[TweederGMU]

Yes, the Gov't/Courts have made a mess of the NCAA. That I agree with. And yes, we didn't have a 5 in 5, but give it time.

BO transferred 4 times in 4 years.
George Mason (2023-24, Fr.);
Memphis (2024-25, So.);
Mercer (2025-26, Jr.);
George Mason (2026-27, Sr.)

Yes, BO went in a circle, but my point still stands.

Valentine - 3 schools in 3 years.
Missouri State (2024-25, Fr.);
Northern Illinois (2025-26, So.);
George Mason (2026-27, Jr.)

Presley - 3 schools in 4 years.
Vanderbilt (2023-24, Fr.);
Texas (2024-25, RS-So.);
George Mason (2025-26 Jr., 2026-27 Sr.)

Jones - 3 schools in 4 years
East Carolina (brief RS);
UTEP (2023-24 Fr., 2024-25 So., 2025-26 Jr.);
George Mason (2026-27, Sr.)

BO actually came back... can't fault him for that.

Where is our specific player who played at 5 different schools in 5 years????? Transferring 2-3 times has been almost the norm the past few years.... 5 schools in 5 years is shocking and crazy. Easy to make fun of... which is the whole point.

 

[DRK331]

Mason has stepped up the things to do, merch/gear trailer, and other stuff on the EBA concourse for today's game

They have alot more stuff out for people compared to the first game of the season

 

[GMUgemini]

Gabe Norwood in the booth tonight

 

[GMUgemini]

In just like 2 minutes, if Marcus is healthy he has to be the backup to Kanga unless Nnaji shows us something.

I keep forgetting who’s who and where they transferred from

 

[CarlD]

Jones down holding an ankle. Back up pretty quickly though, and I think he stayed on the bench.

 

[GMU79]

I miss the old days.

 

[Portlandian]

Jumping between this one and the Madison Kentucky game. JMU is holding their own.

 

[GMUgemini]

EOE makes his own luck on that last shot
Of the half. And we go into the locker room up 23. We are going to play everyone tonight.

I used to root for JMU, but I’m over them and their Johnny-come-latelies.

 

[tblack33]

I really was hoping Kanga would have made a bigger jump this offseason than he did. Largely looks like the same player as last year. Not bad at all, but looking like a very middle of the road Center in the A10.

 

[GMU79]

I used to root for JMU, but I’m over them and their Johnny-come-latelies.

I've hated them since 1975!

 

[GMUYoda]

46 pts in the 1st half... 19 in the 2nd...

 

[GMUgemini]

46 pts in the 1st half... 19 in the 2nd...

Playing much slower, not making many shots, not getting out in transition. Second half is just a grind.

 

[CarlD]

Yeah, a little sloppy in the second half. Not that Coppin St ever made it close. But not a performance that will win games in A-10 play.

 

[Pat2028]

Wasn't ever in doubt but that wasn't great Suspect team sort of overlooked at various points and maybe something in the early season to work out, but if the team looks like this by conference play, we're not going to have a great season.

 

[GMUYoda]

Mason wins 68-51

Defense has looked great. But if we thought we were a good shooting team before the season started, that hasn’t shown up yet.
