[QUOTE="ilovetheoption, post: 315266, member: 1414"] And, just to elaborate, GMU hoops was SUCH a good thing under Larranaga. It was really this sense of community that NoVa tends to lack, that this was OUR team. Not DC's team. Not Richmond's team. Mason was for the 703. And Larranaga did it with kids from close by, with fat kids, and slow kids, and scrappy mean kids who weren't as talented but wanted it more, and when we beat Michigan State, and UNC, and UCONN to make the final four with those kind of kids, you could feel a change in the area. We had something that was ours, and it was real. And then the virus showed up and just completely trashed it, with his slicky boy suits, and trying to recruit one and done 5 star 6'7 wings, and leaving us with a roster that looked GREAT in warmups, but couldn't play a lick. Just 180 degrees from everything L had built. Now the patriot center (I refuse to call it eagle bank arena) is dead, and empty, and it's really a bummer. I like the new coach, and I think he'll do a good job, but what larranaga had built, and had become self-sustaining has been killed, and I honestly doubt it'll ever get back the way it was. [/QUOTE]
