The unofficial online home for fans of the Old Dominion University Monarchs. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

I will be there. The alumni pre-game social is at Red Hot and Blue on Chain Bridge Road.

He was shooting to make it and go to overtime. They got so lucky. That said, we need to bring our A game to Fairfax. They'll be looking at us like we were looking at VCU. Is the game on TV?

Duh! My bad. Thanks for setting me straight. I must have partied too hard last night.

He may have been shooting to make it--but not to go to OT, but to give them a 3 point lead.

And honestly, only Deadspin said he missed on purpose.

Never mind all of this foolishness and make the easy 3 hour trip to the Patriot Center to see the next Monarch victory.

Based upon the linked video of the Hail Mary shot, there ought to be plenty of good seats available.

But unfortunately, a weeknight game is not good for travel.

Where do the Mason fans have their chat boards now? A quick google search found nothing.

What a sorry thread! GMU mbb really has taken a nosedive, apparently far worse than what we experienced.

Thanks. That is what I was looking for.

So far, GMU has won 2 our of 6 games (33.33%) if this trend continues, they will win 9-10 games. So, pretty bad, but not as bad as what we experienced.

But, if we consider that game a fluke, and they should've won only 1 out of 6 games ( 16.66%), then they'll win 4-5 games, which is on par to what we experienced.

But, at this point in the schedule, we had 1 win, and our 2nd one didn't come until our 12th game. Having 2 now means they'll probably end up on the better side of my predictions, so probably 8-10 wins to end the year if things continue to progress as they have.

Yeah. I couldn't read all the posts over there. They were depressing me too much.

I don't expect Bacote to have the game he had against VCU, but if he can consistently bring even a shadow of his former self, we will be very tough to defend.

I read this from over there.

"Our highs have been much higher than their highs, and our current low is still much higher than their recent low.

They have chosen to run with football with basketball as an afterthought. They will never again be where they were under Blaine, simple as that.

But we'll be back."

Okay....

Time for Ross to emcee the block party again!



Loved that odubleedblue segment.

I guess those a$$wipes have forgotten the SEVEN straight years they finished last or tied for last in the CAA.

One Final Four over a decade ago and you'd think they invented basketball. At least we won games in Post Season last year. I happened to present when they lost to last place Fordham in the A10 Tournament last year. It was REALLY bad basketball.

Anyone find where we can watch the game??

Gmu fans have a very warped sense of reality.

They were bottom feeders for nearly a decade.

We've never been consistently bad for anywhere near that long.

Our head to head record against them is also a complete, one sided beatdown.

Gmu is on the fast track back to being an rpi drain while we are a program on the rise.

Plus their "campus", if you want to call it that, is a total dumpster fire of nothingness.

And we have football.

But other than all that, gmu is great.

You have obviously never been on that campus in years if ever. They have more unused land than ODU's entire campus, most of it nicely forested. Yes they have large parking lots. But the rest of the campus is great. They've been on a building spree the last decade+ the likes of which ODU has never seen.

Cool maybe you should have gone to school there then.

It's a suburb school with a suburb campus with nothing fun to do in the immediate vicinity.
