George Mason Game Thread!!

Obviously it's still early but it doesn't seem we have any pure shooters.  What were we like 2-16 from 3?  That just won't do.

[tgrogan21 6,198]

FT shooting also has to get better. Broome struggled in the exhibition with that and it seems like we'll struggle again. 3-9 from FT with 2 missed front ends.

Away from TV tonight, just looked at the box score.  How is Flan doing?  Doesn't look like he's had much of an impact on stats.  Did he start?  How does he look?

He did not start. He looks quick and has made some good plays. Hasn’t finished on some others. 

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,662]

Maybe someone on the staff will realize we can't shoot ourselves out of a porta potty and feed the 95 big dudes we got on the team. maybe a novel concept I dunno

OK, thanks.  I'm just a casual fan, but I think he's the key to our season.

[tgrogan21 6,198]

2nd half about to start. Hope that the team plays like the first 10 minutes where they kept driving inside and feeding our big guys. Got too happy with the 3 to close it out.

Bruce Pearl has rarely, if ever, reigned in an over-zealous shooting team.  I'm afraid he's not gonna do it this year either.  I think he's a bit too much of a "player's coach" in that regard.  "Let 'em shoot and have fun" seems to be his calling card.

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Great D by Broome.

Auburn tries to go inside but Broome misses.

Moore fouls on the end. GM makes 1-2.

31-25 AU

 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Zep misses the step back mid range. Offensive rebound and Williams with the bucket!

33-25 AU

BLOCK BY WILLIAMS!

BROOME DUNK!!!

35-25 AU

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Auburn doubles and Broome fouls. Can't foul when you're trying to double team like that.

Green to Moore in the corner for the 3!!!

38-27 AU.

BROOME BLOCK!

[tgrogan21 6,198]

GREEN pull-up! Love his mid range game!

40-27 AU

[e808 3,025]

Hopefully, once Westry returns some of these outside woes go away

[tgrogan21 6,198]

CARDWELL BLOCK! But Auburn loses possession and gives GM a dunk.

40-29 AU

Zep pull-up!

42-29 AU

[NoALtiger 3,850]

Great seeing Chris Moore hit that 3. Really pulling for him. 

[ShocksMyBrain 9,363]

Shooting better in the 2nd so far. 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Going to media timeout. 15:46 left and Auburn's up 42-29.

Mid-range, driving inside is the way to go for this team. We did the same thing to start the game and got out to a big lead.

Great team Defense and Jaylin steals.

And then another offense foul call on Auburn.

[gravejd 3,270]

Got too stop fouling

 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Another foul call on Auburn, this time by KD. That's 5 fouls already. Gonna be in the bonus with over 10 minutes.

Bad 3 by KD, luckily a Williams rebound. Flan miss 3 at the end of the shot clock. But Cardwell gets fouled on the rebound attempt.

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Inbound to Cardwell who passes to Williams inside and he's fouled on the attempt.

GM's best player has 4 fouls.

Williams makes both!

44-29 AU

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Cardwell with more great positioning and gets fouled going for the rebound. He's pumped up! Get him an alley-oop dunk now!

GM layup. Tre misses the layup. Cardwell block but a putback dunk by GM.

44-33 AU

Chance Westry may be the key to our season. Not going to get much offensively on the perimeter out of Moore and Flanigan. 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Tre to Traore and misses the 3 but Cardwell with the rebound. Tre inside misses the layup but Cardwell again with the rebound who passes to Traore for the dunk!

46-33 AU Edit: Media time out with 12:44 left

Cardwell has been MASSIVE keeping this lead with the starters out of the game.

Edited November 8, 2022 by tgrogan21

[gravejd 3,270]

Cardwell really playing great all around ball right now. Love his energy and really controlling himself well out there

[kennypowers 1,431]

Maybe it's the stream cutting in and out,  but we don't look very good tonight.  I am missing a lot of the game though,  so maybe I just get the bad runs.
