2024-25 Non-Conference Schedule

[PGsHeroes32]

Not surprising. I thought GMU looked like a pretty good team.

Won by 38. I think the opening line was 14.5

So that definitely wont hurt their metrics

George Mason pasting Stony Brook at half

And Central Michigan lost to Stony Brook by 1.  So much for the transitive property.

[DoctorV]

Why's everyone upset about flosports? Anyone who truly cares about MU would have subscribed to support our other sports teams.

It's expensive but 3 months a year to watch the WVB and other teams when they're good plus Connaught rugby is worth it.

I'm sure this is foreign for most of us but I'll dive in.

Imagine spending 30 bucks and getting the product we saw tonight. Most folks on a budget would be ticked.
I assume the other sports are women's volleyball and Rugby of the Connaught variety, which I'll need clarification on.

I'll go on a limb to say 95% of MU fans on here, avid sports fans, don't watch a single women's volleyball or rugby game all year, or in the last 5 years. I'm not insulting those sports, and I'm sure they are awesome when you get into them, but it's just not a thing if I'm not mistaken.

The rugby house on campus threw some elite ass parties so count me in to support everything rugby, for the record

I was just being a bit sarcastic. Personally any MU team that's decent I'll watch and try to get into. Your mileage may vary.

CMU up 3 at half on George Mason

CMU up 3 at half on George Mason

North Carolina in Record Comeback over Dayton 92-90 – University of North Carolina – November 25, 2024

LAHAINA, HAWAI'I – The win ties the second-largest comeback in Tar Heel history, matching a 21-point, second-half effort against Florida State on January 27, 1993, in Chapel Hill.


For those of you who did not see the game, the Officials seemed determined in the second half to make sure that North Carolina did not suffer the same fate as UConn as few hours earlier, with many, many questionable calls going against the Flyers, who were a 9½-point underdog. This one is going to sting for a long time.

Box Score: #12 North Carolina 92, Dayton 90 - ESPN – November 25, 2024

Dayton free-throw shooting:  12-15 (80.0%)
UNC free-throw shooting:  27-34 (79.4%)

You said you weren't posting until game day.  Are you a liar?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

You got up early after staying up to 2 local time to watch your team blow a 21 point lead just so you can post this on a future opponents message board? Yeesh

[tower912]

I admire the dedication.  How much caffeine was involved?

[Fieldhouse Flyer]

You got up early after staying up to 2 local time to watch your team blow a 21 point lead ...

My point, as you deliberately missed, is that the 21 point lead was not blown, but rather was deliberately taken away by the game officials with devastating consequences. It happens to all college basketball teams occasionally (which is part of the excitement of college basketball), but it stings when countless Tarheel charging fouls are called as defensive fouls on Flyers. Some were not even close.

I'm no basketball coach, but my suggestion would be for Dayton to stop fouling their opponents.

Occasionally? Happens ALL the time. The refs share a code that the mafia has used for centuries-omerta. The penalty for violating omerta is death. There was a quick meeting during halftime, and they agreed that it would be really, really bad if Dayton won. The Referee Mafia gave the game to NC.

[zcg2013]

Imagine posting on an opponent's board about blowing a historic lead and then trying to justify it by blaming the refs.

Might as well blame Santos for having too big of feet as well.

[Fieldhouse Flyer]

You said you weren't posting until game day.  Are you a liar?

Yes, I definitely said that. I changed my mind after I saw how many knowledgeable and dedicated Warriors fans posted here. You have a very good MB compared to many I've seen, and let's face it, you guys are a good laugh. Whether or not that makes me a liar is somewhat subjective under such circumstances.

Last night's game had a lot of déjà vu for the Flyer faithful. To wit:

Box Score: #12 North Carolina 92, Dayton 90 - ESPN – November 25, 2024

Dayton free-throw shooting:  12-15 (80.0%)
UNC free-throw shooting:  27-34 (79.4%)

Box Score: Creighton 91, Dayton 90 / 2OT - ESPN – at Creighton – November 26, 2005

Dayton free-throw shooting:  12-15 (80.0%)
Creighton free-throw shooting:  26-36 (72.2%)
Nate Funk's free-throw shooting:  15-18 83.3%)

Coach Brian Gregory noticed during the game that one game official awarded Nate Funk 16 of his 18 free-throw attempts, and enquiries were made about that official.  It was established that the official was Nate Funk's uncle on his mother's side, and he was required by rules to recuse himself from officiating any games involving Creighton. He clearly didn't. It was reported that the University of Dayton lodged a formal complaint about the situation, but nothing else about it was ever published.

That game – 19 years ago today – still stings.

BTW, Nate Funk played only 6 games in the 2005-06 season, and attempted a total of 30 free-throws for the entire season, with 16 of those free-throws awarded by his uncle against Dayton. In 4 of his 6 games, Nate attempted 3 or fewer FTs.

The correct response to everyone making fun of you for posting a long-winded re-cap of an (irrelevant to MUBB) Dayton loss is definitely to write another long-winded re-cap of an even more irrelevant Dayton loss. Good job!
