for anyone who was overly impressed by win over george mason, two things from tonight should bring you back to earth:

1. colgate lost in cotterell to cornell, who was an almost unanimous pick for last in the ivy.

2. george mason lost by double digits to mercer.

Mercer beat Duke 2 years ago in the NCAA tournament. They only beat GM by 9 last night. The Cornell game was a crazy double overtime game that had a very good crowd. Support this team, don't be a dick.

Agreed. There is no reason to be a dick and start the season with negativity. Promising freshmen and transfers, entertaining game, 800 or so supportive fans, tough comeback loss. C'mon, fans. Keep the faith. This team will be okay.

Agreed! The team deserves better commentary than this meanness. Does anyone think it's clever or productive?

So... Don't be a dick. Simple as that.

And how is what Mercer did two years ago - with five senior starters - relevant to their weaker team now?

Two years ago they were 27-9, with the five seniors starting. Last year they were 19-16 vs an average schedule playing in a very weak league.


Bbw, it is possible to support the team and be objective at the same time.

Will ZZZZ concede that the George Mason win was a good one?

It was an exciting game and the crowd got into it. Colgate looks like it has some promising players on the team. Maybe they will make some noise in the PL.

Positive comments. That's what I like to hear. I agree. The young guys are promising and I have not seen so much young talent here the team makes noise this year in the PL remains to be seen, but next year? I'm encouraged and I hope this week's crowd vs Cornell repeats itself. Lots of students, lots of energy, and the fans applauded the team as they left the court. I like it!
