Honestly I’m glad we are the underdog. GMU isn’t getting the respect they deserve by the college basketball community by any means. Gives the players more motivation for the time being.

That's an insult

It is but it also means if we win even by one point we beat the spread and it helps our net ranking more.

If we happen to win by 10 or more we could jump up as many as 5 or 6 spots.

But of course just win baby!

Kenpom has Mason as a 3 pt favorite, but doesn't factor in availability of players as the gambling sites would. I'm guessing that those who set the lines at those sites are thinking that Allenspach won't be in the lineup.

We will have our hands full at 6:30 tomorrow at the RC as George Mason (19-2, 7-1) comes in as #2 in conference 1 game behind St Louis. Their sole conf loss was to URI 65-74. Their strength

I'd think that our NET and, for sure, Kenpom are based on analytics and don't take into account actual gambling site odds. If we win, it won't change the Quad level of Bonaventure but the margin of victory will affect our Kenpom rating.

At the local casino. Was gonna throw some money down on Mason but forgot I live in NY State. Can't bet on games involving NY teams. Damn!

Hill, Long, Adebayo and Ellington are the active seniors or fifth years on this team.

All of them need to step forward and play like "there is no tomorrow" for the rest of the season...for them ..it is reality..

Hill and long are doing that....Ellington needs to do it consistently...Adebayo has been asleep..he. needs to do it ..it's now or never Dola..now or never..

Lastly, I wanna see Stas hits those open 3's..stretch the defense baby..we know you can do it!!!

If that rib injury is anything like what I have had, he's going to be for quite a while. Weeks.

There's no way Dola is 100% healthy. He's been hurt all year. I think It got better then hurt again, missed a game or 2 but really isn't 100%. His knee has looked weird at times and he's wincing. The other 3 no excuses. I think for most part Hill and Long have been great but even Hill was hurt. There's no denying the amount of injuries they have had.
