They nail the 3 coming out of the time out. 25-21 GMU.

Moving screen on us.

They get an easy lay up. 27-21 GMU.

Foul on GMU.

Chene and Jesse in the game at the same time. Interesting.

JC drives and misses.

GMU misses a 3 in transition. We get the ball.

Jesse misses a tough layup.

They're running out. 33-23 GMU.

We are shooting 37% from the field and 55.6% from the FT line.

Chris just tweeted that Evan was "perfectly healthy." He isn't playing that well and seems to be going through the motions this half.

I like JVP...he continues to get better each game. The Sanders boys and JB showed up but that was about it. I still think we are a good team and fun to watch but if this game shows one thing it is that we need to continue to upgrade talent. Heart can only get you so far...

And we don't need our best player mouthing off to the coach and then going through the motions the rest of the game after being benched.

Perhaps this game could have gotten within 10 if we weren't shooting circus shots...

What an embarrassment. What happened to the defense? They were shooting such a high percentage because nobody was contesting their shots. There was absolutely NO perimeter defense. It started with a bad lineup about midway through the 1st half and then just continued the rest of the game. Although to be fair, I don't know if in the 2nd half it was actually bad defense or just lack of effort.

I don't understand why McMasters didn't get any meaningful PT. We were down by 30+ in the middle of the 2nd half. Get the guy some time against some decent bigs. Especially when we have guys like Chene (different position I know) filling up the stat sheet with numbers like 14 minutes 0 points 4 fouls. Man, I was so optimistic after a great start. What a kick in the pants.

Props to the student section too. I always mention when the suck so I'll give them credit tonight. A lot showed up, and 1 section was pretty vocal to the end. Not entirely sure why they were wearing black though. I hope they come back.

I noticed the same thing in the first half. They were really, really into it but were wearing black. I'll take students being there and being into it regardless of the color they wear. It doesn't matter what they're wearing if they aren't there.
