Game 6: GMU (2-3) vs Coppin State (0-6) on Wednesday, November 20, at 7:00 PM.

Agree with you- but I think we all agree we would just like to see some solid basketball.

Things like

1) Can we cutdown turnovers?
2) Who jumps ahead in minutes in the rotation?
3) What role does KD play? Anderson?
4) Do we look like we know how to play basketball
5) Do we take these games seriously to correct our flaws and have easy wins?

Honestly, these two games couldn't come at a better time for Mason now that I'm thinking about it.

I'm not arguing any of that. I want those questions answered too. I'm saying we're not likely to get an honest answer to those questions beating the hell out of Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow and Sister Teresa's School for the Blind. (You still don't get those names right ). Wins like that can instill a false sense of security, only to have reality rudely smack you in the face. Win at Madison and at home against Tulane, then I'll believe we're on the road to recovery.

Right we are on the same page. I just am looking for us to have solid wins over weak opponents and maybe having everyone take a breath to refocus.

I full expect easy victories and hopefully some items to be improved upon. I don’t want to see 18 turnovers vs coppin state or another poor stat even in a 25 point win.

Next two "exhibition" games to tinker and finalize rotations (and more importantly incorporate all of the ides on this Board), then unleash Patriot Pressure 2.0 on our hated rivals to the southwest, on our way to rolling in to Duke at 7-2.

7-2 is going to be tough when we’ve already lost 3 but I like your thinking.

 

[Where's the party?]

LMAO. Well done!!!!!

Thought ides only arrive in March.

[Verdad]

I would honestly prefer to stay home and watch the women vs Wake Forest, but inconveniently have a friend from out of town going to the game haha.

 

[GunstonsGhost]

I'll be one of the sub two thousand suckers there. I'd like to see a dramatic reduction of turnovers and better ability to stretch the court. Hopefully having a little breathing room since Saturday has given the coaching staff time to tune things up.

I worry if it is a small low energy crowd the team will feed off of that into a bad negative energy loop.

I'm hoping you guys can help out with this... you see, I'm all out of ideas on new wacky situations and scenarios when it comes to Game Day images. As you know, we usually post an image on the thread for each game, and this image is featured on the front of the site. So, we're going to open it...

Per Coach Hinnant in the GR…
Billups is out tonite. (Concussion)
Ball is also still out.

Interesting. Intrigue on who will take his place in the starting lineup.

This guy needs a sweet a** superhero name. Colonial Green Lantern?

Anderson gets the start

I sit behind the visitors bench and the Oduros are sitting in the first row

Crowd seems a bit smaller than the CMU game

GMU up 22 at the 8 minute TO

 

[jessej]

Up 18 at the 4 minute TO

Btw the current CSU coach - Larry Stewart was the star of the team when he was a player

He also holds the distinction as the first undrafted free agent to make NBA All league status

GMU up 48-21 at the half
