    A-10 Tournament

    Good point. No doubt that depth perception can be different for different people. I know a guy who used to shoot 70 % from the free throw line in practice with a mask covering his eyes. Spatial discernment and muscle memory were the key. Of course, that same guy shot 91% with his eyes open...

    A-10 Tournament

    It is my opinion that site line arguments are bogus; and as such irrelevant for good shooters. The best shooters rely primarily on muscle memory, spatial discernment (knowing were you are on the floor in relationship to the basket), and the ability to make quick assessments (adjustments) based...

    Quarterfinal Game Thread 1130 Thursday against St. Joes - USA network

    A good, scrappy team got let down (again) by poor coaching. It was the key factor that cost them the game and thus a possible bid. Yes, teams win and lose games; but, this theme is nauseatingly consistent. Anyone with higher aspirations for the program and the players is once again sick on...

    Quarterfinal Game Thread 1130 Thursday against St. Joes - USA network

    Quinn played a very good game with the exception of the coverage on the high ball screens for Reynolds. HOWEVER, that is not all Quinn's fault, positioning him half way between the driving Reynolds and the basket set him up for failure on those drives. Mooney was absolutely spanked today! Lang...

    RICHMOND SPIDERS - ATLANTIC 10 REGULAR SEASON CHAMPIONS

    Congratulations to this team! What a great season. The guard play has made all the difference this year. That includes Dji Bailey.

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

    The team has no bench every season due to coaching practice and philosophy. This is true though many on this site don't understand it or want to acknowledge it. The same is true regarding VCU underperformance (8-25). The Spider coach prepares his team for VCU with his same ole, just another...

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

    I agree that this UR team is a good team, fun to watch. Certainly they have won more games this year than expected, good for them. AND, the weak A-10 schedule the rest of the way provides opportunity for many more wins. All good, I expect that the Spiders will have a fair number of wins at end...

    Dayton White-Out Game (Mens) Thread 6pm Sat 1/27 CBSSN

    It wasn't backhanded, once again your bias and blindness caused you to misread and misinterpret. I've been clear for 18-years where I stand on Mooney's coaching ability. It was apparent in year one, and his career numbers back up my position. You drink whatever Kool-Aid you choose, we disagree...

    Dayton White-Out Game (Mens) Thread 6pm Sat 1/27 CBSSN

    A great TEAM win! As others have said, the defense has been really good, Bigelow was a BEAST rebounding. Bailey, Hunt, and King ALL making timely big plays, free throws when they count, fun to watch! The poise has been impressive, this team is not showing the typical collapse mode that we have...

    Predict our A-10 game results

    9-9, a typical year. Wait, last year overall below .500, a transitional year. This year overall above .500 - tremendous improvement. "We are going in the right direction, just wait until next year!" - Chris Mooney :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Agree. Though Colorado State lost this one at home, I like their team and their coach. Saw them beat Colorado. They look like "at least" sweet 16 to me. Strong guard play.

    Florida Gators Game thread - Sat ~4pm SEC Sports Network

    He is playing well overall. Looks to me like he is "pulling the string" as he let's it go. Typically, pulling the string is a confidence (mental) thing as you say. Seems that he is "hoping" it will go in at this point. As stated regarding Roche, we sometimes try too hard to FORCE our struggle...

    Loyola needs a coach. When the successful guy left a few years ago they went with a young assistant who checked all the wrong boxes. I stupid choice from a basketball perspective, but they felt really good about the insider who was chosen for all the wrong reasons. They have been free falling...

    U of R transfer portal grade

    I think that the "A" rating here is too generous. While I would rate King & Quinn an "A", the others have not performed at the highest level. As others have pointed out, the team was below .500 last year, and a tick above .500 so far this year. In assessing portal transfers, it doesn't seem...

    William and Mary Game thread - Saturday 6pm Robins Center / ESPN+

    I wasn't able to watch this game. It is no secret that for 18-years I have said that Mooney is a below average coach. That is still true, HOWEVER, I give him credit for starting Roche in an attempt to get him out of his funk. It showed Roche that the coaching staff still had confidence in him...

    Nova's performance makes it seem as if coaching matters in college basketball.

    Spiders rank 1st in NCAA for lowest turnovers

    Lowest "turnover rate" in the Country and strong "assist to turnover ratio" are very nice stats and something to take pride in. However, purist basketball fans would have to ask "how does a team that handles the ball that well go 4-3 against mediocre competition?" I'd like to hear an explanation.

    Wichita isn’t Lawrence - Wichita State Game Thread - Wed 7:30 ESPN +

    Agree that Noyes first 2-minutes were not well played. But, He received the Mooney burial tonight, and he was never exhumed. I fear that it is now likely to be a wasted season for him from here on out. Down and/or disappeared is not the direction the team needs him to go. Spiders will not be...

    At half, no panic, slowly climb back in it. Nice job, well done. Bailey, Harris, and Walz playing well. See what 2nd half brings.

    Roche

    His volume isn't enough to cause many to say that he is amazing even if it was 41%, which it isn't. If you believe that Roche just hasn't happened to make a better percentage (or just hasn't happened to get more good shots) due to a fluke of nature, that is your choice. My opinion does not...
