Classic trap game. Take a flyer on Mason on the money line. We only win one more game this season (including A10 tourney) and it’s gonna be this game.
Full disclosure: I went 0fer on CBB betting tonight.

Apathy is at a new low. Game day vs vcu and this thread is empty, and not a single vcu insult has been posted.

I mean I can post about how the skinny hipster from Richmond was insulted by section 115 in February 2016 and how that was pretty epic... haha

pretty sure we all expect another 15 point loss and there’s no point in even fighting it at this point. They are good. Mason is not good.

Yeah, the average game day thread used to end up being over 20 pages. Now we're lucky if it gets to 4 or 5.

What's the difference between ignorance and apathy?
I don't know and I don't care.

Wow line down to 9.5 for some reason

Dumb people who know nothing about the two teams and bet based on the box score of the last game?

Ehh, we actually have some decent matchups. vcu isn't a great shooting team and does a lot of their damage on the offensive glass, which we're good at preventing. We also prefer dead ball turnovers to live ball turnovers (i.e. Javon just picked up his pivot foot again) so vcu won't get as many easy buckets. Plus Bones has a hip thing going on and might be limited today.

Not saying I'm confident we won't lose by 25 but I see the rationale. Rivalry game so should get a good effort, and Dave's teams backdoor big spreads a good amount.

I mean, I do think we matchup slightly well with vcu, and I guess home court isn't as big without fans, but...I have to think vcu wins by ten.

God, we're 16-38-1 against the spread against teams with winning records last 55. Horrible.

 

[GSII]

We should not be on national TV. Unless we win then it's a good thing. But we don't win.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Hartwell starting as we go small...

I gotta admit if I was road tripping to Richmond I'd lay some Mason +400 action...cause could be legendary night...

LOL the announcer..."AJ having a great sea..(pause) career at Mason."

Hilarious...

 

[Haxormax]

Bones and ace. Interesting names lol

Refs on the other side trying to get a taste of the backside too.

 

[tblack33]

Not even looking at AJ on the block anymore. I can’t blame them, but damn what a drop off.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Like clockwork, Javon and AJ two bad passes before the TV timeout.

I mean, D is mostly there, but some guards are going to have to make baskets...

Blows my mind how many open or lightly contested layups our guards have blown. It just always feels like we are playing 4v5 on offense at best. No complete lineups.
