A-10 Tournament Results
- Thread starter Pablo
- Start date
Assuming Mason wins on Friday, I suggest anyone attending the women's game on Saturday and not riding the bus back to go over to Intermission Brewpub after to watch the men's game vs SLU at 4pm. Timing should line up perfectly.

Asked for info about the bus trips and never got anything
Are you in the And1 club? I've gotten several emails to And1 club members with the bus information. It is also on the home page for the last several days at gomason.com
A short trip. A big belief.
Head south to Henrico and Believe Big with George Mason for the WBB A-10 tournament. Need a ride? Hop on the FAN BUS and join us for our PRE-GAME PEP RALLY in the stadium one hour before each game! To save your spot on the bus, email Jeff Danaher at Jdanaher@gmu.edu. To attend our pre-game pep rallies, you can register here.
emailed and never got a response
Always happy with a win! But after a grueling OT game, I fear that Mason may be a bit emotionally drained and now has to deal with a Richmond team that breezed through their quarterfinal, establishing ~ 20 lead that the held for much of the game after the first quarter.
Looking at the box score of our game, our 20 pts off-of-turnovers differential advantage was about the only stat that we outperformed the Flyers on. And I'm guessing Richmond won't commit 21 turnovers. The game at EBA where we beat the Spiders was very low-scoring with both teams shooting poorly. I'm not sure we can repeat that game defensively.
But you never want to sell this team short!

Interestingly, both coaches have been mentioned as possible candidates for the opening at my alma mater (Penn State) - https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...andidates-carolyn-kieger-big-ten/89004686007/
"There was a time when Penn State was viewed as one of the elite women’s basketball programs in the country. The Nittany Lions went to the Final Four in 2000 and own 13 Sweet 16 trips and eight Big Ten titles. But Penn State hasn’t been to the NCAA Tournament since 2014 and hasn’t had a winning record in Big Ten play since 2017.
Is there a coach who can restore Penn State to the level it used to be at? Is there one that can turn it into a consistently winning program again?
Here’s a few coaches that Penn State might turn to next.

Vanessa Blair-Lewis, George Mason head coach
Blair-Lewis really has won everywhere she’s been. She captured conference titles at Mount St. Mary’s, guided Bethune-Cookman to four seasons of 20 wins or more and took the Wildcats to their first NCAA Tournament, and then last season coached George Mason to its first March Madness appearance. The Patriots are once again eyeing another NCAA Tournament berth as they’re seeded second in the Atlantic-10 Tournament. Someone like Blair-Lewis, who has a long history of winning at places where it's difficult to do so — and someone who has deep roots in and connections to a fertile recruiting ground like the DMV — could be attractive to Penn State.""Other names to watch: Richmond head coach Aaron Roussell"
Richmond was one of the last teams in per last nights ESPN bracketology... with the loss to Mason that probably eliminates them from contention for a NCAAT berth. I'm guessing Mason will need to repeat tomorrow and win to have any chance of being invited
