I sure hope we take this one. We haven't won at home since January 2.

I see two things potentially happening.

1) The team comes out charged up like at UMass, sees a big crowd ready to cheer, and plays a solid game

2) The team continues be inconsistent, comes out flat, tries to overcome a big deficit but can't.

I'm hoping that with the last two games they continue to roll and making progress.

I will be there after some pre gaming with Pi Kapp Alumni. I think we see the team come out on fire. I would like to see them look for blood and go for the jugular.

If this team can start closing out games and keeping leads like last two games, I like our chances (as long as we dont draw vcu) in the conf tourney.

With the A10 being so strong this year, stringing together wins could undo some of the losing streak woes.

Luckily it's homecoming, so no matter the outcome I'll be more drunk than usual.

My prediction:
Me: 6 - 10
Beer: 0

Confidence is such a big part of basketball. Winning two in a row with the UMass win being significant, I'm going with the home team.
Mason 80
St Bonaventure 72

Anyone know if the team was able to get home without being impacted by the storm?

1st homecoming since graduation that I can't make. But for everyone else's sake I just hope we win because the terrible loss last year made things pretty awkward at the Mason Inn when Hewitt was walking around.

Yeah the Mason BB instagram posted that they landed at Dulles. I assume they got to campus okay from there.

I'll be heading down to Fairfax from Connecticut tomorrow afternoon. Lets get ready to tailgate and fill the Patriot Center!

Formatting has no pre option. RI, Dusquene, Fordham, and GMU are all 2-8

Only need one win to be in the middle of the pack LOL

Yea, it just got really bad within the last hour or so. Expecting 10-15 inches where I am. Should be all clear by late tomorrow afternoon. Only thing I'm worried about is 495 in Maryland/Virginia. That road is awful on a sunny day, can't imagine what it'll be like post-blizzard.

Just to piss you guys off, the cold front moved in last night with thunderstorms and rain this morning. The high is supposed to be 73 today with an overnight low of 48

Mason by 5 . CCM students sack Johnson center as a showing of catholic solidarity with saint boniventure

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Such a big game for the program. Unfortunately coinciding with us playing better is St. Bonnie playing a little better after a little lull. Had no trouble with Fordham on the road and led the whole way. Not that Fordham is great, but still.

 

[MasonCrew]

Let's just keep winning. I hate the winter, and (apart from the gangja I just hung out with) Mason winning is my sole source of delight in these cold days.

 

[polepino]

Gotta like GMU at home after winning two in a row, defeating one of the better programs in the league along the way.
