I say we win at Tech and drop both neutral site games inexplicably: 11-2 overalll.

 

[Portlandian]

Anything less than 10-3 would be kind of sad.

ODU is loaded with experienced talent...lots of double digit primary scorers out of the portal + they return one of the most prolific perimeter shooters in the nation from last year, Robert Davis Jr...that will be a touch

So is George Mason

Exactly. My point is this is an underrated game on the schedule. It's going to be fun to watch

9-4 ooc. 16-2 in A10 play. Early kinks but a strong surge from January on.

I hope you’re right, it would help us if they weren’t absolute dog vomit for the first time in a while.

NEVER thought i would be the optimist in this pool of GMU Alumni!!!
not ready to do the A-10 schedule until I see all the pieces working together.

We lose Haynes. We lose key players. You can’t expect to hit the ground running instantly.

partially agree - schedule is relatively weak until Ohio, which hopefully gives team time to jell.

Was just thinking we lost a lot of really talented defenders, but outside of Haynes and Maddox, we didn’t have a whole lot of talented scorers on the team. With all the double digit scorers we have coming in hopefully we will be harder to defend overall and won’t have to rely on Haynes and Maddox to manufacture the offense all by themselves.

I’ll also be curious to see how we do defensively. Losing Newton, Billups, and KD on that side of the ball will be tough, but this staff did wonders their first season with Amari Kelly and Keyshawn Johnson on the interior and neither one of them were known as lockdown defenders until they got here.

The great thing about having so many seniors is even though they are still new to Tony’s system and each other, they understand team defense principles on the college level. Athleticism won’t be an issue either so as long as they communicate effectively I would expect them to hit the ground running in November.

I hate how last year might have been a golden chance for us to get back on the nation's radar and we ended up in a subpar NIT field that noone apart from the schools playing cared about.

And this year might be a building year.

LOL please explain how having a roster with most of the projected rotation players in their final year of eligibility could possibly be considered a building year?

As if “building years” are still a thing these days…

Well that’s a fair question isn’t it? Are we trying to microwave a team too much and should we build more long term where there’s less of a zero margin for error.

 

[EXpatriot13]

should we build more long term

This strategy does not exist anymore.

 

[2011WinOverVillanova]

This strategy does not exist anymore.

Maybe it’s time to go against the grain and sign guys to 3 year contracts and demand some loyalty rather than being a pit stop like we are a AA team.

 

[mkaufman1]

Someone once said something about a two year season. Maybe we need to look at things from that perspective.
