Game Thread: Mason (11-1) vs. TCU (8-3), Monday, Dec. 30th, 9:00 PM

[GMUgemini]

Hartwell and Mar have lost all their confidence. They need to sit and observe. Hard to explain

Has XJ earned a chance to start? Would be a tough first game to start against vcu, but I can't imagine Hartwell and Greene doing any better.

Chick-Fil-A with more than 9 minutes left in the game.

Curious to know what came first, this game being scheduled (agreed to by the teams, not being announced to the public) or Grayer's decision to transfer there. Typically, schools in our position dont want to play a game the season immediately after one of their players transfers to the opponent's school

Announcers answering my question- game was scheduled before Grayer transferred

 

[Copes4Three]

Grayer will sure be smiling in his dorm room tonight. Hope paulsen can get the team ready for vcu

 

[mkaufman1]

Kier and Greene nonexistent tonight. Hope Greene is ok.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Great gravy this game sucks might as well go down to the bar and do other stuff

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Worse than Maryland by far

 

[Falco]

Sick of Hartwell jacking up the three

 

[FreeGunston12]

All the familiar demons are rearing their heads tonight. Our offensive design is just flat out flawed.

 

[tblack33]

That's actually kind of disrespectful, unless Vegas knows something we don't regarding Kier's status for tonight. I'll probably end up taking that line. I think it's either a 3 point win or a 6 point loss.

guess that wasn’t a disrespectful line.

Not a single good takeaway from this one so I guess I’ll just say bad.

Going back to page 1 and reading the predictions is the most entertaining part about this game.

Probably should of scheduled an easy road game in texas before this one. We are homesick tonight.

Can't wait to hear how great we practiced this week.

 

[mkaufman1]

Super hard to predict this one because we dont know how good Mason really is, and I can’t tell how good TCU is based on their out of conference competition.

If Grayer hits 51% from 3, that’s going to be a pain and its crucial that they dont let him get open looks or comfortable. Going to be weird seeing him on the opposing team. I know when Arledge played against Mason he didnt have the best game so I’m hoping the same goes for Grayer.

That said I have a good feeling about this one. Its a win win situation, a nice paycheck for a competitive game, and a chance to spruce some metrics and get a good win.

All that said, I think Mason is going to take this one and put the A10 on notice. I wouldn’t be shocked if they lost, but I think they are going to have a good chance to take this one.

Mason 72
TCU 65

lol- don’t listen to my advice

Simpkins mentioned it on an interview with by George

No way do I start Hartwell anymore. XJ should start

How about that it only counts as 1 loss and not 3?

That was embarrassing. But give TCU credit, they did what you are supposed to do when you are bigger and faster than your opponent.

Yeah. It's the timing of this loss that sucks. Got to have a short memory or this season could stall right here and now.

They lick their chops at everything, though, McRib, tasty exotic vape flavors, mens genitals, etc.
