GMU game thread - we win at home

We got good transfers coming off an NCAA appearance and win, and we suck. I doubt we will get BETTER transfers coming off this disaster of a season.
Once they hear about our sellout crowds we’ll be getting All-Americans in no time

1. bottom 2 or 3 most likely
2. due to #1 we might actually be able to fulfill preseason projections!
3. can't imagine a scenario where we lose Tyler and get any better, so I say lower
4. 🤣🤣🤣
I don't blame Grace or Burton for that last play. just unfortunate. that spin move is fine if Burton isn't coming to get the ball. Burton coming to get the ball is fine if Grace doesn't spin. team fought back from a big hole. the game was lost earliler when we dug that hole.
nobody played very well. Goose was probably player of the game ... and he had 8 points.

I wouldn't call it unfortunate, unfortunate is when you have an accident or a one time occurrence. This is a pattern at the end of games. If we need a stop, we will give up a bucket or foul someone. If we need a bucket, we will miss or have a turnover.
The only end of game situation that worked out for us this year was Duquesne and that was off of a busted play when Tyler fell down. If Tyler doesn't fall and mess up our Mooney's designed play, we lose that one too.
I would imagine most fans expect us to fail in those situations because that is all we seem to know how to do. Has to be in the players minds as well, kind of bit like muscle memory.

Well, at least it's a good thing that we are now onto the conference tournament portion of the season, because as we all know, there are never any close games in those, so we should be totally fine.
Just remember, all that matters is our SRS over the past 5 years 4 years (must not include '19) compared to our teams from the 70s.

1.04.
Not quite as bad as the recent 20-loss seasons or Mooney's first few years, but obviously not very good.

I am waiting for this season to get to 6.1.04.

Maybe 12 more wins would do it?
agreed we haven't been good at end-of-game situations. we don't have a go-to that we're good at.
I'm just saying the timing of Grace's spin move and Burton's cut to the ball was unfortunate. I don't know if there was a set play called, or if we were just playing basketball there.
Unfortunately in a season like we’ve had, that end of game mistake shouldn’t be a surprise. In close end of game final seconds we’ve failed too many times.
