There are many reasons to not watch George Mason compete in the 2017 CBI Tournament. For starters, the NCAA Tournament and the NIT happening at the same time. No real need to go on.

Here are three reasons though to be thrilled about the Patriots playing in one of the lower postseason tournaments:

  1. It gives seniors, Marquise Moore, Jalen Jenkins, and Myles Tate a chance to play in a postseason tournament for the first time.
  2. The young sophomores and freshmen (11 on the roster) get the experience of playing in the postseason and playing together.
  3. Another chance to see a really fun George Mason basketball team

Not only is it a chance for George Mason (20-13, 9-9 Atlantic 10) to celebrate a successful season for the first time in quite a while, but the Patriots have a legitimate shot at winning the whole thing. Taking a look at the rest of the tournament field, George Mason and George Washington are on a collision course to the semi-finals. Earlier in the season, George Washington swept the Patriots 2-0. The Colonials are also the only other Atlantic 10 team in the 16 team tournament.

There are also five teams in the tournament with sub-.500 records, with three of them being in Mason’s section of the bracket.

Back in the 2012-13 season, the Green and Gold made it to the championship before losing to Santa Clara in a best-of-three game series. Only member of the current roster on the team was Jenkins who was red-shirting.

ENTER THE GIANTKILLER NCAA TOURNAMENT CHALLENGE

Before looking at another championship run in the CBI, in the First Round they have to face Loyola (15-16, 8-10 Patriot). A team that Dave Paulsen has plenty of experience playing against because of his days back at Bucknell. In his final season with the Bison, his squad swept the Greyhounds by double-digits in both games.

Loyola has two post players, Jarred Jones and Cam Gregory, that will look to dominate offensively with only Jenkins as Mason’s true post player.

Their deep ball will not be a huge threat as shooting 33 percent from behind the arc on the season. Therefore the Patriots will be able to continue and pack the paint with bodies like they have all season.

Junior guard, Andre Walker, is the team’s leading scorer with 15.7 points per game. He also is just short of four assists a contest. Likely that will be the responsibility of Otis Livingston II for a majority of the game, height-wise that is the best matchup.

LAST GAME: VCU ABLE TO HOLD OFF MASON FOR A THIRD TIME

Marquise Moore will have the chance to build on Mason’s single season rebounding record which currently stands at 360. In his two Atlantic 10 tournament contests he was averaging 18 boards a game. It will also be a chance to get his incredible 21 double-double on the year.

While the Patriots will not necessarily need their 3pt game going in this contest, the Green and Gold desperately need to find their stroke again. Over the last four contests, Mason is at 21 percent from behind the arc. Starters like Livingston and Jaire Grayer could benefit from a game like this to find their mark again. Otherwise the Patriots will not be able to rely on Kamari Newman and Ian Boyd off of the bench to make a tournament run.

#MasonRecords:

Overall Points:
Marquise Moore (1,269) is 46 points away from Erik Herring for 20th all-time.

    # 10 Steroid Cycles For Different Goals

    ## What Steroids
    Steroids are synthetic substances that mimic
    the effects of hormones produced by the body, particularly androgens and
    estrogens. They are often used in bodybuilding to enhance muscle growth, fat
    loss, strength, and overall athletic performance. While
    they can be effective, their misuse can lead to serious health risks, including hormonal
    imbalances, liver damage, and other side effects.

    ## Steroid Cycles for Different Goals (Newbie, Bulking, Cutting, Strength)
    Steroid cycles refer to the specific period during which
    an individual uses a particular steroid or combination of steroids.
    The choice of cycle depends on the user’s goal, such as bulking, cutting, or
    improving strength. Below are some common steroid cycles tailored for different objectives.

    —

    ## Anabolic Steroids
    Anabolic steroids are synthetic derivatives of testosterone that promote muscle growth and
    fat loss by mimicking the body’s natural anabolic processes.
    They are among the most widely used performance-enhancing drugs in bodybuilding circles.

    —

    ## Steroid Cycles for Different Goals (Newbie, Bulking, Cutting, Strength)
    – **Newbie Cycle**:
    For individuals new to steroid use, a common starting point is a mild steroid like Anavar or Testosterone.
    This cycle helps users understand how steroids work without risking severe side effects.

