Sagarin has Mason at a 4 pt favorite.

A few years ago I would pen this as a tough game - but all the hype that came in with the new coach did not pan out as expected. However, I could see this game go either way - depends how disciplined they are.

Teams aren't supposed to look ahead, but as a fan I will. Mason needs this one. The two following will be tough. Penn looks good so far and UNI beat UNC. Won't be easy to get two out of the next three.

Penn lost to Lafayette today, but you're right, they have been playing well under Steve Donohue.

Yeah - just saw that. I think Donohue is a decent coach - had a tough time at BC but a good hire by Penn I think. Hopefully Mason can take care of Skerry and his team and then take it to Donohue & company.

 

[MasonFanatic]

Towson did not look good in Charleston, but they do get all 5 guys involved rebounding, and Hawkins can really, really shoot. He had 28 points against Ole Miss.

I remember when everyone was all excited about Skerry. And he did a fine job when Benimon was there but - absent another high level transfer - it would appear that Skerry has already peaked at Towson.

Is anyone going to make the trip to Towson?

I was considering making the trip but driving to Baltimore from Tysons the last 2 weeks has scared me off due to the traffic

Yeah, that can be a nasty drive, especially since you are going to north Baltimore around two beltways...horrible traffic around both.

We did the drive from campus a couple times back in my younger days. No desire to do it again for a 7pm weeknight game. You'll sweat to make it by tip-off if you leave right at 5.

 

[gmutom]

I live in Loudoun County, so taking the back route down 15 to 70 to 695 is a decent option. It's not as direct as taking 95 but it is quicker in terms of traffic and much less frustrating. I've also done the same thing for weeknight Orioles games.

80 miles from Fairfax scares me

 

[phoenix-arizona]

Omar's coming

 

[TweederGMU]

We need more consistency Shevon, Jalen, and Grayer. Can't turn the ball over more than 15 times. Will this be where we turn the corner?
