A winnable game

Mason 85
Morgan is not a state 65

6 players averaging between 7.0 and 9.8 points. The question is which one will go off and score 25 against us? I have us winning 2 more OOC games. This SHOULD be one of them.
Mason 68 - Morgan State 67.

Washingtonian’s stalwart game threads are the only reliable thing about the men’s basketball program.

In rain, snow, turnover, missed layup, travel, errand pass, bizarre lineup coaching decisions, nothing shall keep him from his routes.

Once the A-10 kicks us out, it will be essential to look like a top half MEAC team. A win here gets us closer to that goal.

Already probably too late to look like a top half Ivy or Patriot team, so we gotta get it done here.

I was hoping instead of MEAC, they’d go more for Southland conference, so they could have more battles with Southern University.

I was always a fan of the MAAC and thought we'd fit in really well with all those small private schools.

I don’t disagree but I’d rather see Mason where they are now. Regardless back to this big matchup with Morgan state ..

According to kenpom

Mason favored by 14.

What Morgan State does particularly well:

• defensively- steal % (39th) and turnover %(32d), defend the 3 (60th)
  
• offensiively--don't turn the ball over or give up steals (top 100 in both)

What they do poorly:

• defensively--give up offensive rebounds to opponent (352d), foul on opponents' fg attempts (315), defend 2 pt% (252)
• offensively--effective fg% and 2 pt % ), get fouled on their 2 pt shots (bottom 50 in each)

We eek out a 5 point win, which should have been 20 but Morgan makes a late game run to make it interesting.

From a fan standpoint, absolutely nothing good can come from this game. Even if we came out and won by 40, it’s meaningless because it’s Morgan State and we’ve seen what Mason probably is. Nothing really matters until A10 play at this point. Very depressing.