    – **Bulking Cycle**:
    Bulking steroids like Dianabol and Anadrol are designed to promote
    muscle growth by increasing protein synthesis and enhancing nitrogen retention. These compounds are often used in combination with other steroids for better results.

    – **Cutting Cycle**:
    Cutting steroids, such as Winstrol and Clenbuterol,
    are used to shed body fat while maintaining muscle
    mass. They work by burning fat and increasing metabolic rate, making
    them popular among bodybuilders preparing for competition.

    – **Strength Cycle**:
    Steroids like Anadrol and Testosterone are often used in strength-focused cycles
    to improve power output and muscle density. These compounds enhance the body’s ability to produce force and recover from intense
    training sessions.

    —

    ## How Important Is Cycling?
    Cycling steroids is essential for achieving the desired effects while minimizing harm.

    Using steroids continuously can lead to hormonal imbalances, liver damage, and other health
    issues. Proper cycling also helps in avoiding receptor desensitization, which can reduce the effectiveness of steroids
    over time.

    —

    ## Other Related Patterns of Steroid Usage
    – **Professional Use**: Athletes and bodybuilders often use
    steroids in a regulated manner to enhance performance without risking disqualification or health complications.

    – **Recreational Use**: Some individuals use steroids for aesthetic purposes
    or personal satisfaction, despite the potential
    risks.
    – **Medical Use**: In some cases, steroids are used
    medicinally to treat conditions like hypogonadism or muscle wasting associated with diseases like HIV/AIDS.

    —

    ## Steroid Cycles for Different Groups
    ### Newbie Steroid Cycles
    – **Anavar Only Cycle**:
    Anavar (Oxandrolone) is a mild anabolic steroid that’s ideal for beginners.
    It’s effective for both cutting and bulking, with minimal side effects like acne and hair loss.

    – **Testosterone Only Cycle**:
    Testosterone is the most fundamental anabolic steroid. A solo cycle can help users achieve
    significant muscle gain and strength without the need for multiple compounds.

    —

    ### Bulking Steroid Cycles
    – **Dianabol Only Cycle**:
    Dianabol (Methandrostenolone) is one of the most popular steroids for bulking.

    It’s known for its ability to increase muscle mass and enhance nitrogen retention, making it a
    favorite among bodybuilders.

    – **Anadrol Only Cycle**:
    Anadrol (Oxymetholone) is another powerful bulking steroid that quickly adds muscle size.
    However, it’s more potent than Dianabol and carries a higher risk of side effects like hepatotoxicity.

    – **Anadrol and Deca Cycle**:
    Combining Anadrol with Deca-Durabolin (Nandrolone Decanoate) creates a
    powerful bulking stack. Deca provides endurance and muscle growth, while
    Anadrol boosts strength and size.

    – **Anadrol and Test Cycle**:
    The Anadrol-Testosterone cycle is popular for its ability
    to build mass and strength. Testosterone ensures sustained growth, while Anadrol accelerates muscle gain during the cycle.

    —

    ### Cutting Steroid Cycles
    – **Winstrol Only Cycle**:
    Winstrol (Stanozolol) is a versatile steroid that can be used for cutting or bulking.
    It’s particularly effective for hardening muscle and reducing
    body fat, making it a favorite among athletes.

    – **Winstrol and Trenbolone Cycle**:
    Combining Winstrol with Trenbolone (Trenbolone Acetate) creates a potent cutting stack.
    Both compounds work synergistically to burn fat while maintaining or even increasing muscle mass.

    – **Proviron and Winstrol Cycle**:
    Proviron (Mesterolone) is often used in combination with Winstrol
    for cutting cycles. It helps reduce estrogen levels, which
    can otherwise limit the effectiveness of anabolic steroids.

    —

    ## Conclusion
    Choosing the right steroid cycle depends on your fitness goals, experience
    level, and risk tolerance. While steroids can be highly effective, they come
    with significant risks to health and well-being.
    Always prioritize safety, legality, and ethical use when considering steroid usage.
