Game 20: GMU (18-1 / 6-0) at Rhode Island (11-8 / 2-4) on Saturday, January 24, at 2:00 PM.

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

Were getting to the point where every team is going to be hyped up to beat the #1 team in conference.

How we handle that is going to be crucial every game going forward.

Good practice for the tournament. Get them used to having a big target on their back.

Gotta rebound and play freaking perimeter defense to get this win.

URI is going to shoot 30+ 3 pointers again. They made 9 last time... 27 of their 50 points came from 3's. Throw in the fact they are shooting on their home rim and also may get some favorable foul calls, this has a chance to be close and an upset....especially if they are making 10+ 3's. This is how these teams are going to try and beat us.... need to be out on their guards and our getting through the ball screens.

Offense.... pound the rock inside and drive, drive, drive... get to the basket. Get their bigs in foul trouble early and make our damn free throws.

Goodguys 69
Another damn ram 63

We did lose @ URI by 3 last season.

I recall good D but poor shooting in that game.

 

[GMUgemini]

I recall good D but poor shooting in that game.

I think that was most games last season.

I don’t remember our first meeting with them enough to make a good prediction but this team also doesn’t seem to play significantly worse on the road so have a decent feeling we can pull this one out.

Make life difficult for Hinton and Cochran and apply the Patriot Pressure. It's only been 3 weeks since we saw em, should have this one fresh in the memory bank.
