VCU Game Thread at the Stu- 4pm Sat ESPNU/ESPN+ (?)

[brooklyn brownstone]

Is this game indeed on ESPN+? Or only broadcast on ESPNU and available on plus for the replay?

 

[SpiderRick]

Bigelow is the key IMO. He's been a horse on rebounds and can jump through the roof. I think VCU has matchup problems with Bigelow. We need scoring from him too if King is off. I would love to see Bigs hit his first two 3 pointers and then slam home a dunk, when he starts fast he normally has a solid game.

All games you want to win, some you hate to lose. Time to shear the lambs, go Spiders!

 

[KE Spider]

We enjoy a significant mismatch in the post. Quinn is due to get out of his shooting funk. May it be today!

Stay out of foul trouble, Big Guy and give it to em.

Not seeing the game listed on Upcoming for ESPN+, so assuming it is only via ESPNU and a cable provider is needed for live viewing if you don't have ESPN or normal cable.

Charlette and ECU still going on, looks to run into our time. They usually put the start somewhere else, say tuned.

 

[SFspidur]

I see it in the upcoming section, and UR’s site indicates it should be available. But I’ve given up trusting anything until it actually happens.

 

[fan2011]

I see the game in the ESPN+ app as well

 

[urfan1]

Barstow out, JNel gets the start.

 

[urfan1]

vcu fan on ramnation, UR turnout not bad, expected worse

 

[SFspidur]

Looks like we’re a go on ESPN+. Feed is up with the event about to start stuff.

 

[urfan1]

starting on =

 

[brooklyn brownstone]

Anything? Just seeing about to start

 

[brooklyn brownstone]

Got it

 

[urmite]

And there we go

+ not = (shift)

 

[SFspidur]

Here we go. Watching this on a giant screen inside my Apple Vision Pro.

 

[urfan1]

Shulga has right shoulder taped up

 

[SFspidur]

VCU was ready for their Super Bowl.

 

[Gallipoli]

We have come out flat, again. Down 6-0.

 

[Dr. Spidey]

Phantom foul on Bigelow. Didn’t touch Fermin, the weakest link.

 

[urfan1]

we will settle down

 

[urmite]

I think we need a Dayton first half about now…

 

[gospidersgo]

Both of King's misses were close, they will start to fall

 

[whampas]

Another slow start. Need to turn it into a rock fight. We just don't get calls on Broad Street.

 

[fatherspider]

Why do so many UR games start off with the team being cold? Home/away. It doesnt matter.

 

[SpiderGuy]

Need to take into paint. 3 possesions down to shot clock.

 

[Dr. Spidey]

It’s cute that Fvcu has a whiteout today.

 

[gospidersgo]

We've got Nelson rattled

 

[whampas]

That's as clean as that place has ever looked.

 

[I-M-UR]

They play tough handzy defense. We need to hit the 3 when we get them

 

[Dr. Spidey]

and that’s about the only way Nelson can score…

 

[whampas]

We looked disjointed. Need to calm down and take it to the iron.

 

[SpiderGuy]

Agree. Playing too conservatively. Just take it to them. VCU nothing special.

 

[Dr. Spidey]

Let’s Go King.

 

[I-M-UR]

There giving us opportunities we just can’t hit shots

 

[urfan1]

hard to win shooting 26.3%

 

[Dr. Spidey]

Floater Airball for Nelson

 

[I-M-UR]

24% from the floor 18 % from 3 lucky it’s as close as it is

 

[gospidersgo]

Not lucky - playing great defense is keeping us in it

 

[ur2K]

About as bad as we can play on offense and still well within striking distance. Need to clean it up - too many turnovers.
