I just use this argument when it comes up that we are a small school and the reason we can't pack the Robins Center with students or alumni is because the large majority of our alumni are from the Northeast and migrate back to the Northeast for work after graduating. So here we are - we have a #1 team, the player of the year and the coach of the year - and we are already explaining why fans won't show up.
Flying back to city from Spring break baseball trip in early AM. Hoping to drag some teammates out to Brooklyn to support as well. Roll Ders
Small school. That's it. Nothing to do with where students come from or where they go.
Our sports culture is not great but that could be mitigated somewhat by size.
Barclays is a huge NBA arena we are playing at 11:30 in the morning. I assume this is tongue in cheek about filling the arena with Spider fans.
The early morning (yes this is early morning for college students) game, cavernous arena, etc scares me - I think just makes it all the more of a wild card, almost like a scrimmage setting. Obviously a ton at stake, and its a level playing field for both teams - but just seems that could add to variance and difficulty shooting. Need to bring our A game defensively and not settle for only 3's. Need to get easy buckets too.
GooMoo and SJU are underway. Greer is playing for the Hawks. I can't root for injuries (at least publicly), so I will just say that I hope this game is very physical, very long, and causes everyone to be quite sore and slow tomorrow.
Mason looks horrendous so far.

we might be one of the lowest 1-8 seed favorites ever. I don't know if they have stats on that, but could likely be up there. Aren't getting much respect from anyone and that will include Vegas. We'll see maybe I'll get surprised. Spread probably a little higher if Joes vs. goo moos.
No email from NYC alumni about game as yet, now inside 24 hours.
Looks like a Brooklyn Brownstone stoop coffee/doughnut sit is in order.

I like the way this game is going so far. No gimmes, but I feel much better about facing the Hawks than the Goo Moos.
I thought I preferred SJU too, but... if they get hot like this, they're trouble for anyone. And they are just going to keep bombing away from three, so they are probably never out of a game.
Let’s hope Joes shoot all their shots today bc they are cooking right now. While I’m patiently waiting to board this flight to NY 😀
No place can hold the 2500 nyc UR alums expected to descend on Brooklyn thursday morning for french pastries.
If we win on Thursday, there will be "official" alum events for Saturday's game...and other weekend games... let's give them two days of weekend work ;-)
JUST WIN!
I like that it's getting close. make them both sweat it out and spend a lot of energy down the stretch here, so no matter who wins, they feel it tomorrow.

pulling for the first 5OT game in A10 tourney history 😄
I think the St Joe’s mascot’s arms might fall off if this happens
I hear you but still believe on balance we matchup better with them than GM. We just can’t give them uncontested 3’s which is a no no. They hit 10 3’s I believe. Repeat - must guard their 3 point shooters. If we play our game and get contributions from several players we will win.
I am more worried about assists with Greer than points. He may give others more open threes.
Thoughts on vcu/Fordham? Feels like a good spot for Fordham to maybe score the upset - got their feet wet yesterday, vcu on 3 game losing streak, maybe some of their guys moved on from this season mentally already? If we get through St. Joe's tomorrow I'd actually love a chance to end vcu's season, though.
I like the Rams to win this one. I'll be shocked if they don't.
Mortal lock. Bet the ranch.

These studio folks are really going on about how Valentine deserved to be co-COY.
F McCall.
F McCall.
He's got one bucket...a banked-in shot on three tries from deep. Two turnovers, two fouls, and no other stats.
Chuckle every time I hear vcu fans and cheerleaders chant, let's go rams.
That was a Fordham team stat line. I am always shocked at a team that can do that and still be in the game
The one I always chant along with is “uck oo” VCU…
ODU, JMU, and GAmU use that chant too…
Let’s put this whole thing to rest, Go Spiders win this thing!
