Is it me or did they start their bench? That is not a good sign. It looks all our good players may portal.

I don’t think they started anyone who’s typically on the bench

 

[hoops10]

On the floor, Sivka, Booker, Presley, Troutman. CTS new way to overcome a deficit.

 

[gmulion]

If they could make layups, this would be a close game...

 

[tblack33]

Troutman might be the worst defender to wear a Mason uniform in years.

 

[FreeGunston12]

Forcing everything. Still have no idea how to defend a simple screen, on or off the ball.

 

[mshin5]

Only want Kanga, Mincy, and Long back. What an embarrassment this is. No defense injured finger Mincy is back

 

[GSII]

Pussies!!

 

[mshin5]

Pressley has shown literally no contribution on either end all season but Tony still plays him

 

[mshin5]

Love that we’re doing the exact opposite of attacking the paint hard

 

[mshin5]

WE’RE GETTING OUTREBOUNDED BY THE SMALLEST TEAM IN THE WORLD

 

[GSII]

Getting out rebounded by the worst rebounding team in the USA. Horrible game plan vs this offense. Good job Tony in 1st half getting carved up. More of the same in 2nd im sure.

 

[CarlD]

29% from the field and 12.5% from 3, not getting it done. Hopefully we trend back.

 

[Portlandian]

That win vs Saint Louis just gets weirder and weirder considering all the performances around it.

 

[hoops10]

Announcer says Liberty one of the worst rebounding teams in the country. Yes, but they are playing Mason.
Skinn needs to start all over for next year. Please no more Sivka, Presley, Adebayo, Troutman. Play the walk-ons. How has this team gone right down the drain. Very sad.

Better news USA baseball Vs. Venezuela, Game on at 8.

Adebayo has no eligibility. Presley was originally picked up as a beach warmer before BOC get injured, Sivka has 2 more years, Troutman is probably gone.

 

[gmulion]

Play Stas more! He had the best +/- on the team in conference games. He actually knows where to be on the court and can hit outside shots. His length on defense can give Liberty trouble.

 

[mshin5]

You think Jalen Haynes can play?

 

[Where's the party?]

I guess it will depend which team shows up. We've been Jekell and Hyde over the last few games. What we need is a combination of brains and brawn for a change. Let's have a game plan and stick to it until it needs changing, and then change it. Let's play with intensity the entire game, not the first or last five minutes.

And please God, don't let these players do what Dave Paulson's team did in his last CBI game and goof off forcing Tony to bench them because they are embarrassing the program. Especially in front of the loyal customers who have paid their salaries while they were at Mason.

The team we should have been - 68
The team we should crush - 59

It’s probably poor form to reply to my own post, but jeezus I’m seeing DP CBI #2. Wishing I hadn’t shelled out $300 for four tix and a pregame at velocity,

 

[Portlandian]

If they don't win the game, Tony isn't going to take the team out for lazagnah and canoolis.
