What does everyone think about the Bracketbusters matchups that were announced last night?

It's safe to say Mason deserved nothing better than Lamar. That's what happens when you lose to FIU and FAU. Hopefully, the CAA even on a down year OOC wise can have a good showing in Bracketbusters.

Delaware holds on for the 65-60 upset win despite 21 TO's.

Congrats on the win Millsy. Someone needs to tell Mason the game starts in the 1st half.

I thought Towson had JMU on Saturday. After being down big, you guys battled and battled during the 2nd half...great game to watch.

Huge win on the road for VCU over Odu. After playing a little sloppy and being down by double digits in the 1st half, VCU battled back and was able to pull off the tough road win. With Ga. State losing, it locked up a first-round bye for them in the CAA tournament.

O's Are Legends:I know you are probably just as hyped up for the game tomorrow as I am! It's always fun playing you guys, especially this time of year when both teams are battling for the top spot. Best of luck to you guys and here's to a great game! :beerchug1:

VCU closes out the season with a victory over Mason and heads into the CAA Tournament as the # 2 seed behind Drexel and ahead of #3 Mason and #4 ODU. Looking forward to the tournament this weekend! Anyone gonna be in Richmond for it?

I'd like to, but it's not in the cards this year. Hopefully, the conference gets two teams in, but it's not likely this year.

I wish; I'm working 16-18 hours a day for a sports tournament in Korea.

It’s time for Mason to move to the A10. At some point enough is enough with the “neutral” nonsense.

The Richmond Coliseum is just like home for us."
- Troy Daniels. VCU players admit this every year, even Shaka Smart said so last season.

In college basketball, it’s already hard to win on the road and when it’s against your biggest rival and a very good team like VCU, you are at a huge disadvantage. The crowd was insane; it’s the same story every year. I mean seriously, why don’t we build a stadium across the street of Mason’s campus where Brion’s grille is located and hold the CAA tournament there and call it a neutral court.

I don’t see VCU becoming a mediocre program anytime in the near future and the longer they keep the tournament in Richmond, the more I believe it may hurt recruiting, keeping players etc. Your goal is to make the NCAA tournament every season and if you know the moment the conference tournament starts you’re going to have to play a road game against VCU which puts your team at a huge disadvantage, why would you want to commit to a league that allows this unless you play for VCU.

Any other conference this would be made a mockery out of, the so called neutral court. In the CAA, it’s common practice, what a load of crap. This is a huge reason why I believe the CAA will never become an A10, MVC, a Mountain West type conference.

Look, I'm not gonna argue the fact that VCU has an advantage for the tourney, we do get a lot more fans there than most schools. But the tournament has been held in Richmond WAY before VCU ever joined the league.

      What were the expectations?

      And the difference with Cowser and Holliday is the team around him. Right now, our lineup is deep and talented, which allows them to let Holliday struggle through without majorly affecting the outcomes of games. Plus there really isn’t an incumbent player pushing him for time. Hays was the entrenched starter last year when Cowser came up, so the only way he was going to play in a pennant race was if he hit as he has this year. The problem with Holliday is purely this: unrealistic expectations. Give him some time. We will reap the benefits of this patience later in the season. You add his bat to what we already have?!?! Watch out!

      This should be merged into the thread in the minor league forum.   https://forum.orioleshangout.com/topic/51777-seth-johnson-2024/#comment-3104271

      Hard to look at his start as “just a slump” when factoring in his second half of last year, too.

      Aren't the Tides struggling enough already?

      Not even a platinum glove is worth that kind of abysmal production at the plate. Elias should capitalize on Hays' option and send him to Norfolk to play every day. If there's an injury to one of the OF's on the major league roster or he gets into a groove at the plate, call him back up. Give Stowers an opportunity - even just as a sparingly-used 4th OF - to reward him for multiple seasons of good production in the minors.

      Is this a serious statement?  Did we find out if Cowser was “cut out for the majors” last season when he struggled? Did we find out about Grayson last season when he struggles so much that he had to be sent down? Just curious, how long have you watched baseball? I ask because I have read several of these hyperbolic reactions when the kid hasn’t even played a full week of games and the first thing that I a think is what is this poster’s frame of reference? Have they not watched various top players/prospect struggle when first coming to the show? I don’t mean to be insulting but it get’s a little exhausting reading these type of instantaneous indictments of a 20 year-old uber-talented kid who has not found his groove after 25 ABs.
