Preview from the Bonnies' side featuring yours truly.

For tonight, our best hope is to get Osun in foul trouble. If he plays 25 minutes or more we're toast. Bonnies also good at shutting down the paint, so I'm really hoping we see some ball reversal or entry passes or something to get the ball inside. We can't stay competitive if we're taking 75% of our shots from outside 8 feet again.

"Great piece, BC. Tell Petey to name the date, and I will personally drive him from Fairfax to Olean. Someone else will have to swing by and pick up Uncle Vinny."

He owes his career to George Mason, but his heart belongs to Bona's

FAIRFAX, Va. — When St. Bonaventure University plays George Mason University tonight, the scoreboard will style the visiting men’s basketball team as “Bona’s.”

That is the hand of Kevin McNamee at work. The possessive form is an affectionate nod to the school’s original name — St. Bonaventure’s College. Not that McNamee was there when it opened in 1858, mind you, but his roots on campus run deeper than northern red oaks by the Allegheny River.

His father founded the St. Bonaventure swim team that McNamee would one day coach himself. No wonder his heart is torn every time GMU meets SBU, on the court or in the pool: George Mason’s deputy athletics director is a proud St. Bonaventure grad, Class of 1976.

Any idea why the line shifted from +2 to -1?
Holy shit! That's insane. I love the Bonnies and all but I DO NOT see them as favorites. GM has fans, a loud band and a good record (I know it's against shitty teams, but look at bonas.....).

I honestly thought the spread would be closer to +4. I don't care what you did in one game against Rutgers, you can't lose to SUNY Albany and Ohio and squeak by with wins against MTSU, GW and Mercer and still be favorites on the road against an average at worst A10 team. I will never bet against the Bonnies but if there's one spread where I would consider it, it would be this one.

I realize it's late notice but I am offering four tickets in section 117 across from the Mason bench to the first person who PMs me with their name and email address.

[GSII]

Lol what’s that?

[sleeperpick]

Aj starting at the 5. Kier in for Oduro

 

[tblack33]

Roaring crowd of 1500 streaming into the pat dome now.
Gotta start hot tonight if we want a chance. No we’re a second half team BS.

 

[sleeperpick]

Johnson Over Hartwell in lineup. Last min change. Love it

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Well they profiled Miller on MASN so I expect him to suck

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

AJ might be worse at the 5, but our team might be better. Defense/energy looks much better to start.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

11-2 silly.

 

[sleeperpick]

XJ is killing it so far. Maybe not on stat sheet but damn

 

[mkaufman1]

Who are these guys- did they get motivated from our bitching lol

 

[MasonSAE4]

Hmmmm I usually come here during games to bitch. Not really sure what to do.

 

[sleeperpick]

They are shooting damn well so far. Been great to watch. Love this lineup change

I suspect they worked on it or did something different to get better. It’s going to cool down.
