2023-24 Schedule

[GMUgemini]

Below the current top 3 in the A10 (Richmond, Dayton, Loyola), Kenpom has 5 teams they project to finish 10-8:
vcu #92
St Bon #83
UMass #93
GMU #95
St. Joe #96

Going to be real difficult to get a top 4 spot even if Loyola were to collapse, with both vcu and St. Joes having tie-breakers over us.

I have a feeling that vcu loss is going to haunt us all offseason, especially if we miss out on top 4 by a tiebreak or 1 game.

Still, 12-6 is possible if they beat UMass tomorrow and stay the course. Keep the hope alive for as long as we can.

Final: Dayton 76 - St. Bonaventure 71

Final: Dayton 76 - St. Bonaventure 71

Holmes with 34. Both Bonnie bigs fouled out in last 5 minutes. Flyers had a 9 pt lead with 2:30 left but Bonnies hung in and got it down to 3 with 20 seconds left. Holmes then made 2 fts and that pretty much was it.

Better for us that Dayton won, as Bonnies (8 pt underdogs on Kenpom) go to 4-5 in conference.

Pretty much no chance of a seed above a 6 now barring a miracle with all the tiebreakers we will be losing

Mason was 13-2 (2-0) headed into the vcu game at home. Since that game, Mason is 2-5 (2-5)

Currently Mason loses TB:

vcu
St. Joseph's
UMASS
GW (play one more time at home)

Mason wins TB:

St. Bonaventure
Rhode Island (play one more time on the road)

We play Davidson and Duquesne and Fordham only once, so losses in those games will cause us more problems, but wins would greatly help as all 3 teams are currently behind us in the standings

"Currently" The operative word.

Ball will need to add 15 pounds of muscle next year. He seems very reluctant to mix it up underneath. Of course he is a freshman, but better times ahead.

Yes, but three of the four teams we lose the TB to we don't play again

Gotta make sure he doesn't add TOO much given how good his shot is. Totally anecdotal but I feel like sometimes pure shooters bulk up too much and it ruins their stroke.

Then again what do I know

Probably as much as the rest of us. Not much.

At least we aren’t on DePaul’s tier!

vcu gets a Quad 1 win by beating Dayton by 2 at home, 49-47. Holmes only gets 12 points and shoots a miserable 5-13 from the ft line. He's a 69% shooter from there for the year.
