Game 30: GMU (17-12 / 9-7) vs Fordham (23-6 / 11-5) on Wednesday, March 1, at 7:00 PM.

[Falco]

This is a really poorly officiated game

Teddy valentine is the worst official of all time.

Polite to Malik for the and-1 was the biggest play of the game I think.

Made our FTs finally when it mattered.

Super chippy game. Refs had no control.

 

[Falco]

DP can’t win at EBA!

 

[Sons of Mason]

Ugly game but happy to see the guys grind it out.

 

[GSII]

DP still can’t win at EBA!

Fixed

I have NO idea how we figured out a way to win that game. They showed a ton of fight and proved they can get physical when needed.

Ronnie the Redeemer in OT. Unreal jumper and that pass to Malik created big momentum swings. We may still suck at FTs overall, but glad we’re finding ways to knock them down in the clutch lately.

That’s a big f**king win. Not pretty. Nowhere perfect. But we gutted that baby out. Woo!

 

[FlPatriot]

What’s with the ford ham player yelling at the ref and no T…very deferential

Wound up with a pretty respectable percentage if you take away Malik’s 0-2 at the end of the game. The fact that Singleton went 5-8 was massively huge.

5 in a row baby! And I love the chippy pissed off behavior of our team today. Only other game I saw them get that pissed off (especially Cooper) was against Dayton and they played great.

Polite was amazing today but man, when Cooper gets angry, the rest of teams seems to play with more heart.

 

[GMU79]

Love to see the guys bring the attitude!

 

[mkaufman1]

Raise your hand if you were ready to somehow jump on the court and fight Fordham tonight.

:raises hand:

(Yes thats how I felt from 250 miles away)

Been begging for so long for Mason to start playing with that take no shit edge we used to have. First LaSalle and now Fordham got real chippy, it seems this team’s collective balls have dropped and the timing couldn’t be better

He got up ready to throw down! This is the team we expected all season. Basketball is fun again!

 

[gmujim92]

Also 4 in a row for the reverse psychology. Riding it to Richmond Saturday and then on to Brooklyn.

Nice to see our guys getting tough and having an FU attitude toward the opponent. Nice baby!!!!! Toughness on display. Still have concerns but I'll take it. Hell yes!!!

 

[Where's the party?]

Most fun I've had at a game all year (maybe several years). It started with the great pep talk Felton gave the Gold Room - "these guys are rough as hell, and they flop like crazy - we need you guys to let them know you see it". Great prep for a bruising game against a team that has had our number. And damn if Felton wasn't 100% right about Fordham. And the Mason Nation showed up to let the refs know we were watching.

I've been on the fence about KE and really questioned the heart of this team all season, but tonight was all I needed to see to be back in the fold. The way he was getting the crowd going and the way this team came back to win with two of its best players on the bench is what I've been waiting to see for years. This team has finally grown a pair after a really pathetic first half of this season.

Send me my season ticket and Gold Room renewal, I'm all in on Mason and KE. Only good things ahead for the Mason Nation.

 

[The Great PATSby]

Whom ever was chanting “Fire Paulsen” at the end of the game… come on yall, we’re better than that. Once a Patriot Always A Patriot.

Lol I agree to an extent. Typically I agree we should show class. But I’m happy to see some passion/venom from the fans

Best stretch of Mason basketball since 2010-2011. Peaking at the right time. Most fun I’ve had watching one of the worst games I’ve ever seen played. This team is showing a toughness I don’t think any of them thought they had and I love it.

Credit to Fordhams guards, they played a tough game and defended their asses off, despite all of the soft a** BS. These refs need to be fired to Pluto.

Absolutely reupping season tickets next year, I can’t wait.
