I tried my best to watch Davidson at La Salle last night. 700 tip. I fell asleep. It was truly awful. Close in score but not exciting. The "color guy" said that "the quality of play didn't go down when the subs came in." Truer words were never spoken. They all sucked.

Don't want to stray from the Mason game but I watched some of it too. La Salle is going thru the mid-season thing when a team becomes fractured. Dunphy did not play four of his starters and best players. He played them some in the 2nd half but Quisenberry only played 2 minutes. Something happened but he would not elaborate other than saying this.....

I'll be at the STU tonight for this one. -8 makes me a bit nervous. GM is another one of those teams that always plays us hard. Hoping we come out with lots of energy and would love to see Shriv drop six 3's and JW have another good night.

They're going to be tough. George Mason is pretty stout on offense and is one of the best shooting teams in the country (25th on Torvik in FG%). That being said, they turn the ball over a lot and if we play our typical game on defense, they should be beatable.

They have dropped (albeit in some cases by as little as 1 point) all but their last road game. I look for VCU to hold serve and lay the lumber to these guys.

Let’s hope Shriver goes for a new school record for made 3s. I have a gallon size ziploc bag of adhesive mustaches to give to the Rowdies & Peppas tonight. Hope it will be a big win for the Rams!

nah, spread it around, Shrive, Nunn, Jamir, Ace all with a couple and someone else hits a stray three (Banks) and we go 9-14. GooMoos will be saying, "Dang, who are we supposed to guard?"
Love the staches, wish I was there, I'd have one on. Not so sure how well it would go with my beard though.
Maybe that would make a good T-shirt too. Gold T-shirt with nothing on it but a bigger than life sized Shriver Mustache.

The bench battle is really 2 components: Bigs and Guards.
Mason has been running their offense thru Oduro since Kim English took over. The problem is you could literally stop Mason offense by getting him in foul trouble and forcing them to play small become a dribble drive/jump shooting team with no continuity, no rim protection or rebounding. This year, Mason has two very capable bigs which allow them to continue to play inside out when Oduro goes to the bench..combined with fact VCU has a shorter front line bench than last year..it's about even.
The backcourt is a different story, Mason had a veteran team of pg's last year. Not so much this year. The 2 guards who take over when Polite goes the bench are a freshman and midmajor transfer still getting acclimated to the A10. They can be turned over. Advantage VCU.
