Allenspach needs to take a rest. He is an absolute liability on defense right now.

Mason down 37-47

Down 6 at the half feels like a win. Yikes.

 

[psyclone]

47 points in a half is a LOT to give up.

Halftime: Mason down 41-47

These guys can't even field a team and only have one reply on their game thread. Time to Old Yeller the Ramblers and put em out of their misery. Pathetic.

I used to be an Assistant Coach at Loyola on the Women's Basketball side a year before the Final Four run for the Men's team. The support there was awful. It's also probably one of the worst arenas in college basketball.

Teams have figured out that when Allenspach is on the floor it’s go time in the paint. He doesn’t help on any drives and he doesn’t contest any shots in the paint. His hands just go straight up. Doesn’t even get his body on the guy or attempt to jump vertically to try and make it tougher.

It’s infuriating because he is such a great offensive player.

Obviously terrible defense. Our guards have got to put up a little more resistance to stop their penetration. Hard to blame our bigs for not defending the rim when guys can get a full head of steam right down the lane. Also can’t go under screens on Tavares tonight.

Get Allenspach out of the game please

Get Allenspach out of the game please

Really! Dude, up with the arms…please!

 

[nchocola]

I don’t know why Tony has Allenspach in the game still. Bad coaching decision.

 

[DRK331]

Mason down 51-56

 

[DRK331]

Mason down 62-65

 

[GM Logo Guy]

Drew Valentine always has his players playing tough with “teeth”.

 

[GM Logo Guy]

Really thought Allenspach would make those free throws after the timeout. Had a chance to catch his breath.

I remember many many moons ago when Mason lost to the Ukrainian team…who only had four players at the end of the game because they had fouled out. This game may rank right up there…ugh.

 

[Masonman]

Watching in silence. I could not take the announcers anymore.

 

[MasonSAE4]

Jfc at least attempt to take a charge or something

 

[FlPatriot]

Allensbach is just soft.

 

[DRK331]

Mason up 69-68
