Zach is Everywhere! Scoring rebounding, keeping balls alive, hustling his a** off!

Who knew that playing with Woodsy was hampering his game all along?

 

[GMU79]

Uh oh...16

 

[Milt Mudflap]

These refs are atrocious

 

[Falco]

foul city

 

[FlPatriot]

These refs are atrocious

the announcers have been harping on this for the entire second half… which is kind of rare from outlets like ESPN or CBS.

 

[DRK331]

Mason up 75-62

These refs clearly don't like defense.

 

[CarlD]

What conference are the refs from, anyone know?

 

[Milt Mudflap]

I think the NIT sent someone over to where the day workers hang out by Home Depot in Fairfax to hire these refs.

 

[DRK331]

Mason up 81-65

 

[DRK331]

Mason wins 86-69

 

[GMU79]

Announcers spent most of the second half talking about the team that was down 15-21 points.

Nice to see the team not have a let off. Looking forward to the next one.

This is Mason's first win in the NIT since 2004

They deserved some props for fighting back. They sang our praises throughout the game, especially at the end when they said we are an NCAA Tournament team.

Yes, they did do that.

My favorite part was near the end when one of the announcers said they better be careful walking to the parking lot or they might pick up a couple of fouls…definitely liked the announcers this evening. Knowledgeable and entertaining.

Win 27. Tied the program record......

Oh they are A10 guys. The lead ref has called plenty of our games.

Billups 4th and especially 5th fouls were bs but at least there was contact.

Haynes foul on a clearly clean block was just horrible.

The missed out of bounds call was bad.
