If the can figure out the italics for sarcasm, they can figure out QR codes.

Personally, I didn't figure it out. You guys had to walk me through it. Just sayin'.

Penn is much improved with Franny as HC

Franny aka White Magic transferred to Penn from Wake Forest after Penn's Final Four run.
Recruiting has gone well and a 3rd place Ivy finish is forecast and expected for this season.

But that will not be enough for an upset of GMU.
GMU by 15 if Penn' best player is still out. GMU by 7 if he plays.

Speaking for some of us, even mild hand tremors make scanning QR codes or any type of picture taking with phones more difficult. Retirement is great and living 15 minutes from campus is wonderful for going to games, but aging does have its downsides.

The game at the Palestra was actually played on 12/10/16. Some of you may remember that Marquise Moore had GMU's first and only triple-double: https://gomason.com/news/2016/12/10...riple-double-lifts-mason-over-penn-79-60.aspx

"PHILADELPHIA – Behind the first ever triple-double from sensational senior Marquise Moore, the George Mason University men's basketball team (8-3) won its seventh-straight game Saturday afternoon with a 79-60 victory over Penn inside the Palestra.

Moore posted 17 points, tied his career high with 16 rebounds and dished out a personal best 10 assists in a do-it-all 39 minutes on the floor.

He is now one of 10 players nationally to record a triple-double this season. That list includes National Player of the Year candidate Josh Hart of Villanova, Monte Morris of Iowa State and De'Aaron Fox of Kentucky.

On the strength of Moore's effort, Mason outscored the Quakers 41-24 in the second half and ended the game on a 22-5 run."

If Roberts is back, they have a legit shot at taking us down. Seems he lit up St. Joes.

Can blow this one, especially if we come out the way we did against Loyola. We need to open a lot better, beef up the intensity on both sides of the ball when we have these long layoffs. Run some presses in the beginning to set a tone.

Undisclosed injury, still no info on what it was he injured it seems.

Penn faces critical adjustment with Ethan Roberts out indefinitely

Fran McCaffery and Penn sit 5-4 through nine games, but Quakers must now navigate playing without Ethan Roberts after senior suffered injury...

Marquise was a one man wrecking crew!

Marquise was a one man wrecking crew!

Marquise could jump through the roof! A guard that led us in rebounds many games.
