Another road trip, another loss

Every road game seems to go exactly the same. Mason is down big early, battles back in the second, maybe takes the lead for a while but eventually loses. Usually by missed free-throws or a sloppy defensive effort late in the game. This one may have been different for Mason if they could hit ANY free-throws. Mason shot the ball better and out-rebounded Delaware, while also scoring numerous points off turnovers. Yet it's the little things that killed them. Monroe had a monster game scoring a career-high 27 and grabbing 11 boards but again, missed some huge free-throws. John Vaughan being scoreless in the first half didn't help the situation and Cam Long was quiet til late as well. Mason was 0-for-9 from behind the arch. Really? The Blue Hens nailed 11 threes while shooting over 40% from there. Ryan Pearson playing only 6 minutes is bad news for Mason. What happened there? If your a fan it's hard to even get mad after another loss like this. The way they are lossing on the road is no longer shocking because they keep doing the same things wrong. What's different about this loss though is that it may very well keep the Patriots from having a first round bye in the CAA tournament. Ouch. Anyone excited for Saturday?
