Game 32: A-10 Tournament, #10 seed Fordham (in Pittsburgh), Thursday, March 9th, 6 PM, NBCSN

[GM Logo Guy]

It's so hard to beat a quality team three times in a season.

All the pressure is on vcu. They are expected to win, Mason can just go out and play. I'm
So excited

 

[mkaufman1]

That was AMAZING

for those who enjoy 115 shenanigans rumor has it there may be some Mason fans at Carpool in Arlington tomorrow

It looked like the miss on the second free throw might have been intentional. Did appear that way to anyone else?

Grayer in the post-game with Bill Roland said they were telling Moore to make it. So, I don't know if he improvised or what, but it worked out.

They are experienced with 5 seniors, nobody on their team knows what it's like NOT go to to the NCAAT, and their coach has one foot out the door already. We have ZERO pressure on us. Shoot, were we supposed to win by 11 when we're down 7 with 58 seconds left in regulation?

 

[GSII]

Wow. vcu better watch out.

 

[Vurbel]

Wow. vcu better watch out.

for a new coach once Will Wade goes to Clemson?

Oh and we now officially have a 20 win season in Paulsen's 2nd year after taking over the Titanic.

speaking of the Titanic, why is the band playing the theme song from the Titanic after the game? They played it during the 2nd half of the Duquesne game too

Our Hearts Will Go On? I mean, I know it's about missing Leo, but the lyric makes sense.

Better than Living on a Prayer. The song was cute for a few seasons, but after the 800000000th time it got old.

Another I got sick of hearing (and this is from like every school) was the Seven Nation Army chant.

 

[GMUYoda]

Just double checking... we won, right?

We're talking about the mixed doubles tennis team, right?

 

[Mason Addict]

A monumental 1st A10 tourney victory defining the turnaround of this program in Paulsens 2nd year. I am so pumped, win or lose tomorrow, we have arrived people!

 

[GMU_DCU]

Hell yeah!!!! Damn I love this team, serious man crushes all around. That post game interview with Marquise was the first time Ive seen him let loose and look like he was enjoying himself in an interview. This team has nothing to lose, time to knock off Rams on back to back days.

 

[GMUYoda]

SLU vs GW is U G L Y

GW has 23 pts TOTAL with 11 and change to play in the game

 

[Washingtonian]

Damn dude, one point off for Fordham and your OT prediction happened, nice work!

"'This was unbelievable tonight,' head coach Dave Paulsen said. 'I don't think I've ever been part of that big of a comeback, that late in a game. Everything had to go right for us, and I give our guys a tremendous amount of credit for their grit, for their resolve, for not getting rattled and for making big plays. There were stretches where it was ugly. We've had that a few times, but whether we play pretty or ugly, we fight every single night.'

Senior Marquise Moore led Mason with a monster effort, tallying a game-high 25 points in addition to a career-best 19 rebounds. The Queens, N.Y., product also tallied five assists and a pair of blocks in 43 minutes on the floor. His 19 rebounds was just one off the A-10 Tournament record of 20, set by Carlin Warley of Saint Joseph's in 1995."

We out-rebounded them by 30 tonight (52-22)! Think about how mind-boggling that stat is. To put that in perspective, Marquise had three less rebounds than their entire team.

No chance in hell that miss was intentional. Murrell was in the game, presumably just to deny inbound/foul. I don't think you put him in the game there to rebound/play offense.
