Has he lost the team? What is even going on. This isn't just Mincy not being 100%. They don't rebound at all anymore, they play zero defense, miss foul shots, miss layups, throw insanely horrible passes out of bounds. The effort is just gone. Richmond is a horrendous team. No sugar coating that. This is now like the 3rd horrendous game in a row. Saturday they won but they really only played 4 minutes well. This is the worst game i've seen under Tony Skinn in 3 years hands down. VT and Rhode Island weren't good but this is a whole new level of awful. NOW ADD DRIBBLING OFF YOUR FEET to the list!

[GMUgemini]

This game is over.

 

[FlPatriot]

Time to go read…no way they win this.

 

[Portlandian]

An early Valentine's day gift for the Spiders. An easy end to their six game losing streak

 

[DRK331]

Mason down 49-75 with 7:54 left in the 2nd half

 

[GSII]

And there goes mincy. Hurts his thumb again.

 

[JimP]

Embarrassing

 

[Sport31]

Game over. Without Mincy 100% our offense is pathetic. This is the most embarrassing loss of the Skin era, no energy, piss poor defense and overall lack of effort.

 

[jruby]

Mincy may be done in a Mason uniform. Not much season left. He can't be out there with that sh** on his hand. Now he may have hurt it to point where he's not coming back in next 3 weeks.

 

[DRK331]

A Richmond player pushed Riley Allenspach in mid air for a flagerent 1

 

[jruby]

I think even Goofys Richmond teammates wanted him to get jacked up there. Coach was like, 'Dude he's going to kill you'

I don't think so.

I would rest mincy until the tournament.
Attempt to stay in the top 4
Get into the NIT
Keep the six most critical pieces over the spring, if possible..for continuity.
Get Brayden back for next year.
And hit the portal for a skilled experienced power forward and another athletic wing
And go for it again next year.

 

[DRK331]

Mason down 62-77

 

[NewPatriot]

Did you guys here that!!

Brayden is playing 5 on 5 and is now day to day..he will be back before March!!

 

[Where's the party?]

It's like watching a train wreck. It just get's worse and I can't bring myself to change channels. (and Mason seems to be in slow motion)

We have been a lucky pretty bad team for a while now. The luck is gone, and I don't see this turning around this year. Mincey is gone, Allenspach's flaws are exposed, and nobody else is providing any offense or defense of note (Kanga's D, and Fatt/Long's O best of bunch), and the coaching is suddenly questionable over last five - not a recipe for success.

 

[DRK331]

Mason loses 70-82

 

[psyclone]

Don't get me wrong...we played a miserable game, but a few of you here are real catastrophizers. It's like we'll never win again this year. IT'S BASKETBALL!! These things happen.
.
P.S. We lost to a mediocre Duquesne team last season by 17 for our 3d conference loss.

Not much positive to take away from this game but we were down by 26 pts at one point in the second half and lost by 12.
