If all that happens, they better need to rip the tarps off the corners, because that final game will be massive. I want to see 9,000+ fans in the stands for it.

Agreed - but I don't think the tarps have been up at all this year

They weren’t up when I was at the game Saturday. But I believe they don’t sell those seats.

No more losses to anyone other than SLU or vcu

That's the only criteria right now.

Win the next 5 games one at a time

I disagree. I think we should win them all at once.

Heard it's a foot injury.

Those usually take a while to recover, even the slightest injury to the foot.

Doesn't matter.... we will still get the L.

Doesn't matter.... we will still get the L.

St. Joe's did us a big favor tonight losing a 15-poiint lead and the game to Fordham in Philly.

There's still a chance that Mason backs itself in to a top-4 fimish.

 

[Jack Strop]

Looks like it's the time of the season to do some scoreboard watching...

Davidson, Dayton, and Duquesne currently sit at 6 – 5 and occupy a three-way tie for the 5 seed. Due to head-to-head tiebreakers, their games behind Mason are Davidson 3½, Dayton 3½, and Duquesne 2½. Over the next two weeks, Davidson, Dayton, and Duquesne play each other. Hopefully, they'll go 1 – 1 against each other.

Also, this scenario makes our Dayton game next week crucial to Mason's chances of finishing top-4.

Then there's St. Joe's. Mason wins in Philly (tall order, but doable) and their shot at top-4 is very strong. Win three of the last six and Mason is a lock for top-4. Two wins and it becomes a bit dicey, but still tips Mason's way.

There's a whole lotta basketball to be played.

Saw this on Twitter, er ... X, the other day. And while I can't vouch for the SEC/UK haters, I will say they got Virginia right.

Men's basketball hot streaks: Biggest upcoming tests for these 11 teams

Eleven teams have won at least eight games in a row. Here's when their string of victories could be snapped.

www.espn.com

"Saint Louis Billikens​

Streak: 17 wins

Saint Louis hasn't lost since the day after Thanksgiving to Stanford on a neutral on a 3-pointer in the final seconds. The Billikens, who have won 17 in a row since that day, are ranked first in effective field goal percentage nationally and are a top-25 defensive program. They're one of America's most complete teams. But when they meet vcu at home on Feb. 20, they could be up against an opponent also on a hot streak. The Rams entered the weekend on an eight-game run and are second in offensive efficiency behind the Billikens. -- Medcalf

Biggest upcoming test: vs. Loyola Chicago on Friday, 8:30 p.m., ESPN2"

"Winthrop Eagles​

Streak: 11 wins

Winthrop lost its first Big South game of the season, on New Year's Eve at Longwood. It hasn't lost since then, a run that includes a 17-point win over High Point -- the team tied for first in the standings at 10-1. Mark Prosser and the Eagles came up short in the conference title game against High Point last year and will likely have to get by the Panthers again this season in order to go dancing. The two teams also have another regular-season game: Feb. 21, which is Winthrop's next reasonable chance at a defeat. -- Borzello

Biggest upcoming test: vs. South Carolina Upstate on Feb. 19, 6:30 p.m., ESPN+"

Maybe this will bring a dose of healing for our guys. Our URI loss seemed to fracture our psyche.
