Nitpicking I know, but we've given up 6 offensive rebounds so far

Yeah that 4 chance possession was annoying

I like steals and dunks

This shows how important defense is.

How many dunks did we have in the first half? It seemed like a lot

Mason leads 39-31 at the half

Just two TOs for Mason in the 1st half.

Hall has got ice water in his veins…

Hall and Maddox making me develop a man crush - shit

He does not get phased.

Mason up 56-36

Just two TOs for Mason in the 1st half.

Other than the 1st game against Monmouth, we have been remarkably consistent in terms of taking care of the ball. We haven't had more than 12 TOs in a game, with three games where we had 11. Today, we're obviously on track to be sub-10 for the game.

Compare this against KE coached teams (and Paulsen's, for that matter), where TOs were a consistent problem. It's too early to know for sure, but if careful stewardship of the ball (in addition to our 2 pt D) is another hallmark of this squad, a Top 4 finish is within our grasp.

East Carolina going on a run... down by 13 now

 

[DRK331]

Mason leads 64-46

 

[GreenLantern]

Another double/double for Hall

 

[Pikapppatri8]

I am going to say it now - Coach Skinn has to be the best at constructing a team - getting the right combination of players/skills. I have never watched a game that should be close so comfortably in over a decade.

Let’s see 18/20 at home over the past few years

20 plus win today at home.

Saw lots of good stuff today. Defense was on point, we rotated and switched when needed. Offensively we had some really good moments moving the ball and getting out in transition.

Welcome back Ronny, good to see Darius participate and Billups contribute offensively as well. Nice contribution by Newton off the bench as well on both sides of the ball. He had a great hustle rebound that really helped seal the win with a few minutes left.

It’s fun winning at home by 20 plus. Every time ECU made a run we counterpunched.

Onto the next one. Go mason.

Billops played great defense

Wow, impressive performance. This team has a personality and style that is fun to watch.

That’s what I expected from Billups offensively, finding himself in advantageous positions in the lane, and he continues to be a bully on defense.
