Re: 3/6 | George Mason | 7:00PM (ESPN+)
I'm just curious, but am guessing that all those that want to "keep dubs" probably wish we still had Bassy. Those guys are just not NCAAs or Bust players, and it seems like everyone championing those guys is settling for "less than NCAAs or Bust"...just my opinion. Agree. I give...

Re: 3/6 | George Mason | 7:00PM (ESPN+)
Giant fan, I agree. Aside, we will need someone to run the team until Ben gets his feet wet. Love Lou, but he’s way too slow to stick with A10 guards. I’d rather we land a defensive point guard. I also want to see Cam take on a bigger role next year. I don’t think we bring back House and Luis. If I...

Re: 3/6 | George Mason | 7:00PM (ESPN+)
Speaking of potential retirees… Personally, I like Louis. He is one of the very few with any sack on the team. Could be a good locker room guy if he stays. Unfortunately, I think he doesn’t have the talent or quickness to be more than a backup at this level at best. It is probably best for him - fr...
