The offensive rebound on the missed FT was Bam’d fault.   He boxed his man, but he didn’t go toward the rebound - stood still and waited for it to come to him while a guy from the other side of the line actually went hard to get it in front of him. 

I do like the floor spacing with the three small guards out there, and it’s created some shots and driving lanes, but the off ball movement and off ball screen setting isn’t keeping up.  (Knapp is off, unsurprisingly given how little he’s played, but he has that kind of stroke that once he gets more comfortable you know he can hot at any moment).

Regardless, we will take a 4 point lead at the half.  Need to come out strong in the second and not give up a patented run where we can’t score or defend for the first 10 minutes of the second half.

Maybe JC's beard was cursed?

I´ll take it. Wait? There is a SECOND half, too? Uh oh. Mason looked like it was shaking off the rust in the final five mins of the first. If the shots keep clanking off the rim, GW´s inability to exhibit even a modicum of rebounding ability will become a big liability.

Wow check out the MLK/A-10 piece at halftime. Really awesome!

Hard to believe Lindo, Brown and Adams are all "injured"

LOL, spoken like a true GW fan. 
You're right, though. Anyone check the transfer portal today?

Yeah definitely proud of the A-10 being leaders in giving opportunities to black coaches.  

I hardly say anything good about the school but to our credit, I think GW has always made the extra effort to find qualified Black head coaches, mostly as a way to relate to the city.

As decimated as this team is, and Nixon still can't get into the game.  Would love to know what is going on here.

Favorite pair of comments: Gillen: GW needs to take its time,pass the ball around and take a good shot."
  Play by play announcer: "And Bishop wastes no time in taking a 3."
Later,JB though,drives and great pass.

True comment in my house: "Did they just say Mason up by 5? How did that happen!"

Now comes the moment of truth.  How does the team come out of the gate after halftime?

We've seen this show before, ugh
