Yea, they play hard....just in the wrong direction. If you think about it The Virus isnt adapting to his players strong points. He even sucks at being a Virus!!

 

[MasonFanatic]

Maybe we should use some of the Xout pimple cream they just advertised to get rid of the blemishes in our offense.

Oh man. I laughed out loud. Thanks, Tom. I needed that one.

 

[Vurbel]

After seeing Lonergan having about the same record as Hewitt in 4 years, I began to have the "creep" of "they're just going to keep him one more year."

So I am right there with you now that no one at Mason really cares and we are doomed.

If that's the case, combined with the fact the women's team is doing well, how long will it be until women's attendance surpasses the men? I ask that knowing full well that will never happen. Right?

 

[MasonFanatic]

I have been watching basketball all day and the one thing that has really stuck out the most is that even mediocre teams make the "extra pass" to get someone an open jumper.

Winner winner.

Back in the Day there was a joke Jim Lewis the women's coach should take over the men's team as the women were far better.

We may have come full circle...

Playing hard is no use if you play stupid.

And all of our guys look like they should be spending 2 hours a day in the gym with the shooting gun. Props to Edwards and Gray for shooting decently today, but no one is above criticism when we struggle to score 50.

I almost went to the women's game the other night instead of coming home to watch the men play in Rochester. My couch won. I've been regretting it all week.

No tweets or retweets from President Cabrera or AD Edwards about the Mason - GW game. Any significance?

 

[Quentin Daniels]

So, after we took the lead 29-28 in the beginning of the second half, I decided to go get dinner at longhorn steakhouse after seeing those commercials. I should not have watched the recording. Little did I know that would be our only lead. I think, from now on, if we ever get a lead, I am going to turn the game off and pretend we won

I hear yah. Dinner at Longhorn is plenty of punishment for one night by itself!

 

[99 Patriot]

I could make the argument that every "veteran" on our team played their best basketball as freshman. We were going to build around Marko, Jalen was a 3 time ROW in the A-10, Holloway could shoot and seemed to sort of try on D, Vaughn was coined the "future" and Corey was the NYC pass-first PG we'd been waiting for. Hell, even Copes was a raw shot-blocking, rebounding machine.

Kind of sad to think we're seeing the apex of Jackson and Porters games (both of which I'd say have already started to slide).

Just got done watching Iowa State beat Kansas. We would not beat either of those teams once out of 100 tries.

I would not be suprised if both Myles Tate and Michael Rudy get a scholarship if Hewitt is still the head coach next season. Ahmad Gilbert will probably decommit after this season realizing he is going to be playing for a clown who will guarantee him a team loss every night.

No quality basketball player who is graduating high school in 2015 is going to want to play for George Mason, not with Paul Hewitt still here.

Best case scenario we get a few desperate kids who really want to play for George Mason but only because no other schools with a D1 program want to offer them a scholarship.

"Addressing whether the defeats are taking a toll on the team’s psyche, Hewitt said: 'You watch it, you check it, but I think our effort especially today was really good. I was concerned about effort in the first half of our last game [a 20-point loss at Saint Bonaventure], but we got back to doing what we do, playing hard.'”

How about playing smart, fundamentally sound basketball?

According to Hewitt we always have part our gameplay going well but we can hardly put together a full game for 40 minutes.

GW hasn't been blowing anyone out this year. Take those 13.5.

Hope some people took advantage of this.

Those that think Brad Edwards doesn't care about the basketball program are way off base. You'll see...in a couple of weeks you'll have to be saying "wow...the stupid kid from the field house was right." Wouldn't be the first time.....

Yes, you'll have totally nailed that one then. While the rest of us have been predicting an extension and new contract similar to the Ga Tech one, you'll have been the only one predicting the firing. You and you alone you insider you.

If you notice, I directed it to the people who think Edwards doesn't care about basketball.

Now, enjoy your day. How's your friend's fake girlfriend doing?

If Hewitt is fired this year, your season tickets for next year are on me. And I mean it, 100%.

 

[phoenix-arizona]

Paul Hewitt -- 6 seasons and a movie !

Chank,

I really can't understand why you believe that Hewitt won't be fired this year. Frankly, I can't fathom that Hewitt won't be fired within a day of the Patriots losing in the A10 tourney if not sooner.

While I think he should be gone today or soon......

I have heard from enough people, less associated with this board and more associated with Mason...hinting that's its not as cut and dry as we believe.

Not going to lie...scares the sh*t out of me.....

And for those that keep touting his 2 20 win seasons in 4.....remember 1 was a team already in place and the 2nd ended up being that many because we payed to play in CBI games to save face.
