Well, they won the games they needed to win to finish 15-3.vcu being able to avoid Dayton, GMU and SLU is infuriating
So much fun!!!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.
Agreed! But seems like a tall order, given his talent. Had 7 boards in his first 7 minutes, and an impressive double/double.Kanga was a BEAST. We absolutely need to keep him around next year.......
LOL. They are just like all fans...gripe about their team, skewer the refs, butcher the coach.SLU boards

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
St. Louis head coach Josh Schertz quick post game:
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.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
Just a coach being honest about a game. Didn't throw his team under the bus. Wasn't angry. Cracked a smile.St. Louis head coach Josh Schertz quick post game:
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.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.
