Well, that was awesone...while watching the game, I actually paused the DVR before the very end of regulation and asked "will the basketball gods give us anything today?", and the answer was YES! 20 wins, I'm very happy, and will be even happier if we can knock off the Rams tomorrow.

Anyone have a link of the post game presser?

Never mind, it's on the A10 FB page.

Great win! Theses guys really reached down deep for this one. Gotta like the heart and determination of this group. Otis pass to Jenkins was a work of art. The guy just makes big plays. Marquise seemed to take his snubbing of the first team personal!! 25pts 19rbs 5ast and 2 blks crazy. We need to get him upset more often. There is no quit in this team, I guess they burned the boats. No way to get back, they gotta go through vcu and Dayton to get back HOME!!!!!

Mason was 27-32 (84.4%) from the line. That's pretty damn good!

Just checking, did we still win that game last night? I wasn't dreaming, was I?

Now that my post game high is wearing off... did anyone else notice Kier not pulling the trigger on multiple good looks from 3? The one he hit near the end he had to shoot - nobody within 10 feet of him, but there were other opportunities and he never took them... really had me scratching my head.

I think the whole team got gun shy after starting so poorly from 3. It really wasn't until they had to shoot or die that they started taking (and making) those shots.

He does this every single game. I think I've gif'd it before in a breakdown. His release is slow as molasses and that's a big part of it. Drives me crazy, but he's acknowledged that his release is slow and he'll be working on it in the offseason.

I like when Newman is in personally, I think he brings more to the table offensively and he's been driving to the hoop really well over the last half of the season, but I don't know how much we sacrifice defensively when he is in vs Kier... plus, I'll give the nod to Paulsen that he knows what he's doing.

Interesting take. I love that he is driving to the hoop more. I get nervous every time someone other then Grayer takes a three. I recognize Newman has a nice stroke, but with his high arch a miss shot ends up so
far away from the rim that always seems to bounce to the opposing team that results in transition points.

Damn dude, one point off for Fordham and your OT prediction happened, nice work!

That's like a weatherman saying every day "It's going to snow" and then the one day it does, you say "Nice work!"

Now that the high is worn off, can we all acknowledge that the insane troll poster used the N word in a post? He didn't even use it off-handedly... he was specifically speaking about 5-7 athletes who are actually black and used it. And it was not edited??? How come I can't say shit or f**k but someone can say the N word? Time to update the software!!!!!

Hey, it works for me!

That's not how message boards work. You're supposed to tell us why our coach is screwing up and how you would do things differently.
