Baylor/Ole Miss play in the other semi-final.

George Mason (2-3, KenPom #150) will consider themselves unlucky to come into this match-up with a losing record after losing nail biters against Penn and American in their opening two home games.

In their most recent game against North Carolina Central, they led by 20+ in the second half before winning 78-63.

George Mason returns everybody from last season's 16-17 team that also went 9-9 in the A-10. They play a 8-man rotation but with no one over 6-7 and 7 players averaging between 8-12 ppg.

Interesting.. Sounds like they should be better than what their record shows. What's our KenPom ranking?

Who do we want to see Ole Miss or Baylor? Not as an easier path standpoint but which team would be more of a challenge and better kenpom rankings?

Both teams were predicted to finish towards the bottom of their respective conferences.

Baylor already has a bad loss on their slate (72-69 to Texas Southern). Ole Miss lost at Butler recently but beat Western Michigan 90-64 in their first game of the year.

Both teams beat Nicholls State by 20+.

Thanks. I personally want to play Baylor due to their name and conference, but Ole Miss might be better. You can't lose to Texas Southern at home.

Yeah, he has a couple bad turnovers tonight. Made a nice cut, then threw the ball away.

Also, gotta give credit to Broome. Our offense has been stagnent tonight with Jenifer in the game. But our offense has been better with Broome, he has done a nice job of scoring and distributing.

Put the Broome debate officially to rest.

Little surprised in the zone we have been playing...

Half court offense still looks rough.

Tempo. Tempo. Tempo.

O and... cane is great

there has to be more to our offense than everybody stand and wait for cumberland or broome to take on the defense alone. its too hard on those 2 if thats all we do.

True, but I'd rather them 2 shoot the bulk of our shots.

Why expect anything different? This is Micks “offense”

Same offense every year. How can anyone be shocked

 

[TheLivingLegend]

These offensive sets are a joke

 

[cincrulz11]
