Bump. Discuss.

 

[MasonFanatic]

I guess we'll see who conducted the better spying operation, Mike Wells or Eric Skeeters.

 

[phoenix-arizona]

No great wins for USf. If it's a gmu home game I say a tight win. Mason by six

 

[AlphaMasonPatriot]

Mason should have the confidence flowing off the URI win, keep the momentum flowing.

Mason 66
USF 58

 

[The Great PATSby]

Our boys light it up in spit of Judas Wells.

Us 76
Bulls 66

 

[EXpatriot13]

I would love to see us play a game where Sherrod and Allen are both playing extremely well. Wonder what that's like?

IF that happens, we win by 15+.
GMU: 78
USF: 62
IF that doesn't happen, we move in slow-motion and barely score 60.
GMU: 60
USF: 53

Mason a 5 pt favorite (rpiforecast.com). I think before this weekend's games, we were closer to 2-3 pt favorites.

 

[GreenLantern]

Us 72
Them 69
OT

 

[TweederGMU]

Goodguys 65
No Running of the Bull here 59

 

[Pikapppatri8]

We will lose because we suck. I have learned enough on these boards to just not watch or show up.

FSU 74
Mason 63

 

[Pikapppatri8]

This game will be over in the first 8 minutes. Book it.

 

[PDGL Hoops]

If we play defense we win - unfortunately easier said than done. Like all Mason games this will come down to the final minute:

Mason: 67
USF: 65

I heard that sherrod is gonna pull out his pork sword and teach these guys the 3 armed dribble.

105 us - 50 them

We must have the same source, because I heard the same thing!

 

[99 Patriot]

Last year this game was painful to watch. Imagining the same this time around, but we find a way to pull it out, 57-53. Lots of people are unhappy afterwards and think Coach L would have beaten them by 30.

 

[EXpatriot13]

If we don't play better overall, and win somewhat comfortably (aka the game isn't in the balance with 2 minutes left) I'm terrified that this thread will turn into the Rhode Island one.

For my sanity, I hope we win comfortably.

 

[Scythe]

I say we win, but I want it to be a stabilizing game to show progress (especially within a team dynamic). I don't care what decisions Hewitt makes, I just want to see a team that works together with some fluidity and doesn't throw the ball away every other possession rushing or making lazy passes. Win or lose, that's all I want to see.

I'm hopeful we'll get there, but it needs to be sooner rather than later.

For my sanity, I hope we win comfortably.

If we don't play better than we played Saturday, we probably won't win.

Can't always count on the opponent to bring their C game.

Jim, I think you've already minimized the Rhode Island victory enough in the other thread. Here's to South Florida bringing their D game, so we can win back-to-back games we didn't deserve.
