[PDGL Hoops]

Just win.

 

[tblack33]

Rooting for the GW upset with every fiber of my being. Anyone but them.

 

[Jack Strop]

Both local teams in the same bracket in DC. There will be certainly be a lot of buzz for a Mason vs. GW matchup. We got this.

 

[Pikapppatri8]

Why is everyone afraid of GW - didn't we beat them on their court this year?

 

[mkaufman1]

Win win win.

Dont care how. Show up and support our dudes.

Personally, I'd like to see GW again so we can witness a full meltdown of Caputo and have him robot walk around Cap Center the rest of the weekend.

Now THAT is quality hate and darkness. Thank you - you made my morning.

If we get GW and can’t goad a technical out of Caputo, I’d be shocked.

And honestly most of the teams we might face in the semis or finals are going to pressure the hell out of the team, so it would be a good test to just get them acclimated for the run.

6 good halves of basketball. I liked the second half against Richmond: get into the paint and finish or kick it out.

It was funny watching him walk around pointing talking to nobody.

Wish we could play the entire game the way we play our second halves...generally speaking.

Isn’t there some sport’s cliche about it being really tough to beat the same team 3 times in a season? Maybe it’s an NFL thing

Indeed there is, and it's not just in the NFL. I heard a NCAAB broadcaster say it yesterday.
