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

Being outrebounded 27-19 at the half... Fordham also has 8 offensive rebounds as well

Their offensive rebounds total is troubling, but the overall differential is skewed because of how many 3s we missed because it leads to a lot of long rebounds when we are retreating to get back on defense.

That and bad misses tend to lead to more offensive boards it seems, and Fordham has a LOT of bad misses.

 

[Quentin Daniels]

Here we go!!!

That Josh pass was shades of Jason Williams.

Props to Fordham for the Ukrainian flag on their jerseys.

 

[GMUYoda]

Finish them right here right now

Gaines is a junkyard dog when that ball comes off the rim.

Yep. Novitskiy is from Kiev. Would have liked to see GMU wearing the same.

Oh yeah, I remember that now. Great video of him going into the game and getting a standing O. Class act of the program to do that for him.

Got to be tough to focus when the game is such a minor thing compared to your country being invaded. Hopefully it's a way for him to escae those worries at least for a little while.

 

[Five Two]

hope everyone took the under

 

[Quentin Daniels]

Anyone know if Fordham's Special Advisor to the Head Coach made the trip to DC?

 

[Quentin Daniels]

4 on Oduro.

 

[GMUYoda]

Ugh... Oduro with 4 really huge

 

[GMUYoda]

17-7 run by Fordham... and we're tied at 37

 

[Quentin Daniels]

Ooooffff.

Series of bad defensive plays from Hartwell not setting his feet to Schwartz fouling the jumpshooter behind the arc.

 

[GSII]

Charmin soft

The rule is you have to be fired if you lose twice to Fordham in one year....Nice knowing CKE...Seemed like a nice fellow.

 

[Irish44j]

This team is totally lost without JO. None of our forwards or taller guards has any ability in the paint whatsoever. When they do get deep enough to go to the hoop, they always stop and pass it out for some reason (or turn it over). It's a shame Henry has turned into absolutely nothing. Fordham is a perfect example of what two big men on the same team can do.

And yes, Cooper just scored in the paint but we all know that's not common for him.

 

[Enforcer]

Ok, needed that Coop And1.

 

[Quentin Daniels]

We have zero post presence when Josh is on the bench. On both ends of the floor.

 

[Quentin Daniels]

Blake has got to work on his positional defense. He's never going to be quick enough for an on-ball defender, but can play smarter and not pick up the fouls quite as much.

I also think he's not getting the benefit of the doubt and the refs are quicker to blow the whistle on him.
