2nd game of the Brooklyn Miracle - Game Thread vs Goo Moos

[whampas]

Shooting percentage needs to pick up. Getting chances just not falling.

 

[SpiderRick]

Too much one on one, Burton forcing things. We need (Cock) Roche to get hot.

 

[Spider2020]

Need any of our guards to score. Don’t care if it’s Nelson, Goose, Randolph, or Roche. But we need at least 1 to be a threat

 

[SFspidur]

This the first time the official Spiders account has recognized the MFG nickname? 🤣

 

[8legs1dream]

I think the first team to figure out how to shoot better than 30% from three will win this one

 

[urmite]

Using Amtrak? Gustiest move I ever saw man.

So you would rather drive around Brooklyn & the Bronx every day?

 

[urmite]

I took it to DC for the A10 tourney last year. It has its pros and cons

About once a month RVA to DC from 2000-2011 and that was fine (Just don't take the overfilled Boston/Miami route).

But took DC to Philly 5 or 6 times and that was horrible (Any then you are in Philly...)
By 3rd time, business class helped a little.

 

[SpiderRick]

Quinn zero fouls yet, let's keep it that way in the first half. He's found his shot!!

 

[MDspider8]

Neal having a great A10 tourney so far

 

[SpiderRick]

Quinn zero fouls yet, let's keep it that way in the first half. He's found his shot!!

Sorry guys, I jinxed him

 

[SFspidur]

I blame you for that foul.

 

[SFspidur]

Another terrible end of half possession, who woulda thunk?

 

[Spider2020]

Nelson really should have a few points by now. Shot looks pretty good, and getting good looks, he’s just hitting every inch of the rim

 

[I-M-UR]

What was that? Hold to 10 seconds for last shot and ???

 

[MDspider8]

Another terrible end of half possession, who woulda thunk?

Getting a shot up is a challenge. Insane.

 

[whampas]

If Nelson could hit a wide open shot, we'd be up by a dozen.

 

[Spider2020]

Another half with 0 points from the 4 guards who played

 

[gospidersgo]

Maybe somebody with more time and/or research savvy than me can figure this out - how many times this season have we not even been able to attempt a shot on our last possession of a half? It's really pretty mind-boggling.

Love that My "MFG" (With an assist from Ply the following day vs Davidson while I was in DC at the game) comment during the Dayton game has now earned its way as a nickname on our official men's page.

 

[SFspidur]

I don't understand why we were even holding it there. There was an 8-second difference between shot and game clock. It's not like we were going to prevent them from getting a final possession. So all we did was screw ourselves out of a quality shot (or any shot).

 

[gospidersgo]

Feels good to have a halftime lead but I have a hard time believing we can hold them in check to the same extent in the second half. Really think that Burton and one of our guards are going to need to heat up for us to pull this one off.

Feels like virtually every time

 

[gospidersgo]

Yes, I see the key being the 5 minutes coming out of half time. Coming off the game yesterday, I am feeling a good 1st half. Then everyone sitting around feeling good at halftime, need to bring the energy out of the gate.

Increased lead from 4 to 8...

 

[8legs1dream]

win the second half, win the game. Let's go!!

 

[SFspidur]

Well that lead disappeared in a hurry.

 

[gospidersgo]

Increased lead from 4 to 8...

Nevermind...

 

[97spiderfan]

8-0 Mason run, punctuated by us doing what we do worst, shoot 3 balls.

 

[MDspider8]

Neal goes out with 3rd foul, 8-0 run GMU. Don't think PT can afford to sit him much longer

 

[Spider2020]

Three point shooting makes a big difference

 

[I-M-UR]

Well the 3 point prediction is playing out

 

[Spider2020]

Time to try Roche again. We need shooting

 

[whampas]

Classic Richmond fade. Need to shake this off and get going.

 

[8legs1dream]

holy crap, walked downstairs to look for something and grab a drink. Come back into my office and there has been a ten point swing

You are hereby ordered to remain in your seat for the rest of the game.

 

[I-M-UR]

BS call

 

[SFspidur]

 

[Spider2020]

Refs have not been friendly in the second half

 

[urmite]

Time to try Roche again. We need shooting

But he has missed all his 3s today. (Zero of them)

 

[I-M-UR]

1 for 9 from 3….. no hope if this doesn’t change

 

[Spider2020]

We’ve opted for Bigelow instead of Grace and no Roche. Guess we are ok with not hitting threes
