1 week into season and we're into the root against VCU's at large chances phase. The team most of the board doesn't think is that great. It would be nice to root for our own. But we are used to it in the Mooney era. This is the exact scenario we get virtually every year.

Now that I have looked into it, they are right about VCU. They have some talent and just importantly a legitimate coach. Moon is not going to gain any ground this season.

Wood, for someone who supports a party that champions the rights of gays, transgenders, etc.(rightfully so) why would you of all people use the term "butt-buddy" to make your point? Just a slip? Mistake?

there were also only 2.5 seconds on the shot clock at the time of the technical. Just terrible, no sugarcoating it.

Moon may want to dampen his criticism, since the technical saved him from Marist running the same late-clock inbounds that Dayton ran for a winning dunk a few seasons back. You know that was coming and we would be on here savaging the coaches for it.

Actually, Marist did run a quick out of bounds play (for some reason) and missed a quick shot. The clock reset to 20 after the T, but I guess they didn't realize that.

Today the 11th of November is Veterans Day. It started as Armistice Day in 1919 to commemorate the ending of World War I. Thank you to everyone who has worn the military uniform of our nation and the sacrifices you have made to preserve Freedom. The cost of Freedom is high but Americans have willingly paid the price to keep our country free. Just watched the Veterans Day Parade in New York city which is the largest in the world. Had an extra incentive to watch it as my son participated and as always was very moved by the people and the music. Thankful to live in the United States of America.

Thank you for this well written post, I would hope every American feels the same way. But I have to ask you: You are a Republican and obviously voted for Trump. How can you reconcile "The cost of Freedom is high but Americans have willingly paid the price to keep our country free" with the fact that Trump called those who died fighting for our country "suckers and losers" and asked "What was in it for them?". Do you think Trump didn't say these things or are you just willing to overlook what he has said due to other issues?

2024 Presidential Election

spider fan
The people who voted in the election sent a clear message. It is easy for anyone to be a keyboard warrior but Americans prefer the Republican party. The vote was decisive 312 electoral votes to 226 and the latest popular vote Trump 74.8 million to 71.3. The Senate 53 to 46 with one race not called and the House 214 to 203 with 18 still undecided. It is a free country and one can think anyway they wish. Nitpicking and ad-hominen attacks will not change the above facts. The Democrats' strategy was not effective. Admitting that and attempting to figure out why will go a lot further than demeaning Republicans and those who voted diffently than you did.

Per game +/- is available through the live stats feed that the @SpiderMBB account tweets before every game. I've found that they're only viewable on a computer, when I look at them on my app it doesn't show +/- for some reason. Here's the link for Marist, click on the "Home Stats" tab:

TY. +/- via live stats on PC is only place I've seen it too. i didn't realize u were still getting it there. That link will now self destruct as soon as Richmond bball staffers read this thread lol. maybe we should delete this instead! Interesting anlaytics there too. It rates Tanner and Graham (only 2 mins played) as worst defenders. Their stop %, the rate of defensive possessions where the opposing team did not score, were both 0.

Are the per game +/- publicly available on EvanMiya?

The over reliance on small guards is hard to overcome. 1 is fine when you have a shot maker like KA, King, even Gilly when he wanted. But Hunt to me is not a shot maker in same vein, he's a nice player he can drive but he's maybe your 3rd option on good team. I did think Mooney made a couple good points postgame. One was Hunt has too many other responsbilities to also put the bulk of scoring on him. His other was basically calling out AP tech as unacceptable.

too hard to distract shooters, other team shoots with confidence or we get the flying dutchman out of position stuff, & too hard to create your own shot unless elite. I like Tyne, he's not there yet and as said above, it was not his best game. And if u r going to go small, u better have stronger defenders on wing to supplement and that has been a concern of many of us whether we do.

I'm not drawing a straight line from this...I think spider23 has alluded to it...but we've sucked since we went victory lap with the net cutting.

Lastly AP technical. Yes, it was terrible timing and you can't do it at that point in the game. BUT, I love the emotion he showed not just on the play but other plays. It was cocky, it was demonstrative, it was emotive love that. He just need to be a tad bit more discretionary in how he employs it. Every team needs a guy who plays with an edge and maybe AP is that guy for us.

I hope Mooney's doesn't go overboard with how disappointed he was in the play that he tames that spirit. His comments in post game were really blunt, way more blunt than Mooney ever is in talking about a player performance.

there's no sugar coating it. it was one of the stupider things I've seen on a court.

he made a nice play and then totally offset it with a lack of self control. more than offset it. I expect a guy to make plays. I can't have you on the floor if when you make a play you ruin it with a taunting technical.

I like the look of his game. I like that he's excited out there. he hasn't played much. but technicals that cost the team can't be tolerated. i like how Mooney handled it. I don't think we'll see it again.

The numbers agree with this take too - Tyne was a team worst -18 in his 20 minutes on Saturday, while B. Artis was a team best +6 (tied with AP) in his 26. I know +/- isn't all encompassing, but other metric sites like EvanMiya also have low grades on Tyne. One game definitely doesn't represent a trend, but something to keep an eye on.

I really like what B. Artis gave on Friday night, he was impressive and it showed that this is 5th year playing college ball. I don't know if I have ever said that about a Mooney player but can Tyne be a just a bit less aggressive. Their is a fine line between playing aggressive and playing out of control and recklessly. Tyne pushes that line too much.
