Another NET drop coming for Dayton. A bigger one I expect. Lost to Umass. How? They r absurdly bad.

Dayton ooc is more important & should carry them a bit, but with this many A10 games to go...danger danger.

We are very bad defensively……Guys blow by our perimeter guys on every closeout. AP and Neskovik together is untenable defensively. Neither one is athletic, neither one seems to have an idea what we are doing on defense and it doesn't look they even really care to try on defense.

Yes, nailed the key issue on defense. The plan this year is to out score the other team…..except Richmond doesn’t have the offense either.

down 5 why is B Artis taking a tough 2 pt jumper like that?

Good question. See next response.

Unfortunately Tyne and White are both poor shooters.

And not afraid to keep shooting and missing especially White. Of course, Mooney thinks White is the key to making this team “even better”. Has to have given him the green light and it earns the Spiders the big L.

Richmond having a shot to actually win this road game (with the insane foul disparity) shows you that you don’t have to be good to be competitive in the A10.

Nice try Spiders.

Adjustments by GM paying off beginning of second half. Dominating us inside and smothering defense. I don’t think we’ve scored in 4 mins.

14-0 run for gmu..was the difference

Good argument except Trump wasn't President in 2016, not until January 2017.

Late-clock situations are such an indictment on the mooney offense. Absent a Jordan King type player, we just run a normal offensive set like robots and show no sense of urgency to get an open look. Tough to watch.

They had no idea what to do on that possession down 4 with 26 secs left.

I like the O'Connor guy from the Goo Moos. Weird hair but effective, well rounded player.

Yep ugly. And agree with Philly, we have perimeter defenders that would have their parents calling me if they had been on one of my middle school travel teams . Our players at the end is Walz holding the ball 40 feet from the basket.
Hope Hunt is ok.

I like GMUs coach, gave a good quick postgame interview

We are so poorly coached. Defense is horrible and end of game execution is insane. Nice long losing streak headed our way.

6 point loss, they shoot 28 FT we shoot 8

They were also much more aggressive than us, and that leads to foul opportunities.

The play by play guy must get hammered after every game trying to get blood out of that turnip

Section 9 Grumpy again - AP has a turnover quick in the beginning of 2nd half - Mooney mad - sits him and we don't score for 7 minutes - great job Coach - prayers for Delo's foot

Lose by 6 and go 7 mins to start second half without scoring. Checkmate.

I just saw the guy who fills Mooneys tiny cup on TV. God what a job.

we showed some good fight tonight, but we just don't have the players. Its going to be a long season still! And forget about how long if Hunt is out!!

Didn't see what happened to DLo anybody notice on court? My feed froze too for a minute.

They said foot injury for DLo. And ruled out for game. So quickly isn't the best sign.

Just watched back the footage - I think he hurt it on a drive around the 4:30 remaining mark in 2H. He played through it for a minute or two but you can see him hobbling and not putting full weight on his left leg.

These refs are horrible, Neskovic was not fouled there

PhillySpider said:

They have more free throws because we struggle to play defense and when you struggle to stop penetration and keep your man in front of you, you end up fouling a lot!

From what I've seen Nesko and Tanner have no chance out there preventing their guy getting to rim

there you see the problem on defense. Right by AP on perimeter, no one even looking to help - - all out of position and chasing and they get an and 1!

Hanes literally shoving our guys over under the basket and no call
