HAHAHAH Putting Arslan in instead of Hall felt like a message. What a game, respect to the boys!

That was awesome. Maybe Richmond stopped giving a crap but we did all the things.

Solid win. Good momentum into Brooklyn. Works for me.

I really want the 7th seed with a chance to face Loyola

I want the 8th or 9th with a chance to face Richmond…

 

[mkaufman1]

We matchup a lot better with Richmond than a physical Loy chi.

 

[NewPatriot]

I want the 8th or 9th with a chance to face Richmond…

Right now, Mason is the 7th seed.

 

[DRK331]

Mason wins by 18 points WITHOUT Keyshawn Hall (Mason's #1 leading scorer) playing!!

 

[Patriot8]

Right now, Mason is the 7th seed.

This confuses me then

 

[GSII]

Hall being punished for agreeing to leave the program in the middle of the season? Or is it his minutes going to all of the seniors on senior night instead? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? The world may never know

He agreed to leave? How you know?

And why would he? I mean if my fam acted like fools I would bounce, but thats just me.

That defensive performance was so fun to watch in person. Dudes just giving their max effort on every possession.

What does Loyola’s game have to do with us? We are in a 3-way tie with SJU and Bona. Do we all have the same record against each other (1-1)? And that means record against the rest of the conference in descending order until the tie is broken?

When Maddux came back after injury, he was held out of a game.. hadn't practiced much.

 

[Patriotsince81]

HELL yes!!!! Team vs player.

 

[Patriotsince81]

Proud of everyone who played. Proud that we didn't storm the court. Great night to be a Patriot!!!

Yes - Mason, BJU, and Bona are all 1-1 vs. the others. If Loyola Chicago wins, it will be tied with Richmond for the best conference record - https://atlantic10.com/news/2015/2/21/209901106.aspx

"3. If more than two teams still remain, use the Conference record of the tied teams based on
winning percentage versus the highest common opponent and proceeding down to the
lowest common opponent, if necessary, until one team gains an advantage.

a. All ties are broken in descending order.
b. When arriving at another pair of tied teams, use each team’s record against the tied teams
as a group. When comparing records against a group of teams, the higher winning
percentage will prevail. In case of tied percentages vs. the team or group of 1.000 or .000,
the following shall apply: 2-0 is better than 1-0; 0-1 is better than 0-2.

Newton with a double double. Love to see it! He's everywhere on the court. So much energy from everyone today, but that Richmond defensive rebound that he disrupted for the Ronny layup was all grit.

 

[GMUgemini]

I can see a path if we are the 8/9. IF we get past the first two games, a semifinal most likely between vcu (but maybe UMass) and then whoever we play in the final (who knows, but I doubt Dayton gets that far without Buchanan). At that point, you lay it all on the line and let what happens happens.
