I won't allow myself to be optimistic until I see improvement - 1st step would be beating Dayton by more than the spread and most importantly, starting the game with energy and defense.

I am looking forward to an NIT game or if possible a trip to vegas.

renewed optimism and vastly lowered expectations.
Any post season is still back to back. Better than any time in the last 15 years.

A half step up.

Next keep the most important talent in the rotation during portal season and upgrade in other areas.

Well, we may very well get a rematch with VT in the NIT.... they will be one of the ACC teams in the NIT this year.

i doubt if we make the Crown in Vegas
last year there were 16 teams - this year will be 8
but 6 teams/slots are already tied to P4 conferences
better teams in terms of records, SoS, and fan travelability than GMU

I think i will head to Vegas for that week - regardless of who gets invited

They will go to Vegas. More like Rutgers or Penn State.

NCAA or NIT, enough with these made up tournaments like the Clown Tournament in Vegas. Yes the Clown as I call it.

Sure they do, doesn't mean that I want Mason to participate in it.

Top 4 get direct NIL payouts.

All expenses paid for participants and 12 NBA teams will attend to scout players.

In my Christopher Walken voice

"Ya Know...Tony Skinn has compared Riley Allenspach to Bill Laimbeer"

In my Rod Thorn voice

"With the 60th pick in the 2026 NBA draft, the Oklahoma City Thunder select Riley Allenspach"!

" The eight teams that will make up the 2026 field for the College Basketball Crown will consist of the top two teams in the Big East, Big Ten and Big 12 that didn't make the NCAA Tournament, along with two wild card teams selected by the committee. "

Pretty sure it was a not-very-good-tv analyst that made the Laimbeer comparison, not Tony. Also, Allenspach has another year of eligibility and not likely to be drafted this year.

Allenspach won’t be drafted in any year.
