    Very small lineup GMU throws out there. Expecting them to spread the floor and try and use a lot of ball screens and backcuts and plays through the high post. They've shot it the best thus far from three at 38.7% but have a below average percentage on the season.

    Defensively, they are currently the worst in league defense at 114.1 points per 100 possesions. Staple of Dave Paulsen teams at Bucknell and now Mason are hard to get offensive boards against but some of the lowest turnover rates in all of the nation. I suspect the high two point percentage against is due to lack of size. Seems like they sag in the lane and are susceptible to the three as well at least watching some of this

    Hoping for a large crowd (by AJP standards) and that the Dukes get back on track on both ends of the floor. The way the league is shaping up, we need to protect the home court and getting the win tomorrow feels like a must.

    This is definitely a must game. Lose here, and reaching our modest goals will begin to be difficult. After all, if you can't beat GM at home, then no home game except Fordham can be counted as a sure win.

    Tomorrow's Crowd:  Penguins are away, Pitt bball is away, Robert Morris is away.  The Steelers have gone away.  If we don't have close to 2,800 tomorrow I will be extremely disappointed.

    Agree. Looking forward to the game but also what I think ( hope) will be a loud, enthusiastic atmosphere.

    Looking forward to being able to see this game on tv today from Columbus. The A 10 has a pretty good tv deal, all things considered.

    Sloppy sloppy sloppy. Should be up by much more. 13 turnovers? Not good.

    This is ridiculous. free throw shooting is going to cost us another game. No killer instinct.

    Whew.  Great efforts by Tydus and Williams.  Dukes hang tough in the A-10.
