Mason Twitter seems to have stepped it up this year. Good to see.

I love that they are involving the alumni. I assume that this was all while the TBT team was around for the scrimmage this summer. Keep doing stuff like this and speak to the tradition of the program!

Any way to stream MASN these days?

Any way to stream MASN these days?

I have not found a way but the game is on ESPN+. I have found that the $5 a month for plus is really worth it, even if you cancel in the off-season and re-up every November. They make it easy.

Sweet, I rely heavily on espn+ I didn’t know if it being on MASN would blackout the espn+ since living in Richmond I’m technically in market.

ESPN+ is included in a bundle with Hulu and Disney Plus if you are really looking for a great deal. .

JMU @ George Mason hoops
That’s right! JMU has a big game tonight. After the thrashing of the Spiders in football, the hoops team plays at George Mason.
I think JMU has played George Mason more than any other team and the rivalry continues tonight.

It should be a contest of two equivalent teams. Both of them will be missing a starter tonight and for several more games due to injury. JMU should be able to leverage its backcourt for an advantage over Mason’s which is reliant on Freshmen and Sophomores.

Of course, The side story is coach Rowe vs coach Paulsen. If you recall, Rowe refused to shake his hand after last year’s game and was unprofessional in his speech. Paulsen is a bit of a weasel and he looked scared during the interaction so there is something that had been brewing between the two for a long time. Also, Rowe was very emotional in his postgame radio interview and started saying very cryptic, incoherent, and odd things that didn’t make sense. It seemed like he was having a mental breakdown live on TV and radio. Certainly It was a strange chain of events that Rowe never really explained after the fact and he didn’t attend the weekly JMU press conference a few days later to explain.

Tonight the Dukes get rid of the bad vibes and come through in crunch time to pull a minor road upset. Rowe decides to shake Paulsen’s hand, but only because he wins this time. It would be classic if they got into a fist fight and I think Rowe would clean his clock.

Just want to say kudos to Mason for the pregame hype and 70's theme.

Well. Done.

I think the team is distracted by Paulsen’s outfit

Man if we could just hit an open 3.

JDS is completely lost on defense..

Not a lot of discipline from our young guards in defensive rotations not shot selection.

 

[patriot2000]

Which one of you is the super loud fan in 115?

 

[FreeGunston12]

Much better play over the last few minutes. Looks like Paulsen has taken off the 1-2-2.

 

[patriot2000]

Fouling a 3 point shooter as the shot clock expires...

The broadcasts are infinitely better when Eshrick is doing color.

 

[GMUgemini]

Mar is just short arming everything. He has no follow through on his motion.

9 offensive rebounds in the first half for JMU... turrible
