Our MO appears to be to play poorly for one half and well for one half. If the pattern continues I just hope the bad half isn't like last night. GMU by 2.

 

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

No game is a gimme this year. We will have to play tough and smart against everyone we play. We have a short lineup and 3 of them are nursing injuries/tweeks.

When you think about it, the fact that we are staying competitive is remarkable. This team needs some rest after tonight. The 7 day break before JMU will be just what the doctor ordered.

Who was the tall guy we had that transferred there. Was that Kevin foster.

God it would suck living in Fresno

Kenpom: Fresno St by 6 pts; they shoot well from 3 but also don't defend well on 3 pointers. Only 50% from the foul line for the year.

Vegasinsider: Fresno St. by 6.5 pts

3 guys with injuries. Gonna be interesting.

Once again, Fresno St. is going to have a large size advantage over us. The two Taylors and Sam Bittner (a 6'6' forward who came off the bench against Evansville) look like the principle 3-point threats on the team.

 

[phoenix-arizona]

Due to walking wounded, more bench time, ergo 10-15 bench points.

Why do we keep coming out flat. We need more driving to the rim.

 

[GMUYoda]

Looks like we have already been called for like 10 fouls already

 

[MasonSAE4]

Offense is totally devoid of ideas. No clue how to get anyone open.

He keeps telling our team what we need to do. Yesterday it was “George Mason needs a 3 here” on every possession. Today it’s “need to get the ball to the basket”. At one point yesterday, he called Livingston a great rebounder. Might watch this one on mute.

What’s his name? Gonna tell CBS I’m cancelling my subscription if he still has a job next week.

What a wasted trip. This team looks totally lost.

 

[Falco]

So inexperienced...

 

[FreeGunston12]

The lack of defense has got to be killing Paulsen. Looks like a Hewitt team with how many open 3’s we are giving up these past 2 days.
