Good to be 3-2 after that serendipitous 0-2 start (that forced NU to work together better, that is) to the Hoiberg era.

 

Now, which team is next in the Caymans for the Big Red?

 

 

George Mason, I believe they’re 5-1... winners bracket baby!

[Red Don]

A win pits us against George Mason (6-1) tomorrow. A loss would have pitted us against Old Dominion (3-3).

So obviously it was a weird quirk where he got the T while shooting free throws.  But I guess they probably *should* have DQ'd him and not allowed him to shoot that second FT.  Regardless it didn't really affect the outcome.

 

But yeah the refs kinda screwed that up big time.

Thanks. That could be a good matchup. Let's Go, Big Red !!

George Mason tomorrow and USF or New Mexico St on Turkey Day. It will be nice to see us against some mediocre to above average competition. I think this team has a couple of dogs on it who are made for the bright lights and big time. I expect a good showing a couple of our guys these next two games.

I believe the rule is he gets to shoot his free throw and then goes to the bench.

Off-Topic...

 

Ga Tech just lost to Arkansas in OT for their first loss of the year.  Ga Tech held Arkansas to 0 points in the first 4:59 of OT and still lost.  Final OT score was 3-2 in favor of Arkansas.  That has to be a first right?

That's a unique stat.  In other unique stats we shot a higher percentage from 3 than the foul line for the second straight game.

George Mason has bought into the positionless basketball philosophy looks like.  They have one guy getting regular minutes who is 6'9" but Yvan's got 30 pounds on him.  But they can shoot the rock.

Sadly... we may set a record for most games like that this year.

Rebounding -- better

Free Throw shooting - ummm, not so much.

Not “40 minutes of Hell” but “5 minutes of Oh Well”...

They don't seem to have the numbers of a successful rock shooting team

Maybe you're right.  I see several guys shooting over 30% and it makes me think they're at least capable of getting rocks off.  They got 4 of those guys.

And Nebraska previously scored 90+ in two straight games, which hadn't happened since the 1999-2000 season. Also around the same time-frame that NU last won a holiday tourney !!

GMU fell behind the Sharks, but the Jets intervened. After that, it was a rumble!

And, here I figured on George & the Masons having assistance from an "Airplane" associate:

Remember when George Mason was in the Final Four...? I don’t either

And Loyola... man... this is a tougher tournament than I thought.  Just call this thing mini-Maui.

That would be pretty ticky tack.  Stupid former Loper

John Gaffney was the ref that made the call. So picking on an esteemed Loper alum will get overlooked at this time. ;)
