GMU has had an up and down season like ourselves... Keep playing with the same heart we did in the last 12 minutes or so of the VCU and we have a good chance of getting a road victory before coming home for 2 in a row.

Game is at 7 PM on Wednesday and will be shown on Spectrum.

Starting Lineup:
G 4 Otis Livingston II 5’11” 170 JR Linden, NJ
G 1 Justin Kier 6’4” 183 SO Grottoes, VA
G 5 Jaire Grayer 6’5” 200 JR Flint, MI
F 0 Goanar Mar 6’7” 195 FR Mankato, MN
F 33 Greg Calixte 6’8” 230 FR Mount Vernon, NY

Livingston is their best player, as we know, averaging 16.9 Points 3.2 rebounds 4.5 assists a night. Grayer has had a solid year as well at 13.5 PPG.

Play with Heart and Work Together.

Go UD!

Livingston is the kind of lightening quick guard who could go off big on us. I would think they will have him straight line drive to the basket early in the game to try to get whoever is guarding him in foul trouble. Don't be surprised to see Crutcher or J. Davis on the bench with two fouls within the first 6-8 minutes.

Yeah, they did not turn the corner this year, his third year there, not a good sign for them. They actually got significantly worse this year.

If you are not watching this game, you are lucky. May be the worst half we have played this year. The last thirteen minutes were bad offense, poor shooting and atrocious defense and rebounding. We are losing the boards 19-13. Shooting 36% and allowing 48%.

All this against one of the weakest looking teams we have played this year.

I bet if you check late Friday or Saturday some tickets will magically be turned in. They typically call a sell out when they still have a couple hundred tickets left. After tonight's performance, I don't think waiting until Saturday for a ticket would be a problem.

I really don’t think they have quit, though to say they were low energy is an understatement. It’s a team that is very light on talent, and the few guys who are capable had nothing tonight. Looks more like a team that is simply lost when it comes to understanding what kind of a team they need to be in order to have a shot.

I'm guessing something to the effect of..."a team takes on the personality of its coach. Regardless of talent or skill, we only play those who work super hard, like my dishwasher, it works hard. Finally, I would like to point out that all that time I sunk into XW, Kostas, and MS early in the year has really paid off, as they now are really motivated and really get our system. As you can easily see, it's allowed me to develop a deeper rotation, and hence not have our starters get worn out over the duration of this most difficult A-10 schedule. This in turn has enabled us to steadily improve our defense throughout the year."

....or maybe not.
