Does anyone know if you can watch this on the NBCSN website? Or is it only available on cable tv?

It should be on nbcsports.com but you need a cable (or some type of pay TV log in) to watch.

Excellent! An OT to tire out our intrepid Colonials. Our chances have improved not to be booted out in round 2!

GWU had an 8 man rotation and OT, and less than 24 hours to rest

I hope this team comes out and plays like they did against this team like they did in the last game against them... no fall behind early shit or have to come back in the 2nd half crap

Got a gut feeling Paulsen will laminate his stature here by taking this team 4 games and winning this tournament. Has that ever happened in the A10?

Xavier in 2004 and 2006.

vcu in 2015 (vcu was the 5th seed).

Duquense in 2009 came close, going from a seven seed to the finals and losing to Temple.

Here is the slightly easier path:

Rhode Island, who is one of two A10 teams to have beaten vcu, wins against La Salle and knocks vcu off for us in the quarters. We beat URI in the semis. On the other side of the bracket, SLU makes a run through the tournament, knocking off both Davidson and Dayton and it's 5th vs. 6th for a chance to punch our ticket. I know we crapped our pants in the first half against them, but I like our chances on a neutral court against SLU and their bad shooting.

The hard way is this goes mostly chalk and we have to plow through both vcu and Davidson in order to win.

Either way, it's a longshot, but anything can happen in Brooklyn.

So how much difference does it make that Nolan will play for GW this time? Was out last week for our game.

Nolan had 15 in Fairfax, going 5-12, but shooting 1-7 from 3. He also had 5 TOs in the game.

We won that game by 7 while also shooting 11-26 from the FT line. In other words, GW is not a good team with or without Terry Nolan. We better not lose to them tomorrow.

I don’t like the 8 pt.+ numbers I’m seeing. At all. I think the Colonial cover which will likely lead to a victory for them, but:

Geo. Wash 67
G Mas 71

 

[p8triotfan4life]

had GW/UMASS not have gone into OT, I woud've been more nervous about this game. I like GMU today, potentially by 15+ points.

 

[GreenLantern]

George Mason - 76
George Jetson - 59
OT

Anything can happen with this team. Please, no one bet your life savings today.

I will say that for me to put Otis on my Mason Mt. Rushmore, he has to have a good showing this tournament. Otherwise, his senior season will have been nothing but disappointment.

That being said, I think he rises to the occasion and we win these next two.

We need to be ready from the get go. Typically, the team that had the game the night before is more ready to play in the first 10 minutes than the team with the long layoff.

I am the only one up at Brion's for the Mason game.

It does not matter. I have consumed much fried chicken.

I’m here with masonfanatic- maybe 50-100 mason fans gathering behind the benches
