Why didn't Austin stand up to Biden, when he ordered the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan?
Because Austin didn't have the stones. He and Mark Milley were too busy ordering the troops to take DEI training. Meanwhile, 13 soldiers were murdered at Abbey Gate. If Austin had any guts he would have resigned. Austin, like most of the brass at the Pentagon, is little more than a weathercock.

Its pathetic that you are so focued on Lloyd Austin's stones, but not unexpected coming from you.

Love the energy right now. Dusan refusing to be denied, AP making great plays on both ends.

Let’s see if we can get enough stops to win this one. SLU really helping us out missing all those FT’s.

Dusan and AP definitely brought some much needed energy and nice plays. Even Beagle got into the act.

Unfortunately

The early “interest” by the students quickly dwindled. I don’t think any of them stood up for anything even when the Spiders rallied and could have used some extra support. @Section9.RowD you are going to have to give some classes on school spirit.

Tyne got bulldozed in first half and so White got to play to show what he could do. Surprisingly, he was also pushed around and scored on.

I had zero expectations of winning this thing going into it but we had played well enough and kept it close enough in the second half to give me that (false) hope that maybe we could pull it off after all. Sloppy play after sloppy play to close it out after going up what 7 or 8 very late? Defeat from the jaws of victory, that’s the Moonie way. I am so tired of this shit.

The main thing I learned is that STL is not very impressive. They are much better than last year of course and I expect Schertz will get them back into the top tier. However, this year I can see why VCU schooled them. As poor as the Spider play is this year, they should have won this game which surprised me.

Mooney is such a bad end of game coach. He got schooled by SLU coach.

It was laughable. Run the exact same defensive play after the TO. I guess that was to see what an adjustment looks like. /s

Can't believe how many times we stepped out of bounds in the final minutes.

I can’t think of any games where that happened to the Spiders twice, let alone within the same half. Finding new ways to lose.

I posted this in the ST L game thread but worth posting here also.
Guess the prez didn't do enough in his coming out party earlier this week to get more minutes today. Got a few mins in first half, but I don't think he left the bench second half???? Wait for comments this week by Moon saying he'll need to find GW3 more minutes. Prez will be here next year maybe. Time now to see more of what he can do. B Artis did hit a few today but surely wouldn't have hurt to give the prez more minutes.

3 minutes today

I suspect that was the plan all along - get him in during 1st half to show the concept of playing someone who had a few good /great minutes last game but make sure to make it clear that we shouldn't expect to see him much more the rest of the season. .. smh

3 minutes today

Must have been the 5/22 shooting from deep

All they had to do was set one screen to get Roche or White guarding Avila - to see that happen over and over again is just maddening.

We have such a terrible coaching staff - do something about it.

Moon strategy. Must be logical? When I saw that, I couldn't believe such a mismatch.

Also, Tyne was essentially benched for the last 15 minutes of the game. Think this is the second or third time that’s happened this season?

Just hasn’t worked at all with him this year.

Fast forwarding thru games. Can't stand the disappointment.

I'm so tired of Mooney that I find myself wanting us to lose but find it difficult to root against the Spiders. It's a really effed up place to be.

I've stopped watching or listening to the games. No longer season ticket holder. Makes for a calmer and happier life

How can we give up so many layups without help. Beagle is awful on defense. Avila backing down White
and he does absolutely nothing. AP did a good job on Avila but gave up an easy layup and one cause he
did not play goal side and got way out of position. Decisions have got to be better on both ends of the court.

5 pts in last 552...horrible end of game coaching but that's what a Mooney team does.

And covered.

Moon endgame. Same story.

For those listening the color guy was doing his typical we r paid to talk well about the coaches & he was talking about Mooney being there 20 years having guys play inspired & he said & “in 20 years he’s …PAUSE…had them in a number of ncaa tournaments”. Pretty funny. Like saying 3 after just saying the number 20 was too embarrassing.
