What games do you wish you could watch again?

My guess is Bill Courtney.

Nope. Assistant Mike Gillian. Drew up a curl action to create space from that uncw stingy zone.

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

John Vaughan

John Vaughan

You are correct - https://gomason.com/news/2009/2/25/205049052.aspx

What the recap does not indicate is that during timeouts, Coach L and his assistants stood away from the team and John Vaughan instructed his teammates. Also, before the winning shot, John Vaughan told Darryl Monroe to be ready to pass the ball to him under the basket where he would be open.

The vcu Valentines game.

I second that one, I got in soooooo much trouble for going to that game due to what day it was, but it ended up being so worth it!

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

@bravesfan Are you talking about this game? https://africa.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap/_/gameId/253150154

Ha yeah. My girlfriend/ now wife- doesn’t give me grief about it fortunately since she had a great time and knew how much that win meant.

Although once we got engaged her attendance at mason basketball games has decreased. Mostly due to losing but regardless.

Same, my then gf-now wife was pissed I mentioned at the end of dinner "now it's time to go to the basketball game" and claims I didn't mention it before (definitely did). Then with how game ended she admitted its a good thing we went because I would have been soooooo pissed.

Oh yes. Of course I was just snarking on the old CAAZone thread about Homecourt Disadvantage and Mason only took Wake to overtime because of that.

Here's a good one - win at Dayton, 2023:

One of my favorite games of the CKE era. Great game and I got to watch it in person as well. The icing on the cake is that one of the Dayton fans on twitter called CKE a snake oil salesman a little while after this game and I got to point out the humor of his comment given we had beaten Dayton in their home arena.

I truly thought this was the corner turning for CKE as a coach and for our program after this win. Was about as well coached as I've seen a Mason game in the last 10 years in A10 play (there are a few others that come to mind, beating vcu in 2016, beating vcu in richmond both under Paulsen, game against UMD in nonconf) but this was a game where I truly thought something special was happening. When you walk into Dayton in late February and take a game like that, to me that is a big big step.
