What games do you wish you could watch again?

Dre Smith's 10/10 on treys at JMU

My roommate and I were at that game. Absolutely insane. The middle aged JMU fan who sat in front of us and told us to "keep it down and remember where you are" before the game started left at halftime.

At least that guy showered (probably) compared to your former EBA neighbor lol

Maybe not.

I've been trying to track down full game recordings of the most iconic games played in the history of the George Mason program and get them on YouTube. Feels like if we don't do it, these parts of GMU history will be forever buried in a file cabinet somewhere and forgotten. Recently, with some help (you know who you are, thanks!) we were able to upload a full version of the Mason win over Villanova in the 2011 NCAAs.

What games do you wish you could watch again, but they aren't online to view?

2001 NCAA Mason vs Maryland?
2001 CAA Championship, Mason vs UNCW? (the 35-33 game, Brett Blizzard vs Jason Miskiri and George Evans)
2004 NIT Tennessee at Mason?
2008 NCAA Mason vs Notre Dame?

Any others you can think of?

2006 at vcu, big second half comeback, reminiscent of the comeback a few weeks alter against Uconn.

Actually that 20 point win mason had over vcu in 2011 would be a good ome

 

[TweederGMU]

Not to nitpick, but Miskiri graduated in 99. Price/Herring/Evans/Young vs Blizzard was 2001. Brutal game.

Can't believe we were 1-14 from 3 in that game and thank god Blizzard was off as well or we would of lost by a lot. I think Herring's one 3 pointer was in the final minutes if I remember correctly.

You are correct - MVP Erik Herring made the Patriots' only 3 pointer with 3:27 remaining - https://www.espn.com/ncb/2001/20010305/recap/gadnag.html

"They did it in a most unusual game, one where each team had a scoring drought that lasted more than seven minutes, and where the last field goal of the night was Erik Herring's go-ahead 3-pointer with 3:27 left."

Here's the edited down footage from that game. Pretty incredible. I hope he continues to hold the NCAA record for a long time.

Why the Notre Dame game? Wasn't that a one-sided slaughter?

Pretty much, other than Will Thomas and a peak at the future potential of Cam Long.

 

[Patriotsince81]

81 or 82, I don't remember exactly, when we played at UVA. Andre Gaddy vs Ralph Sampson. It may have been the first time we were on "real" TV.

 

[phoenix-arizona]

I know they lost a lot, but I would love to see some games from the Paul Ball era. I enjoy back and forth basketball where it's all fast breaks and launching 3s.

Agreed. GMU 148 - Troy St. 132. LOL.

Troy State made 47-of-123 field goal attempts, including 28-of-74 three-point tries, and had 27 assists. All were records for George Mason opponents. The teams combined for 226 field goal attempts and 108 three-point attempts.

 

[phoenix-arizona]

I think Donald Ross would have been my guy.

I was there, Will dominated the Big East POY but unfortunately Folarin had an off game. It wasn’t a straight up blow out, but it wasn’t close either.

Jordan Carter got to play some quality minutes after being put in the dog house and not playing much, if at all, at the end of the season. Was happy that he got that opportunity and played well.

The vcu Valentines game.

Who can name the Coach that drew up the play that Herring open for that three pointer?

My guess is Bill Courtney.

Trivia question: Name the former Patriot who made the winning shot, had double digit rebounds, and coached in a game at UNCW?

 

[bravesfan]

Wake Forest game for me. It's where Homecourt Disadvantage started and Mason very much had a hand in that!
