Am curious as to exactly which part of this post required editing?

I was about to edit my plans for Friday at around the 2 minute mark of yesterday's game.
Hoping for not only playing Mason pretty much even as we did during the season,
but this time some good shooting, including the foul line, for the wins we should have
had against them.

The spread has moved from 2.5 to 3.5, so people are betting on Mason, but I feel pretty optimistic about the game. The last two games showed that we are basically evenly matched against them, and it is very hard to beat a more or less equal team three times in one season.

Now +4.5 on the Emerald City. I’m kinda liking that.

There were a couple upsets in the Round 1 pillow fights, but since then its been all chalk. Hopefully GW can change that.

You guys think the spread has shifted in George Mason's favor because people see the #2 and #7 in front of the teams and think Mason is way better than GW? Or does someone in Vegas have insider info that GW is not going to play well today!!

Could be literally anything these days, but my guess is Vegas is moving the line because there was an imbalance developing which could have led them to take on losses that were outside their risk models.

Decent start and matching their intensity. Looking to see if fatigue sets in later in the game.

What's with the turnovers Hansen?

**Posted by Alum1** 3/14/2025 4:31 pm

Maybe Jones will figure out the chaotic drive to the basket against three defenders doesn’t end well.

**Posted by danjsport** 3/14/2025 4:36 pm

A rebound or two would be nice!

Techs are not smart. Hansen too lax with ball. Oh, well.

after 10 years of trying to force the Revolutionary Rivalry to happen, maybe this will be the game that actually makes it happen

Hansen with four turnovers on his own. Basically delivered a four point play for Mason on that last possession.

Need to start rebounding and Hansen needs to wake up (or else this will be his last collegiate game). Would like to see more off-ball movement when GW has the ball. Good to see the shots falling and the team waiting for good looks.

1) Double technical seemed BS. O'Connor started and continued everything and kept jawing on the
way to the bench. Also he pushes off big time.
2) Hansen was fouled on that rebound with 13 seconds left that we turned over.
3) Wish we had a big body to put on Haynes, even for a bit.
4) Hope this surprising 3-point shooting extends next half.
And we stay out of the first 4 minute danger zone for us.
We've got another half to prove/keep our mettle and make up for the last two games
against them.

Crazy goaltending

Horrible start to 2nd half. GMU 12=0 run.
