2025-2026 Non Conference Schedule

[fan2011]

Just thinking about this. Go back and look at the who the women's team and men's lax team played OOC. They both literally played the best of the best. Each coach set an expectation for what their program is now and seeks to be. Those teams challenged themselves and then delivered on those challenges. Those teams brought glory and pride to all Spiders.

Mooney is setting the complete opposite tone and expectation with the program he leads. This is why I can't and haven't been able to stand behind him. I expect the leader of any team/sport I follow to demand the best and set an expectation for championships and winning at the highest level. We've lost that in our men's basketball program.

Those teams were actually good though

Do you get better beating up, or worse yet losing to, cupcakes?

3. As we are the cupcake, why can’t we get better opponents? We should have a lot of q1 and 2s

inviting us and maybe pay us for their home games.

Because we have finished with NETs in the 30s, 60s, 70, and 80s this decade. With wins over Vanderbilt, Wisconsin, BC, NC St, and Iowa, and a 24 win, A-10 regular season title season only 2 seasons ago. That is not the definition of a cupcake.

I don’t think getting demolished by a top 5 team last year improved our team haha.

seems kinda lazy using social media for this. get on the phone and make something happen.

it's like a high school kid posting "if you need a prom date, I don't have one. give me a call. I have a car and I'm a good dancer".

In all seriousness, I don't think beating cupcakes, losing to cupcakes, getting drilled by Auburn, or losing to Loyola and Dayton in OT improved our team last year. When u are flawed and non athletic, not a lot can change that.

I hear u, but it doesn’t hurt for him to do that. It makes sense for a coach at that level to put that out there. And, I'm sure he is calling coaches.

Most coaches use social media these days to promote their teams and programs. Mooney is not on social media.

Yeah, I'm sure he's working the phones as well, but the tweet sends out a broad message that can efficiently reach more eyes and casts a bit of a public light on the plight of these schools trying to fill out their schedules.

GW's MTE:



I believe Fordham and Mason are the only two A-10 teams left without a known MTE.
