Need to win this game - ECU isn't great and it looks like we are a stepup in competition. Keep defending the home floor.

It also doesn't seem as if Mason wins that it will help Kenpom or the NET very much, but we need it to have any chance to make that top 100 which is really where I'd like to see the program this year.

Win the rest of the home games, be “competitive” against Tennessee and beat either Tulane or Toledo on the road is my wish for the rest of the non-con

Thanks! I wish I could claim credit, but it’s the magic of AI.
AI is just another (advanced) tool. You have learned to use it. You have come up with the ideas and prompts that lead to the cool images, especially, the Mason vs ECU one! Many professions use advanced tools to get their work done, but it still takes a human to use those tools towards a certain goal.

So, fee free to take credit for your work!

Hall of Famer

"• Sophomore Keyshawn Hall led the Patriots with 21 points and a career-best 15 rebounds in the win. It marked just the ninth 20+ point, 15+ rebound effort by a Patriot since 2010.

• Hall shared A-10 Player of the Week Honors with Dayton's Nate Santos on Monday. He is averaging 22.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and shooting 49 percent over Mason's past three games.

• Graduate forward Amari Kelly notched 10 points and 10 rebounds vs. SDSU to record his second career double-double and first in a Mason uniform. He's scored 10+ points in all five games this season and is 28th nationally in free throw percentage (.944).

• The Patriots rank second in the A-10 in rebounding margin (+7.4) and scoring defense (62.8 ppg allowed).

• Hall and Kelly both tallied double-doubles vs. SDSU. It marked the first time two Mason players accomplished the feat in a game since Josh Oduro and Jordan Miller in a Feb. 24, 2021 contest vs. GW.

• Hall ranks third nationally in defensive rebounds/game (9.6), ninth in overall rebounding (11.0/game) and 10th in double-doubles (3). He also leads the A-10 in those categories and is fifth in the league in scoring (15.8 ppg).

• Senior Darius Maddox averaged 13.5 points over the two games in St. Augustine. He leads the Patriots in 3pt FG made (11) and 3pt FG% (.393) this season.

• Freshman guard Baraka Okojie registered a career-best 12 points (4-5 FG) vs. South Dakota State and made a personal-best two 3-pointers on three attempts (.667). He leads the Patriots in bench minutes (20.6/game) through five contests.

• Mason will play a brand of basketball dubbed 'Patriot Pressure' this season, which emphasizes creating discomfort for opposing offenses. Through five games, Patriot Pressure has been on display, as the Patriots rank 15th nationally in 2pt FG defense (.412), 47th in scoring defense (60.8 ppg allowed) and 65th in overall FG defense (.390).

• The Patriots are 3-0 at home so far this season and have won 17 of their past 19 contests inside EagleBank Arena."

We are #12 nationally in 2pt D% (41%) -- right there with Houston, UVA, Kansas, UConn, Mich State, etc. It's a credit to Billups, Kelly, and Hall, as well as Henry. We keep this up and good things will happen.

I'd like to see Maddox and Polite step up today.
