Game 12: GMU (9-2) at Tulane (8-2) on Friday, December 22, at 2:00 PM.

Hall is too loosy goosy with the ball after getting rebound. And his passes were suspect. Big Win!

I think polite’s confidence was crushed a little bit when Hall was playing lights out. Polite thought he had to be a pass first guy and played tentative. But it looks like polite found his confidence today!

They are all still learning to play together

Poor first half, better second half. Overcame some boneheaded plays at the end and countered with some good ones to pull out a real nice win!!!! 10-2 baby!!!! I'll take it. We wouldn't have won this game under either of the two previous coaches. Still lots of room to improve and many careless mistake to correct but HELL YEAH!!!!

Just a great win today. If you told me Mason would be down 11 at half and come back to win by 3 I would have said you’re nuts. I also thought it was awesome we held Tulane to 26 second half points.

Ronny balled out in the second half. His line today was great and he came up huge when he needed to.

Most importantly defense stepped up. Defend like that and you give yourself a chance against anyone.

Rebound margin stood out to me. Cut down on turnovers and we will be in a good spot.

Newton had a big game! With no Henry he stepped up to play big time minutes. 31 minutes. 9 Boards! Defense was great in 2nd half, Tony can really coach. Kelly had a big 2nd half, something clicked after a slow start. Polite with some clutch shots. Hall has all the talent in the world but he definitely has room to grow, bad passing, missing easy baskets and just sloppy. He does rebound and plays defense so thats a huge plus but he's gota clean that other stuff up, it was killing them!

Yep noticed it in him and Kelly. They get ball at moments and can't seem to dribble effectively. Like the ball is playing them instead....

Ronny!!

Yep, HUGE!!
Glad to see him getting the love!

10-2 so far in the season without Jalen Haynes! Imagine if we had Jalen!

 

[Falco]

Monmouth, Cornell, and Tulane turned out to be some pretty good wins based on their OOC records.
Not saying it’s worth an at large bid, but it’s solid!

Every little bit helps.

Quality win! Especially with the struggles and halftime deficit. Holding Tulane to that point total is a job well done. Great start to the season!!

I love Woody playing out top in the zone, a nightmare for opponents. I'm liking Woody more and more.

 

[DRK331]

Woody played a lot of zone at Syracuse (under Jim Boeheim), so he already has lots of experience with that!!

Woody in addition to his scoring plays super defense. He is great off the bench. Not like before when guards walked to the basket.
Also Baracka is a keeper. The kid has no fear. Love his energy.

 

[mkaufman1]

I agree that I love Woody on the top of the zone.

I absolutely love Woody when he races down the floor and blocks a shot in transition. That’s a horse right there.

He’s been a fabulous addition to the team.
