I hesitate to put this here in the fake official thread but...

I also dig the giveaway. But not jealous in the least bit of living in NoVa.

Don’t worry, I hear the bookstore will be selling them as well.

It has its charms - the more rural parts are beautiful.

Figured I'd mention it here. Not sure if anyone in the forum noticed but around 845-9 tonight myself and @MasonFanatic hopped on Twitter spaces and did an informal show on mason basketball. We were testing it out and enjoyed it enough that we'll do a show probably roughly once a week and some postgames. It was mostly just myself and him talking a little bit about the season but we hope to do another show sometime next week, maybe on Friday after the Upenn game.

69-63 Good guys. I think it will come down to the last couple of possessions.

Curious to see how we come out defensively after the last “mic’ed up” post where English was talking to them about the opening game and said: do you know how to get rid of all that nervous energy? Put it in your defense. Forget about the offense. You want to be loose on offense. Get jacked up on defense. Come out flying. closing out with hands up, jumping passing lanes, blocking out. And the offense will become automatic (you’ll get layups, wide open shots, etc.). (Paraphrased but mostly what he said).

You you did a great job of summing it up. I look forward to seeing how different our Defense looks compared to last year.

the defense of letting your man by you and praying AJ blocks them has long been retired

And so are the days of the 13th man on opponents depth chart lighting us up from 3pt land.

That happens more than you think. It was only amplified because DP sucked at everything else

If we play a hard nosed energetic style of defense, sign me up. Hopefully they'll look to turn the ball over but also know when to just stay in front of their man.

And of course, not leaving guys wide open to shoot 3s would be nice as well.

Defense?

 

[tblack33]

72-64 us. Spread opened at a scary GMU -2.5 at home which essentially puts it at a pick em if this were neutral court. I’m just happy full capacity pat dome is back.

Anyone know who is catering the gold room tomorrow?

I'm not going to this game, but I'll be driving down for the Penn game.

What are the best bars/breweries in FFX these days? Im thinking just old town FFX and university mall.

Mason -3.5

Really have no clue what to expect tonight/this year with so many new faces and new coaching staff. I have been excited with what I have seen/heard so far with CKE but really have no clue if it will transfer on to the court. But, I can guarantee this team will play with passion, energy, and give it 100% every time they step on the court. I just hope EBA is rocking tonight and that the fans will match and fuel the guys on the court.

I'm bitter my site doesn't have the game tonight available to bet.
