    Thru purple glasses, yes. It was a blatant foul and good call.

      Well a win is a win. We've been playing well, hopefully this is our letdown...

        Thoughts...

        1. It was ugly but we grinded it out and found a way to win. And a win is all that matters.

        2. Read a bunch about refs but I didn't think they were that bad. A few poor calls, actually both ways.

        3. Real problem tonight was FT shooting! Wow! It wouldn't have even been a game if we would have made FTs. Just lucky GM was just as bad from the line!

        4. Wyatt is awesome. That kid is always in the right position to make a play, whether a steal, deflection, crafty pass/shot.

        5. Bennett looked really good offensively (can really finish around the rim) and love to see him fired up! More like Adam when it comes to being vocal.

        6. Even when we play poorly, it really says something when we can sit key players for long stretches due to our depth. Both bohannon and deon played very little in second half. Our depth allows us to really play matchups and find who's got it going.

        Not pretty but it's a win and I think it will help our guys in the ling run having to fight it out against an inferior team and know they have to bring it each night but confident we can grind it out and will always be in the game if we keep playing defense.

          Coach Jake said there are always games like this that you have to grind out, and that the week off didn't benefit us. Glad we got the W, George Mason will win some games they shouldn't because of their athleticism.

          Finally Zelton Steed is the worst official ever, I cringe whenever I see him walk in

            As an official, you absolutely cannot call a foul in a situation like that (1 second left) unless it really is blatant. It was questionable at best and a ticky tack foul. I agree that the refs were bad against both teams tonight (I thought GM were on the raw end of some calls at the end of OT), but giving a team the chance to tie with 1 second left at the line on a questionable call is ludicrous. Did he get him a little bit? Possibly, but it certainly wasn't obvious or blatant. I was there, probably less than 50 feet from where the foul supposedly occurred and didn't see anything to blow a whistle at. If it's not obvious, you don't put a guy on the line in that situation. Most referees shy away from calling fouls on last second shots unless, like I said, you really see a lot of contact and it can't be ignored.

              100% agree. I also cringe when Zelton walks in the gym, But man, Don Daily the older guy really had a bad game. Inconsistent on both ends.

                Glad there's only three days until the next one, but Jake is going to have to find a cure to the week-off blues. Lots of long weeks coming up.

                  Need to bring our A-game against Denver. That game has worried me since the schedule came out. Road game mid-week in a different time zone. Plus Denver has always played us tough. Throw in the fact that we may be ranked and that gives them and their fans some extra motivation.

                    I'm concerned that we won't crack the top 25 tomorrow.

                      The ranking doesnt really even matter. once we're ranked 1 loss will likely knock us out for the remainder of the season unless we can somehow only lose 2-3 games all year (which i don't see happening). SOS is just not strong enough to support us staying in the 25 for long period unless we keep winning. Let's just worry about winning the conference title and positioning ourselves for a run to the Dance.

                        Time on the game clock shouldn't ever dictate a call. If it's a foul, it's a foul. Doesn't matter if there is 10 minutes left or 2 seconds. If it was UNI trying to score and that same play happened and a foul wasn't called, this board would have been livid.

                        There were plenty of bad calls throughout the game that negatively affected both teams both teams, but I personally feel like the call at the end of the game was the correct call. Make a few free throws during the game and that foul doesn't matter...

                          One loss will knock us out unless we only lose a few.

                            can't believe we blew a 12 point lead to these guys

                              @Denver, vs. Iowa, @VCU…

                              How many do need to win to be in posistion to get an at-large? Zero, one, two?

                              I'd say one, but I'm not sure. For sure, it we won't have a bad non-conf. loss

                                Denver is a must.

                                Split the other 2, win 12-13 league games and at least one in StL and we're in great shape.
