16 TO's. Sloppy as hell but a big win.

Mason wins 69-66

 

[GMU79]

Criticize away. I was merely pointing out the 13 minutes with zero comments as we made our run and took the lead.

LoL! Personally, I had to go with my wife into Wegmans. I got back and we were ahead.

 

[FlPatriot]

THAT.

Played like crap and locked down to come back for the win on the road against a good team.

Nice work Coach Skin and Co.!

This is a good team and TS is a very good coach.

 

[GMU79]

We were watching with excitement!

Yeah, hard to type and watch. Might miss something...especially if you have to follow your wife into Wegmans.

 

[GMUYoda]

Great win and great 2nd half. But the turnovers... woof. Clean that up please

 

[GMU79]

I definitely get the frustration regarding Hall. He’s way too loose with his dribble, and he often throws lazy passes. We just have to remember that he is only a sophomore, and he’s playing a lot more more minutes than he did last year.

On the flipside, I along with others have been critical of Ronnie’s play this year, so it’s very refreshing to see him play the way he is today. If we continue to get this proactive Ronnie the rest of the year, this is a much different team.

Yes, Ronnie came up big today.

Party on Bourbon street!!

That was an unreal win. Tulane with only 2 points off turnovers in the second half, and the defense was flying around which helped open things up on the offensive end.

Ronald Polite absolutely balled out. Full credit where it's due, when he's on he can score from anywhere.

 

[GMU79]

And held them to 26 points below their average. Defense beats offense, like pitching beats hitting.

Just wish he would dump the vcu mascot coif......

I've done that...ran into too many doors and shoppers!!! Lol

That was a statement win..Tulane was 8-0 at home coming into this game.Way to go polite, Maddox, Hall and Kelly. They all stepped up.

 

[gmutom]

Really nice win against a very good team. We don’t win this game without Polite stepping up. Need that out of him on a consistent basis. Funny how deceiving stats can be. Kelly and Hall both had a double-double but combined for 10 of our 16 turnovers.

 

[psyclone]

Gonna get blown out in this one

Didn't age well.

 

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

Even on the Tulane boards they are talking about how our how badly Skinn outcoached Ron Hunter today

 

[GMUYoda]

This team is playing well for the most part heading into A10 play. However, 33 turnovers in the past two games shows that we need to take better care of the basketball. Do that, and this team will be up there in the top echelon of the a10 during conference play

[The Great PATSby]

Nice Win. Good Call from Skinn to switch to Zone Defense in the 2nd. Holding Tulane to 66pts on their home court when they average 91 a game is huge. That's PATRIOT PRESSURE!!!

Love the win but this 100%. If we had half the turnovers we did today, the ending would have been much more anticlimactic.

That’s high praise, too, Ron Hunter is a damn good coach.
