safe haven for chicken lovers.... pandemic/no pandemic... should always be open. Get that Sweet tea!

Did you stop by Douglas Freeman and ask why they changed their name to Mavericks!? GAY

Lots of excitement over this game. Palpable excitement.

Jollay's in Vegas opens at +4.5 Fordham.

Guess we are getting the we're home in DC bump or they still remember the Kansas game.

128.5 O/U

Worst casino on the strip. Smells like menthols, wall-to-wall blue hairs, and can't get a drink at the blackjack tables to save my life. That place makes Circus Circus look like the Bellagio.

I guess the plus is we avoided the play in game. This season seems like most of the recent rest. Still on the treadmill. Prediction: they win when most expect them to lose. We win our first round, lose the next.

Happen to be in DC and I see there is a basketball tournament going on. Figure I’ll catch some of the games tomorrow, too.

I found a Bojangles dining room in Charlotte that was closed last week, too. And it was 80+ degrees down there, no way I was eating in my car. Had to find a different location.

My car is far too nice to slop Bojangles in...but i'll save that for the offseason car thread which we could be nine minutes away from.

Fordham is up to +5.5 for some unearthly reason. Like, I don't think we'll necessarily lose or anything, but I also don't think you shouldn't take the Rams and the points...

Have fun drinking at Clyde's!! At least they opened it at 10, which is pretty cool. As is day drinking!

I predict we start out well (get up 8-10 points at the 10 minute mark) and we all think it's fine and dandy... then Fordham makes a run and it's close at the half (as in us up by 5 or less).

2nd half we start shaky, and Fordham gets the lead. We come back late to take the lead... and we all breathe a sigh of relief after Fordhams game tying 3 pointer clangs off the back rim because we struggle to make our FTs down the stretch

Mason 67
Fordham 64

This is about what Im expecting, maybe with slightly less scoring...

If it were the Price is Right i would bid one dollar on this showcase

I really wanted to take Mason today, but I can't at -6.5

Ended up taking Mason to win by 1-5 at +333 because why not.

I'm terrible with predictions but I'm not feeling good about this one at all

This is either the kiss of death, or a good omen... I'm not sure which, so let's go with good omen.
