Game 3: GMU (2-0) vs Morgan St. (2-0) on Sunday, November 14, at 6 PM.

I love the experience and talent of the new transfers -- Schwartz, Cooper, and Gaines. It is so obvious watching them play that they know what the heck they are doing. I'm already dreading losing Schwartz and Cooper next year. Those 3 guys are rock solid.

Cooper could technically stay another year if he wanted to…

What even crazier? We could have Oduro for another two after this one!

Here you go. The last question is a doozie.

Lots of great quotes from the coach in this one.

Kenpom has Mason as an 8 pt favorite. Mason is now #177 (from 190) vs Morgan St #254.

Took at look at Penn's schedule--games on Sunday (Bucknell), Tuesday (Lafayette), Thursday (Utah St). 5 games in 8 days!! What are they thinking?!

We are now down to #156 on Kenpom from starting at #211

Not down, up. We are “up” to #156.

You can be forgiven for that error, I know that’s probably a tough thing to get used to, saying up instead of down.

I always get that wrong. My bad

Fun game. Got to sit courtside tonight. You could see the intensity and focus on each of our players' faces throughout the entire game. Great to see. Love this team!

Missed this one to manage my 2nd job coaching.

ESPN+ is an underrated wonder. So good. Just so good. (Less turnovers please).

Fear the turtle?…not really.

Just finished watching. That was fun to watch. Very happy with the first 3 games. Love the direction of the program and team.

Few things and there’s plenty to say but this popped into my head

- seemed like Morgan state’s press bothered mason a bit. They got out of it most of the time but when Mason plays vcu they’ll need to improve a little bit. Just seems like they were slow in passing out of it or put themselves in bad spots a few times too many.
- it’s nice to have shooters. 15 3s. Oduro joins the party. Gaines had a 4 point play.
- sloppy start for both teams in the first half but then Mason woke up. They need to take care of the ball. The turnovers were much better in the second half though.
- nice to see Otis Frazier contribute quality minutes. Having him in the rotation allows for some more length in the lineup.
- Malik Henry is contributing quality minutes up front. His dunking has attitude and I love that.

Blake Jones needs to put on a little muscle. He gets pushed around a bit too easily. For comparison, he’s 8 inches taller & 2 pounds lighter then fellow Frosh Mike Gray. But when he does, he’s going to be a heck of a ball player.

Here are a couple images from the game. In all my time doing this I've never experienced this much fun. Mason Men's BB got me a credential for Maryland and I can't wait! More pics added tomorrow on the photo blog. Tired!
Enjoy the win, re-watch the game, keep the chatter going! #RockWithUs

I LOVE this team. I LOVE this coach. I LOVE the energy. I LOVE that the crowds are getting louder and that no one near me is asking me to be quiet. For the first time I will be critical. In order to win the A10, which we will do, we have to take better care of the ball. 10 first half turnovers is not acceptable.

Agree, right now we are a good team. But this team has a lot of potential. Take care of the ball and we will be dancing.

I hope we don't get caught looking forward to the MD game. I expect a win, but it's a bit closer than we want it to be.

Morgan State 71
Mason 78

Wrong I was. Disappointing my prediction was.

Prepared Mason was. Crushed their opponent they did yes yes
