Good effort. We'll get 'em next time...

Final score:

Wagner: 60
Moore/Abram/Livingston University: 56

Ummmmm.....

Ummmmm.....

Oh wait... forgot to add in the points from the rest of our team.

Wagner took 15 more shots and we won by 11. That is all.

It was great to see the team go up into the stands after the end of the game and interact with the kids.

Such gestures will endear this team to the community...

Turnovers

Freaking Paulsen is going to have a coronary, as much as he hates them.

Yes, considering they don't force any.

Is it just me, or does anyone think Abram will break/tie Dre Smith's 10 for 10 at some point in his career?

I'd rather him be a much more game to game consistent scorer than have one game of his life...

Probably just you

Abram had 36 points in Mason's first 11 games, for an average of 3.3 ppg.

He scored 51 points in the last 2 games, for an average of 25.5 ppg.

Freshmen. You just never know.

Don't get carried away. 10 for 10 is ridiculous. However, hoping Abram will be a much better player than Smith.

0ut of conference in the books at 6-7. Anyone willing to venture a guess at the final conference record ?

 

[liem.le.3388]

Play of the game goes to Livingston doing a full sprint cross court pass that went in bt the legs of a Wagner defender, right in the hands of Jenkins. Dumbo play of the game goes to Jenkins taking that pass and air balling the lay up. The entire crowd went uhhhhhh awwww.....

 

[JBiggs]

Myles Tate managed to play 16 minutes without notching a rebound, and assist, a steal, or a FG attempt. Had 1 point on 1/2 FTs, a turnover, and 3 fouls. I guess that's why he's not a scholarship player, haha.

Anyway, great performance once again out of Abram and Moore. Very impressive.

6-12 in conference for an overall record of 12-19. I think that sounds about right.

Preseason, I thought best case was .500 on the year. 6-12/12-19 would fall right in between of where we were last year and what my best case prediction for this year was.

I'd also like to nominate Murrell for following his 3-point miss, securing the rebound, scoring a layup and getting fouled. Amazing what a difference it makes when a player hustles like that after a miss rather than retreating with his head bowed.

This was definitely the play of the game, and the start of a 15-3 run by the Patriots.

BTW, how about Doc Nix's singing of national anthem?

He was out there with Moore and Livingston bc Wagner was pressing with 4 guards. The momentum of the game never swung Wagner's way bc he was out there. I'm sure we'll see him used the same way for vcu.

Thanks for helping clarify. I didn't get a chance to see the game, and just took a look at the box score.

 

[GMUgemini]

I'd say the last two games have shown some progress compared to the first two games of the season where we carried 1 point leads into the half only to be unable to sustain a strong second half.

Abram is going to present some matchup problems as he matures. He's not a super athlete, but he's effective and with his length and range, it's going to be hard to defend him at the 3.

I also love that he's been forced to learn the stretch 4 in Paulsen's system. Gives this team a lot of flexibility with the matchups. We'll be able to run 4 guard lineups in the future with a 6'6 guard at the 4. Got to love that.

I'm pretty sure our very own Washingtonian arranged that. He's become a super agent for National Anthem singers.
