Game 31: University of Richmond, Saturday, March 3rd, 7 PM, MASN

[gmujim92]

A top-4 finish and winning conference record would be an unreal confidence-booster for our young team regardless of what happens in the A-10 tournament.

I can’t help but think the law of averages has to kick in at some point against UR, but I hope it’s not Saturday.

Nice, even I can understand this.

Any word on Wilson’s availability? I’d imagine there wouldn’t be enough time to progress him through concussion protocol (standard protocol usually takes 5 days with no symptoms) even if he was 100% on Thursday.

Most importantly, we have worn Green during the 3 Boyd Buzzer Beater game streak.

Just throwing it out there Paulsen....

Ya know, I used to love watching Mason because of Larranaga, then Hewitt came along and gutted the program. Now, Paulsen has coached backbone into these last 2 teams and I am excited about Mason basketball again.

Hard not to like you Duncan, you should teach that Mudbutt guy how to visit another schools message boards. Having your daughter at Mason is also a sign you raised her right.

Dammit I am super psyched!! It's been a very long time since Mason played a meaningful game for the season's finalé.

Even though I am a vcu alumn, I grew up with George Mason. My mother taught there. I pass by the campus every day on the way to work. I see the university's growth and am proud that she had a hand in it.

f**k those guys at UR. They think they're so important because they went to a private school and they have a nicer lake than ours. But nobody likes them and half their enrollment comes from godforsaken places in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Chris and Bryan talk about the vcu experience, then I jump in to talk about Richmond at the 17 minute mark. Go Mason!

I thought we had a pond, not a lake?

Could be right. I know the Spiders have a lake and an isthmus.

I have some bad news for you about where most of Mason’s comes from.

Well, Vegas knows something we don't, because Richmond is favored by 1.5 points.
