A10 Finals vs URI

[ChrisM]

Mason only shooting 31%. Somebody better get hot, quickly.

 

[DRK331]

Mason down 39-42 with 2:36 left in the 4th

 

[DRK331]

Mason down 39-44 with 1:40 left in the 4th

 

[ChrisM]

1:40,to go. Brooklyn Gray is just dominating on defense for them.

 

[ChrisM]

Mason shooting 29%. Brick city. Mason hasn't scored in 4:00.

 

[jessej]

Our bigs are terrible

 

[DRK331]

Mason down 41-46 with 55.9 seconds

 

[ChrisM]

Brooklyn Gray's been the difference. She's found a way to score, but IMO more importantly been smothering on D.

 

[DRK331]

Mason down 41-48 with 42.7 left

 

[DRK331]

Mason down 43-48 with a Zahirah Walton reverse layup

 

[DRK331]

Mason down 43-50 with 34.1 left

 

[ChrisM]

Our bigs are terrible

Agreed. Volker, Komura and Johnson are just not good enough offensively.

 

[DRK331]

Mason down 45-50 with 30 seconds left

 

[DRK331]

Mason down 48-51 with 15.4 left

 

[DRK331]

Mason loses 51-53

 

[GMUgemini]

Well. They fought all the way to the end. Chalk this one up to great defense and some tired legs. Those early season losses sting. Who knows what would have happened if they could have held off Temple, Liberty, and Princeton.

Still, a great season all around. Came within a few buckets falling from being repeated champion.

Box score doesn't look bad
BUT
Walton held to 10 points

Walton shoots 5 for 20
Harris shoots 4 for 16
A bad day

Win those and Mason gets the at large over Richmond IMO. The Q4 loss is particularly bad too. But the season's not over yet. The Patriots will get into one of the other two postseason tournaments, and that's an opportunity.

In a just world, all three teams make it in. The A10 is the 6th best conference this year, and URI, Richmond, and Mason proved they were the class of the A10.

Charlie Creme has only one team from the A-10 going if Mason wins. If Rhode Island wins, the Rams and Richmond are in. The Quad 4 wins I guess are the difference. Can't go only 2-1 against Q4 and get an at large over a team that went 5-0.

I don't understand the logic of this. Why on earth does Richmond NOT go to the NCAAs if Mason would have been the AQ, but does go when URI is the AQ?
