Game Thread: Mason (11-2) vs. vcu (10-3), Sunday, January 5th, 12:00 PM

[Patriot8]

Thankfully there is playoff football to watch. This is disgraceful.

 

[Walter]

Either put AJ in when it is still a game or when it is out of reach.

 

[GSII]

Horses vs Ponies.

 

[FreeGunston12]

AJ can't do anything to stop Santos-Silva either. It has to be Greg matching up with him out there.

 

[mkaufman1]

Santos Silva is something else but the commentators think he’s the next Patrick Ewing

 

[MasonSAE4]

I’m leaving. I’ve got laundry to do.

 

[Patriot Lawdog]

We don't have anyone that can hit a 3, but at least we're undersized...Not that it matters, but watch the refs even up the fouls now. Guarantee the refs will make it look even in the boxscore.

 

[tblack33]

So about those 11 wins non conference...

 

[hoops10]

Please get rid of Paulson, move on already. GMU basketball is an embarrassment.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

This game is really exposing us against better players in a better system.

Nothing tells the story like the pregame, when they profiled two 12 and 8 guys, Santos Silva and Wilson. Well, their 12 and 8 player has 22 and 9 today (so far), ours has 0 and 2.

Which 12 and 8 player would you rather have? It's not even close, and its up and down the roster like that in many instances.

 

[tblack33]

I watched more competitive basketball in 2012 than I am right now,

 

[tblack33]

We have 5 guys total who look like they belong out there. vcu is not that good (see all the missed layups first half)

 

[PoorManProfit]

vcu doesn’t impress me, which is why G Mas fan should be concerned.

 

[Falco]

5 seasons of this

 

[tblack33]

Benefit of the doubt during non conference but paulsen doesn’t belong. Terrible press that we stuck with and got torched with and here we are.

 

[tblack33]

Also what’s up with Kier? Is he our star player or is he hurt or did he regress like most of Paulsens guards?

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Honestly I'm just looking forward to X.Johnson, D.Johnson, Polite, Kolek in the backcourt and then hopefully Paulsen can finally get some forwards and bigs in here. Jesus we don't need a Mike Muscala, just a 3/4 Mike Morrison even, please.

Doesn't look all the way back to me. Just taking threes, not drawing any contact.

Do you have any faith he can do it? It’s been 5 years and what big has he brought in?

But if you're less athletic, you'd at least hope, we'd have guys who could shoot consistently from deep. We don't have either, which is a problem, to say the least.
