Game Thread: Mason (8-1) vs. Jacksonville State (2-4), Tuesday, Dec. 3rd, 7:00 PM

[mkaufman1]

NOVA isn’t a 4 year school...I then got my degree at Mason, while living with Chris who told me to come to games with him routinely. I then graduated and had season tickets through the recent alumni package. Once that ran out, we (Chris and Bryan) started By George and then teamed up with Giant Killer. Why my fan hood is in question is beyond me, who else was in the Caymans?! You’re welcome for doing my best to change the culture at EBA.

A lot of good ideas in this thread, if any of you would like to join me in a meeting with Brad to voice concerns, I could probably make that happen. One of the issues is, we bitch on here and to our friends but no one actually hears us. Yes the fan guide was a great idea but the school will never be comfortable with language like “suck on that” but we could probably hand it out to students before they enter the building and brand it with the Masonhoops logo or something.

Yes, we’re 9-1 and this sounds like just bitching but players constantly talk about needing our hype, feeding off of it and the effects it has on pulling recruits when they’re watching the game at EBA.

Keep the good work up man. One of the things I always say when someone has an idea on here is “hey did you email, or talk to so and so about it”. I think constructive conversation and influence is the only way anything will ever get done. I still think ultimately winning cures all, but if it doesnt start with a few of us having conversations or even being energetic during games otherwise nothing will ever change. Some of these issues are the same that have existed since I was a student, but at the very least back then, the program was winning A lot year over year and then the Final Four happened.

KenPom has it as a 10-point win.

They went 24-9 last year, beating Belmont twice and Murray State once (granted the team had five seniors who contributed).

they are HORRIBLE THIS YEAR and this was probably our 3rd best OOC win

All three Cayman wins are better. Loyola (MD) and American are also better wins (which ain't saying much).
