Game 7, Rhode Island, Nov. 30th, 4 PM, MASN

Washingtonian

Hall of Famer
For those in other parts of the country, this game is also on SNY and OSN (Ocean State Networks is from Rhode Island's site).

This is a non-conference game due to a 3 year deal being signed prior to the conference switch, the game at Rhode Island later in the season counts a conference game.

Rhode Island comes into this game with a 6-2 record, losing at Arizona 87-59 and at SMU 89-58. Their schedule can be found here:

I'm curious what the crowd will be like, especially since this is on MASN. Does the casual sports fan even know that we've lost two in a row and will that make them think twice about coming when they can stay home and watch on TV as well as watch Alabama @ Auburn? With no students on campus, was this a game the sales team focused on families and groups? My contact in Vegas set the over/under at 3,500

I will take the over in attendance at closer to 4K....as far as winning - totally depends on which team shows up. We need to play a complete game, show poise when we have a scoring drought or they may a run, and maintain intensity. None of which seems to happen at the same time with this team.

I'll be tuning in on SNY for this one. Maybe, just maybe we won't start out slow, nah who am I kidding? Hopefully J2 doesn't eat too much turkey over Thanksgiving break, or else we might see 9783479343 open cuts to the basket for easy layups again.

Hewitt must change and let the basketball spirits within his players go free. Otherwise we will continue to watch our players play like they have a voice in their head telling them what to do every second.

Missing this one due to traveling. Gave my pair of tickets to a friend though. Gotta keep those attendance numbers up!

For anyone planning on coming to the game who doesn't yet have tickets...I have 2 tickets available for face value next to me and a couple friends in section 118. My wife and other friend can't make it to the game. These are tickets from the 6 game weekend plans that we bought. Let me know if you are interested. I will also post this in the ticket exchange.

It will be fun watching both squads, stuffed with turkey and thanksgiving meals, run up and down the court.

I say GMU snaps the losing streak at two games and wins by a touch-down: 67-60

We lose 72-65 and Hewitt will go count his money at Halftime. No one in the Mason family cares enough and the ones that do don't have enough power to do anything about it.

Oh by the way, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! :(

I am still a dreamer. I think we get the win. It won't be pretty and will be quite frustrating to watch, but we do it by half a point,.. rounded up.

I'm really disappointed in JA, who is (was?) one of my favorite players on the team. I hope we hear the real story soon, and that he's back on the court asap.

Any truth to the rumor the car accident and the potential settlement is playing a role in him not playing?
 
Just spill the beans, man. It's obvious you have some inside information, so stop teasing us and tell us if he ever plans to suit up again.

I told you weeks ago he has a bad back and we'd see Copes before Arledge. You didn't believe me and questioned the information.

You get what you get. (I have no idea if he has any plans to suit up again. He hasn't made a single road trip. I'm guessing this is a lingering injury)

I questioned it, because it appeared that you accidentally left him out of the rotation you listed. How were we supposed to know you knew something we didn't know you knew. Now that we know you knew, you should share it with the group. It's message board etiquette, man! :)
