If Riley backed up any more on that drive he would have been in the cameras

Need to come out hot in this one and put them away early. They are much more talented than their rankings and we’ve seen when they get hot they can hang with and beat anyone. Key is to fluster them early and make Valentine have to try to coach.

I’ve been to a few games in Chicago now and their atmosphere is probably top 3 in the league. Very small arena, but loud and energetic. Fun and def should go if anyone ever gets the chance.

A bit nervous about this game but Tony seems to have the guys locked in and disciplined.

Welp, we didn’t do this.

Welp, we didn’t do this.

Assuming we win this game I hope the team realizes this will be every game for the remainder of the season.

Unbelievable offensive player…. If he could just play defense

 

[GMU79]

Allenspach is my hero!

 

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

Escaped with a win! And we even covered the spread! Whoooooo! 5-0 baby!!!

Maybe an odd nitpick here considering all the other issues tonight, but Stas should not be our inbounder ever. Seen him muck that up too many times, even if he got it in fine right there.

does anybody know whether loyola had any injuries the announcers never mentioned it

Mason wins 81-74

Tony Skinn is currently on an 8 game win streak and gets his first win in Gentile Arena

17-1 overall, 5-0 in conference play

We shall never speak of this again.

Loyola is gonna get a low seed and then ruin someone's A10 tourney after they get their players back.

Allensbach is just soft.

This post didn’t age well.

You must have watched a different game. Defense is important too…no?

I think it was something like all of there starters were out and all of there players playing were doing a great job covering. But idk, the announcers barely talked about the injuries to all there starters and how the players playing today did a great job covering

He did make a crucial block down the stretch.

I’m not doubting Coach Skinn’s decisions anymore. I’ve been wrong too many times.

I concur. Made me very nervous.

 

[GMU79]

Sometimes subs play out of their minds when they get their chance.
Clint Longley, anyone?

I’m just joking around.

Indeed he did.

Ok now that my chest is no longer tight - half time adjustment, talent, and grittiness overcame starting slow and Loyola playing like they wanted to prove something - and doing well. Cream always rises to the top. Onward.
