Steal the inbound hit the three with the foul. Do it.

76-72 with the Minaya 3. Nice effort by LU. Much better than I though after that first half

[whmatthews]

I'll take the moral victory over the way I thought this game was going to end at the half.

[Rooster Cogburn]

I thought we said this team couldn't score. how bout 72!

[LUconn]

I feel pretty good about this team now. That's a good team. Young like us, but good.

[olldflame]

Minaya hits from 3 to cut the final margin to 76-72.

Good second half showing. Keep in mind we had to go OT to beat them at home last year with Smitty and Seth, and GMU is high on their team this year.

[Kolzilla41]

I agree. Can't help but be impressed with the effort.

[Stevev]

George Mason is very tough to beat in there own building. Very proud of our effort!

[Rooster Cogburn]

absolutely great stuff from such a young tyeam. I love the different looks Layer put in with the subs. I am excited. Could still be kinda rough, but it will be fun.

[ALAFlamesFan]

30 points in the paint!

I didn't see that coming.

[olldflame]

In post game Layer raved about Evan Gordon's defense in the second half.

[ballah09]

i didnt get to see the game but how did we look?

George Mason is a very good team so 76-72 looks good esp away.

[Stevev]

Stephene and Weaver didn't play at all

[Rooster Cogburn]

Not sure why those 2 didn't playh, but we have a ton of good guards. This will be very interesting. If we don't play like poo in the first half, then we win that game.

[SuperJon]

Stephene and Weaver didn't play at all

Johnny's still not full healthy. He'll be back pretty soon.

Was that College of Charleston Coastal beat? That would be a surprise.

[kingaling42]

Yes- Coastal beat College of Charleston

[SuperJon]

Was that College of Charleston Coastal beat? That would be a surprise.

Yeah, they beat CofC.

The Big South fared pretty well tonight.

[LUconn]

They play Winthrop next. That should make for some fun comparisons.

[GMUAlum]

Good game fellas. I wish we'd have had our team captain and best player in Cam Long for the 2nd half, but I'm sure you'd like a certain Freshman from last year who killed us.

Yeah, Bill is a homer but that's what they're paid to do. They're excited because we really aren't sure what we had in this team. We traded three starting Seniors off last year's squad for 4 Sophomores, 7 Freshman and just one Senior this year.

Someone mentioned we're tough in our building and that's true. Just one loss in the past two years and that on a buzzer-beater. Good luck the rest of the year and let's keep each others RPIs up.

[Chris Lang]

Hey, if any of the Radford people check this thread, why didn't Amir Johnson and Lazar play tonight?

[kingaling42]

Lazar broke his non shooting hand/wrist is out 4-6 weeks or something like that..

Amir- ???

[SuperJon]

Their people are saying Amir is suspended the first two games for his off-season activities.
