Does Paulsen not like dunks? We haven't had one yet. Temara has had some opportunities too. They can be a real momentum boost at the right times.

 

[GSII]

Yea no dunks allowed.

 

[JBiggs]

I saw Temara put down a simple two-handed dunk in the UNI game. It was off a really nice feed, but I can't remember who.

Can't remember the last time we won five in a row. Would love to see the guys take this one, but I actually agree with the Mercer poster who noted our poor play at home. I think the guy's are still young and get a little too amped with the home crowd. Ironically proving the Home Court Disadvantage Theorem that T-Mac published many years ago.

Thinking the same thing. One of the UNI broadcasters said he really liked GMU's moxie. Don't hear that word too much - but I'd like to see more moxie at home.

Damn!

f'ing Nerds

I get it if you are studying engineering but Mason has plenty of business and womyns studies majors that could easily cram 10 minutes before the final test

 

[Vurbel]

Really hope we wear those 2006 uniforms a few times this year

I'd like to also, but at the risk of being Mr. Literal...

The 2006 uniforms were designed by Nike. So legally we couldn't just copy the uniform. I'm surprised we didn't get sued. Besides, the "throwbacks" have been sold and are long gone. Now I'd be game for a new alt. jersey. The gray ones we have are just depressing.

I know there has been a great deal of speculation about the true identity of Pablo, but I think I cracked the code.

Pablo largely disappeared from the Board during the stretch run of the Election and only recently started actively posting after 11/8. Now he is clearly on twitter after midnight and compulsively sharing tweets on the Boards... I'll let you all make your own conclusions.

"Next A-10 opponent.

Young team that plays poorly at home. Bad 3 point shooting team. However, the Patriots have won four straight, including a win at UNI.

Best players are Jenkins and Moore. Stop them and the Bears likely will win.

KenPom has Mason favored by 2."

Gotta disagree with the statement about stopping Jenkins and Moore. GMU is more balanced this year. Boyd won us the JMU game. Grayer stepped up with 14 against UNI.

GMU is much deeper this year too......which I think will pay off in some games.

Yep - I neglected to mention Otis, who has been clutch this year.

Is a one day pass for the A10 network worth it? Got food poisoning last night and don't think I'll make the game

Probably not. The feed and camera work is still pretty crappy.
