Keep the good feelings going Mason. A UMass win is highly unlikely, but please beat the Bonnies at home.

I finally get to make it to a weekend home game... It's been a minute...

I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but today's game was the 5th Chuck Cooper Classic. Cooper was a former Duquesne player who was the first African-American player drafted in the NBA (1950 by the Boston Celtics).

Nobody who said "tide is turning" or "going on a run" was being serious, except maybe El Presidente, but that doesn't count. Don't get all serious when people are finally having some fun. And, actually some people are rooting for 0-16 because they believe it will force a coaching change. I'm not one of those people, but I get it.

I wanted to type "looks like things are starting to turn around" to tweak EXpatriot13, but he anticipated. I'm happy for the W, though.

Look I think we're a long way from success. We are 8-15. The remaining games are more about trying to get to "near" .500. I want us to try to win every game. Realistically? Probably 12-18 or 13-17. We had a down year. However, I think we'll regroup in the offseason and develop a better chemistry now that he has more of his guys. I expect the NIT or an NCAA bid from Coach Hewitt in 2015. Anything less will be a failure.

Sad part about this is... We're still in last place

What's keeping me afloat is the fact that I know college bball is all about runs. It would be almost ridiculous for us to win from here on out but, technically, it is still possible no matter how low the chances.

flip side
it was as ridiculous for us to lose 7 straight

So can we tell Tom not to watch antmore games?

Did he watch from his hospital bed? Cue up the "superstition" beer commercial!

Tom's alive!
Welcome back.

This thread is hysterical.

I'm glad Sherwood Wright was able to put the knife in the coffin for the George Mason Patriarchs.

What time does the parade start tomorrow welcoming home our champions?

 

[gmutom]

Tom's alive!
Welcome back.

I'm alive but they want to keep me in hospital a few nights to pump me with antibiotics. Good times.

 

[Quentin Daniels]

Nice to get him off the teams back.

Tom--I do hope you're getting better, but I do think you need to stay in the hospital through Wednesday night at least until 9:30 or so.

I would if I thought it would help, but missed the Dayton game last week and that sadly didn't help.

Tom... I hope you start feeling better soon!

 

[psyclone]

Tom... I hope you start feeling better soon!

For sure; while wins are precious, they aren't more valuable than long-time loyal fans.

 

[azgmu]

Yep. The thing we're hoping for the rest of the way is that other teams try to avoid seeding against us in the tourney.
