Stewart and Silas’ Status For The Tourney

Mason beat us in DC, a home game for them.

This is kind of like the tic-tac-toe chicken. When someone loses there are the excuses like “well he plays all the time “ or “ he got to go first” but the reality is that you lost to a chicken! There are NO acceptable excuses for losing to George Mason just as there are none for losing to Furman!

They outmuscled us as I remember.

And outquicked us. We couldn't guard anyone one-on-one. MW was too slow to guard their point guard (Tony Skinn, their current coach), Denham and Rashad couldn't stay with their shooter, Rudy didn't have the foot speed to handle their 6-4 wing, their long-armed PF could score over Hilton and their beefy center got what he wanted on Josh.

But fortunately that game was imaginary and never actually happened. It all started when there was this goofy Sports Illustrated April Fools Day cover with George Mason on it, sorta like the old Sidd Finch one, and, just like the Finch story, a lot of people genuinely thought it was real. Folks can be so gullible.

Anyone else wondering why we haven't heard anything on Silas' MRI?

Mad suspicious, I’m thinking we won’t see Silas on Friday and it has me a little worried. I don’t blame the team for being quiet, want the other team to need to gameplan for everything

Yah that was my thought too unfortunately
 
Obviously would rather Silas, but if there’s one game Mali could thrive, it’s this one. I have utmost confidence he can get it done vs Furman.

I wonder if they had the reading back by the time of the Selection Show.

Hurley had a positive update on Silas Demary Jr.’s ankle injury, which was described as a “very minor sprain,” after he had to be carried off the court and into the locker room with three and a half minutes left in Saturday’s game. Demary’s X-ray came back negative, his father reported, and he appeared to be walking normally, without a boot, as the team crossed Jim Calhoun Way to view the selection show from the football facility.

“I think Silas is in pretty good shape,” Hurley said.

Thing is no detail about the MRI aside from saying it’s “a very minor sprain”. Hearing he was walking normally is pretty relieving because I feel like the day after the injury if it was serious he’d be limping. But Hurley saying he thinks he’s in pretty good shape was the broad generalization that concerned me.

Maybe he’s being tight lipped to give this air of cover-up, so on Friday night when Silas suits up and hits warm up hard, Furman fills their diapers instantly
 
I don't think there is any surprise here. He will play.

The bar I was in Arlington at the time never happened? The crowd in there was going crazy as I slunk under the table. . Thank heavens that was just a nightmare and not real.

Yep, it was hard to be here in NOVA that season...

One game at a time is the only way to play the tournament, but George Mason’s regular season in ‘06 placed them about 100 teams better on the NET or similar rankings than this year’s Furman. Yes, we should have beaten Mason but they made it to the Regional Finals before beating us for a reason — they were a good team.

Denham Brown. Denham “‘last shot” Brown.

Not only was I never there also — I have no other explanation why it was a solid ten years after March of ‘06 before I could hear Living on a Prayer being played and not walk out of the room. Even at weddings.

I was also never there.

Never count your chickens before they hatch! Not sure if you remember but years ago we played a huge underdog named George Mason. It didn’t go so well! One game at a time please!!

Stop it. That was in the dark ages when the committee didn't know squat about half the teams and used the garbage RPI. Despite being an 11 seed, they finished #22 in KenPom and likely were good enough to be a 5 or 6 seed. And by the time you get to the elite eight, at least, seeding is out the window. Teams have already won 3 games by that time. George Mason had beaten Michigan State (27), UNC (11), and Wichita State (26) by the time they got to UConn.

Furman is #195.

He was not carried off the court. They showed him jogging down the tunnel back to the locker room.

I remember thinking in the second half the solution was to play with one big and let Rudy play the 4, but whether to protect his NBA career or otherwise you could count on one hand the minutes Calhoun let Rudy play the 4 that year.

I think it was just being old fashioned, ran into playing double bigs too much during Drummond's lone year as well

George Mason had two guys about 6’ 7” that muscled us down low all game. They each had their way with whichever Husky was guarding them.
