This was my fault. I purchased a new Mason basketball shirt and the first time I wore it we lost to Rhode Island. Broke it out again last night thinking surely this wasn't the cause of the prior loss, but alas I have let us all down. The new shirt will be confined to my tee shirt drawer until further notice. Apolgies.

Cursed. Blaine Taylor must of sold it to you.

Throw some holy water on it, or vodka.

That doesn't work.... burn it

What a loser take.

Then Mason fans better show up to Pittsburgh. I think they need at least 500-1k to make a difference. In years past its been 100-200 at the most. Time to make it happen! Last year there was a great showing in DC especially on Sunday. Something has to change up there. Maybe it's time for Tony to cross off the hurdle of winning in Pittsburgh or beating a team from there! Lets do it then!

Start a big fire…and burn the shirt..,now! It’s the only way to eliminate the curse you’ve placed on the team…;-)

In the past....GMU fans do not necessarily travel well to Pittsburgh. If we are a Top 3 seed that could change somewhat and get people more engaged but it's all about how we finish the regular season and any momentum we may finish with and also how hard the AD promotes the the trip up for "the official NOVA Team"

The AD will probably offer up at least one charter bus for students/fans as an option to go up for the games.

I would definitely heavily considering going with a charter bus, I can see a few students who would do the same. Hopefully that can be a thing.

Hated how much we got into #2’s head just to lose…. Don’t know if anyone could hear but he felt the wrath of everyone.

Loved watching the back-and-forth chirping at the end of the game. Shows that you had an impact.

Dudes been hyped as a 3point shooter since he came to mason but he's never had it. Rushes his shot, doesn't have a soft touch, and has taken 25 3's in limited PT and only made six. Doesn't need to shoot anymore

40% FG, 30% from 3, 79% at the line. And you don't think he has the right to shoot the ball?

Not the best numbers, but I've seen worse stats that have the green light to shoot. Oh, look at that, almost the same percentages as Troutman.

 

[hoopsjunkie75]

Yes they have. Maybe not very many but they have

Bring Oduro to practice, let him teach the team how to take a charge. I've never seen someone so good at manufacturing charges than that man.

Corey Edwards was pretty good at it too. He would stop open court fast breaks just by getting in the way at the right time.

This team seems to just not understand playing the angles. Pretty hard to watch their positioning sometimes
