Game 30: AT Virginia Commonwealth University, Saturday, March 8th, 5:30 PM, NBCSN

[99 Patriot]

Classy the way Briante was playing with his necklaces, earings and bracelets each of the 90 times they panned to him tonight. Hoping they were his at least.

Awful game. Glad the guys decided to fight in the second half, but awful preparation, same terrible decisions we've seen all year and lack of any gameplan whatsoever as usual. This is a bad vcu team and we still could not stay within single digits of them.

Speaking of, since we joined the A-10 have we been within 10 of either of our "rivals" GW or vcu?

It's almost over. 1 more embarrassment, 2 at the most.

4th game in a row I've 'forgotten' to watch... Didn't miss anything new I see

vcu, overhyped by guys who barely know basketball and are suckers for gimmicks.

We don't like were our team is (scoring wise) but be thankful we are not in Mason shoes. I feel for those players. They played hard with no quit regardless of there record. Hats off to the young men.

gmu shot 58% (22-38)
We shot 38% (23-60) and still made more shots from creating more shot attempts.
That's Havoc!

Ok, which one of you wore the Fire Hewitt shirt last night?

Someone mentioned that its Hewitts wife sitting just in front of the guy with the awesome T-shirt.

What does she care? She could NOT care less.

With Hewitt's agent...getting fired is lucrative! Cha Ching!

Wow ... if true, how awkward is that?

All kidding aside, it shows how painful life can be for coaches' spouses and family.

Hewitt's performance obviously justifies termination -- and I know his family will never hurt for money again -- but it still can't be easy to attend a game knowing that most of your own team's fans will be happy if your husband or father loses his job.

I give her A LOT of credit for showing up. If I was her, between the team's performance, the likelihood that this might be the end of the road for him @GMU, and this winter, I'd be about 6 weeks into an extended vacation in the Caribbean.

IT's Tom O'Connor!!

He could have resigned to save them the anguish. Obviously, he thinks it is worth the money.

Any coach who would quit on his players and staff is a piece of crap.

While I have been among Hewitt's loudest critics, I'll never question his effort.

He was sweating through his suit yesterday. He just isn't a good coach.

To me, continually passive aggressively tossing your players under the bus and never being that accountable for a complete failure of a tenure is pretty much POS material as well.

Effort is all well fine, but it really doesn't make much a difference to me. Sure it is better than the alternative of a guy just sitting there doing nothing, but either one amounts to the same thing.

I know some of you despise the gmuhoops site, but there is a much better picture of the Fire Hewitt guy there. Supposedly he's sitting next to Hewitt's family.
