ok who is going to have an emotional breakdown

I'm going to sleep because I'm old and sh*t.

Way too many turnovers. Way too much reliance on the 3. JMU had a response every time Mason hit an important shot.

ok who is going to have an emotional breakdown

Really takes some of the joy out of the UMD win.

 

[Pikapppatri8]

Sigh. Gonna be a hot dog party in Harrisonburg tonight.

That is every friday night in the ladies dorms at JMU.

I'm going to sleep because I'm old and sh*t.

I am going to drink and start cleaning some guns

 

[Patriot Lawdog]

The ultimate trap game on a short turnaround = really tough ask

 

[gmutom]

There goes the undefeated season and Kim’s contract extension.

Good wake-up call for our team. JMU deserved this win. They wanted it more. i expect us to regroup and play better next week.

 

[Patriot Lawdog]

Well, these are still college kids and it’s human to have a letdown on the road.

No, it doesn’t. What a terrible take.

Last 3 games -- Hartwell is 0 for 10. He is not the reason we lost, but does not someone else deserve those minutes now?

 

[Walter]

We should have a penalty clause in CKE's contract. If he loses to JMU, he pays each old fan $1000.

Polite when he’s healthy?

Hartwell had been up to tonight a really good caretaker of the ball. But everyone was turnover happy tonight, including him.

 

[sleeperpick]

Not gonna be doom and gloom because I think we are really good still but boy doesn’t Hartwell absolutely SUCK. Need Dinkins a year early. Thank goodness XJ doesn’t have a flat tire this year or we might have been much worse than we are. Hope Polite turns into a half way decent player because we could use him

A completely reasonable analysis. What kind of terribleness is this!

Agreed, they were a step slower tonight and JMU scouted them really well. The ball didn't go in as they missed a ton of bunnies. Hopefully they can regroup like you said and put on good performances out west

They absolutely need Polite to help out in the backcourt especially if Hartwell is going to have dud games like tonight. Hartwell can go back to his spark plug shoot 3 role versus playing major minutes

No, it doesn’t. What a terrible take.

It absolutley does. We had a chance to get some votes to be in the top 25 if we handled business against JMU. We should not be losing to a CAA team projected to be 4th in the conference.

 

[sleeperpick]

Also I’ve watched South Dakota a bunch this season and they are a very solid team so we need to have a short memory

You can’t possibly go missing during our good runs and then come back when we lose our first game. You CANT be that much of a troll can you?

 

[psyclone]

I guess our bubble has burst. Not only did JMU beat us, but the Terps could only beat Hofstra by 2, so our "statement win" against them is looking not-so-impressive.

So much for the undefeated season.

Thank you. Of course the win was great and memorable, but if you turn around and lose your next game to a team you should beat, and look terrible doing it, it takes the sheen off your team's victory.

Was hoping for Frazier. They put him in for 1 play and he got blown right by.
