Game 6: AT Manhattan College, Wednesday, November 25th, 7 PM, NO TV

[TweederGMU]

Thompson and Marko will look to lead and set the tone early. Shevon is playing more aggressive, hopefully he can get some dunks and lay down that he owns the paint early. Moore will attack the rim. So refreshing to think we will win on the road.

Goodguys 68
Twilight Vampires 61

With five freshman playing major minutes, can't take any team lightly. But it would feel like a page, a corner has been turned to see the experience in Charleston be built upon and turn into a winning streak leading into that UNI game.

I mean, already we saw a team play cohesive basketball three games in a row, we saw a team actually play better over three straight games, actually have a game plan against each opponent, and made adjustments when the opposing team took away our strengths. So in that sense, we already have seen a page being turned.

Mason 70 Jaspers 62

We start out sluggish, but pick up the pace and get a nice win on the road

I haven't posted on here in quite some time. After several months of hiatus and recovery from the Blewitt Effect, I'm back. Feels damn good.

"» Four games into the five-game stretch, Mason has averaged 39.0 rpg and 66.2 ppg, shooting 44.0 percent from the field, 34.6 percent from three-point range and 58.1 percent from the free throw line. Freshman Jaire Grayer has led the Patriots during the stretch, averaging 16.0 ppg on 57.4 percent shooting.

» Last season against Manhattan in Fairfax, Jalen Jenkins hit a three-quarter court shot at the buzzer to lift the Patriots over the Jaspers 64-63. Mason rallied from a six-point deficit with 19 seconds to play as Jenkins finished with 24 points in the contest. The play made the top play on SportsCenter."

Feel for anyone trying to travel for Thanksgiving. Going on 6 hours to NY with @MasonMBB. A win tomorrow will make me forget about today....

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Jeez, I actually went to that Manhattan game there in 2005 with Bill. At least he didn't have to drive through that same sHitty traffic this time.

They have this train thing that leaves Union Station and takes you right into NYC. Anyone else ever heard of it? That being said, I took Vamoose from Rosslyn a couple of years ago on Wednesday before Thanksgiving and it was 4 hours on nose.

I wonder how many walk-ons they have. Would be be great to see them have to play just 4.

Norman Dale did that once, but he was more about sending a message to Rade Butcher about playing within his system then it was about having enough eligible players.

 

[GreenLantern]

We can certainly take advantage of the injuries and could turn this into a commanding win if we play like we did in Charelston
