Oh, well, we made a run at them at the end. Not a great performance, but I guess the positive is that they never quit. Tough shooting night for Otis (1-5) and Grayer (2-9), but Marko (15 points), Moore (18) and Abram (11) played well.

Fordham wins 73-62.

The announcers also had an extended debate about whether zero was a number, so I don't take them ultra seriously

Well not only do we not cause turnovers we also let players shoot from whatever spot they want.
Yep...gotta get better
You spoke too soon. They are now debating whether zero is a number and whether white is a color.
Indeed, I did. The discussion about whether zero was a number was remarkably irrelevant to what was happening in the game. I particularly enjoyed when one of them mentioned that Mason had cut the lead to 8 but this was the magic number that Mason couldn't get beyond. Unfortunately for him, the score at the time was 52-46!
I think math wasn't that guy's strong point!
On the other hand, they weren't ridiculous homers and noted during the game Livingston's and Moore's quickness. Even commented in one of the crowd shots on Otis' father being there and mentioned that he had the pleasure of working with him in the past (Otis' dad is a tv sports guy in the NY metro area).
This is a big problem. 5 turnovers, 16 assists suggests they did nothing to disrupt the flow of Fordham's offense. It's compounded by the fact that Mason turns it over WAY too much. It's tough to see the TO margin being so large no matter who we play.
Didn't protect the ball and can't shoot the ball (18 - 48).

This game felt pretty lackluster. I did really appreciate the diving on the floor steal and easy bucket though, that was great to see.
Shevon can barely get down the floor, the dude definitely looks hurt. It was sad when he was basically getting in the way of Otis on a fast break opportunity. He is either hurt or just kind of lazy because every trip back up the floor he looks to be just trotting, of course I've never been 6'11 before.

What we need is more guards, yup def more guards.

His foot is definitely hurt and he is certainly not lazy.
I give him a lot of credit for being out on the floor and trying to help the team.

Totally agree and I want him out there as much as he can be. But if he needs to take a couple of games to heal up, I' would take that so he can get back to full strength.

Unrelated to the decision to reschedule Saturday’s game, the George Mason squad endured a hellish night trying to get back to campus from New York after Wednesday’s game at Fordham.
The team was making good time on I-95 until it reached the Beltway.
“It’s 2 in the morning and it’s a parking lot,” Patriots Coach Dave Paulsen said of the debilitating road conditions. “Semis are pulled over. People are walking.”
The bus driver exited the interstate and tried to maneuver to the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. That too was clogged. So Paulsen decided to give up.
“I’m not going to have our players sleep on the bus,” he said.
On the slow ride through College Park, Paulsen had remembered rumbling past a Marriott near the University of Maryland campus. Someone called to see if there were rooms available. There was. Paulsen booked about a dozen rooms for players, coaches and support staff.

He was double and triple teamed most of the time when he had the ball in the paint.
He also had 4 turnovers and only played 16 minutes (Jenkins had only 2 in 23 minutes)
