Some facts thanks to the Patriot club email that was just sent out (where they referenced JMU as JM-WHO? lol). I will not post everything but there were a few bullet points that I wanted to highlight specifically shooting from deep and cleaning up turnovers on offense.

After a 2-for-20 showing from 3 vs. New Hampshire on Nov. 15, the Patriots scorched the nets over the past three games while making 30-of-62 (.484) 3pt attempts. GMU leads the A-10 and ranks 15th nationally in 3pt percentage (.415).

• After averaging 14.4 turnovers/game over the first five contests, the Patriots talled a much-improved 6.5 turnovers/game during the two games in Florida. (attention @GMU79 - drastic improvement here)

• George Mason ranks 22nd nationally in FT rate (.489) and makes 20.6 free throws/game (33rd in the country).

• Sunshine Slam MVP Kory Mincy led the Patriots with 22 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3pt) vs. the Owls and dished out five assists. He averaged 22.0 points, 4.5 assists, 4.5 3pt FG made/game and shot 56.3 percent from 3pt range during the two games in Daytona.

• Mincy ranks seventh nationally in 3pt percentage (.564) and 16th in FT percentage (.965). He is second in the A-10 in scoring (18.9 ppg) and 3pt FG made/game (3.14) and sixth in assists (3.7/game). He also leads the league in minutes/game (34:17).

Right now there is over 550 student tickets registered for (some are the bring the friend tickets). Looks like the student showing won't be too bad for a game during break! Hoping a lot of you can come out.

Dudes... I'm hanging out at the main entrance to the EBA eating lunch. I see more purple shirts entering than green & gold!

Poor intensity level to start this one. Felt like we needed a timeout there, but Tony was content letting them play it out. Lots of problems with our defensive rotations so far.

Mason down 21-17 at the under 8

They were waiting for a media timeout but yeah they were gassed for a good 2 mins of that long length of play.

Anyone watching on TV, what did they say about the tech call on Tony? Seemed like maybe he was trying to get the team fired up, but hard to tell what actually happened. Tony got up in that refs face though!
