George Mason (6-1) vs. Nebraska (3-2) Game Thread

[Bugeaters1]

Getting the game thread up early on this snowy Tuesday.

GMU's starting lineup runs 5'10, 6'1, 6'2, 6'6, 6'7.

 

The two taller dudes weigh about 190# and 210# respectively, but they both average about 13 ppg.

 

They have a backup big who runs about 6'8 and 230#, but @hhcmatt reports on Twitter he might be out with a hurt toe suffered last night.

 

So, it's a short bench in more ways than one for the fighting GMUs. I can see why the line favors us.

Would be nice to see Yuv have a breakout game today.  He will certainly be the biggest dude on the floor to start the game.

He'll be the biggest dude on the floor at any point during the game.

About time for Basnett to settle in with his tropical drink (Bud Light with a pineapple wedge). Rumor is that the LJS has sprung for a free bag of Corn Nuts too. Should insure our usual insightful coverage in the morning paper-not to mention on the tweetaphone.

Washington State had no problem with Old Dominion (ODU was beating George Mason at halftime yesterday)

[Handy Johnson]

Mack with 3 early turnovers... not good

[Handy Johnson]

Burke brings us all the way back...!

If we manage to win this, someone needs to buy Dachon a bronze laurel to wear.

Scott Frost describing Mills & JD spilling their "guts," eh?

 

 

[Handy Johnson]

Bang-a-Rang for Sumari...!

[Bugeaters1]

just shoot it from half court.

 

[Handy Johnson]

Starting to get away from us, need to stem the bleeding before half...

[Bugeaters1]

This is as ugly as it is outside!!

[Red Don]

Halftime Stats:   Not going to wing many shooting 32% from the field.

Man the refs let a lot of stuff go.

[Handy Johnson]

What’s up with Kevin Cross, haven’t heard a word about him on the radio?

[millerhusker]

5 assists to 11 turnovers and given up 11 offensive rebounds. Recipe for disaster.

[tcp]

boards and shooting percentage. same old same old. 

 

9 point hole might be a bit much to climb out of, but one good thing about playing frisky run and gun is that if crap starts falling, they can get back in it fast. But 28 points in a half? Nyet.
