Well, they won the games they needed to win to finish 15-3.

That was a fun one. Crowd was best of year, chanting defense and Mason, great atmosphere. Great team effort , everyone contributed. Long was. Killing STL with his drives, Kory broke some ankles with his moves, Riley played well, Kanga and Ellington combine for 24 pts and 21 boards what an effort. If this team plays half as good in the tourney it will be a fun weekend.

So much fun!!!

Kanga was a BEAST. We absolutely need to keep him around next year.......

Agreed! But seems like a tall order, given his talent. Had 7 boards in his first 7 minutes, and an impressive double/double.

Glad I picked myself up off the couch and made it to EBA. I don't know what to make out of what I just witnessed, and what it means going into the A10 tourney, but man was that FUN!!

St. Louis assistant coach Corey Tate very clearly bumped George Mason head coach Tony Skinn with his shoulder in the handshake line after the game. Tony Skinn was not pleased.

I hope this isn't a one and don't and we go back to our old ways

Now, just you shush you mouth!

“That was as comprehensive a beatdown as I’ve ever seen in my 600 games of coaching.”

I like that quote

1-0 with a combination of three coaches in the building…two of them with the last name “Tate” (Ike, Myles)…oh, and Duane Simpkins

I love Duane...Mason may end up adding Deshawn Harris Smith this spring...to go along with Jahari Long, who according to Skinn, has at least another year of eligibility because of red shirting.

DHS is a bigger version of Billups.

The team has put Feburary in the rear view mirror. It’s all about how you play in MARCH.

The most impressive part of this win was just the mentality of the team.

They played with a sense of urgency, complete confidence, and didn’t come off the gas. They were looking for the complete KO.

That game makes me think last years team wouldn’t take their lunch money anymore.

They have figured it out just in time.

Looking forward to next week.

Just a coach being honest about a game. Didn't throw his team under the bus. Wasn't angry. Cracked a smile.
Seems like a really good guy.

Tony had the what the hell face after big boy Tate shouldered him at the hand shake line

Not related to the game against St. Louis yesterday, but the GMU Women's basketball team is playing in the A10 conference tournament championship game today at 4PM on ESPN2

All fans of the men's team should watch as we look to repeat as A10 conference tournament champs

Hope you're right! 15-2 run in the first half, 27-4 run in the second. Thinking that the team has sold its souls to the devil.

If we regress to the mean (a la Dr. G's comment), we may not score again this year!!
