St. Mary's game thread

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

My Christmas is filled up. Serious Obamacare coverage discussions with my relatives in the morning, then the 7th place game in the Diamond Head!

Clearly we are the worst team in this tournament.

Lots of people told me to look out for Vaughn Gray this season--will this be his breakout game?

 

[GMUSSTN]

I am hoping MASN decides to play great games from Mason's past. I'd love to watch the '06 UNC game rerun instead of this actual, live basketball game.

yawn.

Taking St. Mary and I don't care what the line is

 

[Scythe]

No faith here anymore either :/

St. Mary's is clearly better than us and it's surprising they get stuck in the last place game with us. We will lose by double digits, I suspect.

I've thought for months that this team wouldn't win a single game in this tournament and I've certainly not seen anything to change my opinion. When is Sherrad Wright going to start avg. 25 PPG? lol

Mason will lose this one by 10+.

This is going to be a bad year for mason.......... very bad

 

[gmutom]

At this point I don't even care about the final score. I just want to see the young guys get a lot of playing time and to see our continued improvement on defense to compensate for our lack of offense.

Like Kurt Schilling once said when asked about the lack of run support after a 1-0 loss, "They can't beat me if they don't score. I let them score."

Got a good feeling Coach H is going to have the boys ready to play for this game. I predict GMU 68 Saints 57.

I have no doubt Hewitt will get to the game on time. Unfortunately, the players he inherited will be with him. Pretty disrespectful to St. Marys to think this bunch can beat them and by 11? lol. They ain't AU or St. Francis or LeMar.

While I haven't given up on him, I have 3 questions:

(1) Will he play?
(2) Why did he stay?
(3) Has AAUman abandon him?

I will say that we played much better against Iowa State than Akron, which got spanked by 23 last night.

Is that the new measure of George Mason basketball? Hey look we didn't lose as bad as some other team. Take that Akron. Sick it vcu fans. Other teams suck more! Too bad very few of those teams are in the A-10.

 

[TweederGMU]

The Virgin Marys 70
Goodguys 57

 

[EXpatriot13]

We won't win this game. We play pretty good defense but ultimately can't figure out how to score with any sort of consistency.

St. Mary's - 66
GMU - 57

Just an observation, Walt. You're probably trading way too much into it.

I just hope they play as a team, share the ball, play defense and WIN! I think this team will peak at the right time, as long as we have the right players on the floor!

Oh man, the Holiday cheer must be getting to you. This team isn't peaking this year, that's for sure.
