Game 32: A10 Tournament - #8 GMU (20-11 / 9-9) vs #9 St. Joe’s (19-12 / 9-9).

[GMUYoda]

I hope someone lights a fire in the locker room at halftime to get this team going

 

[Patriot Lawdog]

With St. Joe's you CANNOT repeat cannot help on guys...Leaves wide open shooters and everyone on their team can shoot it....Also, Okoije is a liability when you have guys who can stay in front of him.

 

[GMUYoda]

33-24 St. Joseph's at the half

33-24 St. Joseph's at the half

Not out of reach. Can't watch today.
Is Key playing?

Is Key playing?

Yes. He is 0-3 FG

 

[hoops10]

They are really pressing/covering Maddux. He can't get open. Mason just doesn't have guys who can score. SJ just a much better team. Better athletes. Not over yet, but GM needs to come out with a run. KH was horrible, close the books on him.

 

[Enforcer]

Ok, 9 pts is not the worst deficit. Hopefully can rally in the 2nd.

 

[GSII]

Game.

 

[Patriot Lawdog]

This one is over. Can't make an outside shot and they are making their 3s. We needed them to be missing today and they aren't. This usually happens to us. Tomorrow SJU will go like 2-20 from 3.

 

[nchocola]

This is horrific

No intensity. No identity. It just looks like they are going through the motions on defense.

 

[Earl the Squirrel]

Game.

Why is Okojie jacking up threes? Why???

Might as well have not been on the court.

Nah, our D is not designed for a team like this. Too many threats from the outside. Our only hope is Lange somehow screws this up which is always and outside chance.

Lazy and No toughness, every year the A10 Tournament is embarrassing. It's almost the polar opposite of Coach L teams in CAA tournament. Are they asleep? Do they not want to be there? Airballs on every pos·ses·sion. What is Polite doing? He must be really hurt because he's barely moving. Still time but things have to change ASAP!

SJU has much more talent and they're actually playing like it. Zero chance they should have finished 8th in the league....I will say that getting blown out in the A-10 every year is getting old.

 

[GMUgemini]

It’s getting tiring being blown out every year in the conference tournament. I know St. Joes talented but can’t we have one year when we actually show up for this thing? We couldn’t even make it count when the tournament was in DC.

 

[EXpatriot13]

Result aside, this is an incredibly disappointing effort.

 

[GMUYoda]

Well, guess I'll go get some rest for work tonight. Lot of work to do in the offseason

 

[hoops10]

What an embarrassment. They crashed and burned.

He should have started the game, not throw him in down 11 points with no legs under him. That was the coaching mistake of the game.
