How about, Henry doesn't have the frame to guard guys like Grant Golden in the post? Is that better?

Not having a big worth a crap is our biggest glaring weakness. I haven't watched the first half, since I was teaching when the game started, but the fact that GW could have Paar just sit in the middle of the paint 10 feet from the basket and not have to guard anyone is the saddest thing I think I've ever seen.

Just got back from the game.
The good: The drive in and out.
The bad: Everything else.
Sad and pathetic showing on all counts.

Refuse all positive spin about this game. What a nightmare.

Why is DP smiling or cracking a joke?

Next time you interview DP ask him if the culture of winning has been established yet? How many more years does he need? 35 - 41 career in the A10.

Even without Justin we should have won tonight. There were so many opportunities and frankly I’m surprised we didn’t lose by more.

And yes I chalk part of this loss up to the soft non con schedule and home cooking. If we played decent competition and a few road games we’d have been more prepared for this mud fight.

our guards can’t create their own shots and our bigs can’t do anything if we aren’t a threat to shoot. The only way we survive this season is if the offensive scheme changes to get spot up shots.

Tonight, I sat there silently as DP hurled rotten tomatoes at my face. I didn’t ask a question, don’t think he wants to answer my questions anymore. He chuckled and admitted he wishes GW found their stride after playing us. Nothing needed to be asked after that.

I’m sorry to the guy who requested I ask DP about analytics, I’ll get to it. Tonight I was in my feelings dripping of tomato juice.

☝️...was an issue with The Virus also. Throws out the ball and thinks the players can figure out how to score and win the game. Next thing you know we are dribbling off our foot.

Thanks for all you guys do. I’m thinking about stopping donations and season tix I can only imagine your internal conundrum. Us mason fans appreciate you. The work you guys do makes us at least seem like a D1 program.

I was the one who requested that you ask him how he uses analytics for game preparation. Speaking of analytics, check this out - https://gwsports.com/news/2020/1/15...eorge-mason-in-revolutionary-rivalry-win.aspx:

"As a team, GW shot .490 from the floor and .471 from the land of plenty, getting all 73 points either in the paint (32), at the free throw line (17) or from three-point land (24) in a performance worthy of efficient basketball analytics praise."

I got you next time Pablo, thank you for your service.

As for those griping about the soft early schedule. I stand by that its better to see wins early on against cupcakes than to suck the entire season....

I agree and think we should follow the same format next season.

 

[Patriotsince81]

I agree and think we should follow the same format next season.

Next year we have on the OOC schedule:
Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow
Sister Teresa's School For the Blind
NOVA
BRYC All-Stars
South County High School (This should be our 1 OOC loss)
Strayer College
University of Phoenix - Alexandria Campus (You know, the one in-between the 7-11 and dry cleaners on North Kings Highway)
Moose Lodge 167
VFW Lodge 68
The Vienna Boys Choir

Made the mood of this video to show how we all feel right now. Enjoy.

Even if GMU went 7-6 in the OOC against better competition, I am guessing they'd still have been sitting at 1-3 in the A-10 on Jan. 16th.

Hey, they can never take the Cayman Islands from us.
