Game Thread: Mason (9-1) vs. American (3-4), Saturday, Dec. 7th, 7:00 PM

I think it’s time for Calixte. Hartwell is front rimming everything. He’s playing tired

Calixte doesn’t look 100%.

 

[GMUYoda]

Well there's a nice 5-0 run

 

[Falco]

I think you’re right. But he is playing pretty good defense.

Ride XJ as long as he can stay in the game. He’s the only one creating off the dribble right now.

 

[GMUYoda]

LETS GO...KEEP IT UP

 

[FreeGunston12]

Now everyone is attacking the hoop much better. Time to put this one away!

 

[GMUgemini]

American looks tired. Got to step on the gas here and put this away.

 

[GMUYoda]

With 15:43 left to go... it was 38-38

Since then Mason has gone on a 24-8 run and player much better defense

 

[Quentin Daniels]

Another half time adjustment to go ahead. But why do many slow starts this season?

Mason was down 6, and went on a 30-8 to run.

this is what a buy game is supposed to be. Nice.

Nice adjustment by the coaches to go away from the 1-2-2 and stay in the packed-in man defense. Way too many easy shots after they broke the press early on.

Wait, are you questioning the team?

 

[mkaufman1]

Well this was nice payback for last year

XJ with 9 boards

 

[mkaufman1]

Kier 26 mins tonight 14 points. Nice

 

[KAOriginal]

10 and f*cking 1.......eat it.

 

[GreenLantern]

Not even in the Coach L years did we go 10-1. Wow!

We’ve had to make this adjustment a few times already this season. I think it was a nice experiment, but a failed experiment.

Honestly, I think you can put the slow start tonight on the refs. They were pretty horrible. And that’s my opinion after a game where the walk-ons got in.

I thought we played pretty well, start to to finish, aside from forcing some errant shots around halftime.

Are you really too stupid to tell the difference? Or just trying to start ish because your panties are still in a bunch?

 

[GMUgemini]

Great second half. Loved the energy XJ brought this game, especially on defense. Good to see Kier making those plays at the end where he finds a seam and just glides to the rim impossibly.
