We need this one big time. It's a game we should win. Senior night. Playing to get back over .500 in the league. All curses. We lose by 6.

We lose this, we wont win again tbis year.

I'm going with the under since it's supposed to rain...100 at the most.

Does that include the Green Machine?

I assume that redshirt senior PG Myles Tate will get the well-deserved start on Senior Night (the first start of his Mason career). If so, will Otis' streak of starting every game of his career (61 games) end?

Us 80
Them 79
OT

 

[Haxormax]

Another loss because our team can't figure out how to win

 

[PDGL Hoops]

We seem to be circling the drain a bit...hopefully Coach Paulson can get us back in the win column.

DU 66

I doubt Myles will start. He will get in late in the game especially if the game is out of reach (either way), much like Michael Rudy got in last year. This game still means a whole lot in the standings and the season.

You may be right, although it should be noted that Michael Rudy still had 1 year of eligibility remaining. I believe that Myles Tate has earned the opportunity to start on Senior Night and will be disappointed if he doesn't.

If I'm not mistaken, Jalen has worn jersey nos. 20 & 31 (not #1 & 33 as shown).

Jalen's #1 was during his redshirt season. He was wearing Paris Bennett's jersey. He was #20 his freshman year, then switched to #31. #33 is our "blood" jersey this year, in case we need a jersey because somebody gets bloodied up.

Man, I'm a nerd for knowing this stuff.

We get the W here. Moore and Jenkins end their last game on a high note with 20 points each.

I'm watching the UVA/UNC game right now. We run the same defense as UVA and their system def works. The diff of course are their players so hopefully Paulsen can get the right guys in soon.
