A10 Game 7 - VCU

[WestEndEd]

Oh well, it all seemed like things were aligned for Spiders on Friday. Good energy in building, huge student turnout. From my vantage point less than 10% black & gold - maybe 5%. Continue to do a great job keeping Ram fans out of RC. Friday night A-10 featured ESPN game. Even Vegas had moved us to a 1 or 1.5 favorite. So, somebody thought we were supposed to win this one. Then ouch. UR lays an egg. No adjustments. Very frustrating. 32- 58.

That line was very puzzling to us as well

 

[Gallipoli]

Exactly. And, you know, we’d still be 12-23 against our supposed rival.

Watching VCU beat us is like peeping in the window while some guy bangs your wife in a Motel 6

Was the night cold and rainy? Were the curtains not fully drawn? How about that late night food delivery? A four course meal indeed. One could get hungry standing around until about 4AM.

What was everyone wearing?
Did they make you sit in a car with binoculars or did you have your nose pressed up against the window?

What is a rivalry? Huesman answers best regarding WM football game Saturday:

"You can say you’ve got a rivalry, but if they beat your brains out every year, it’s really not a rivalry.”

Don't believe you would ever hear such frankness from Mooney. Would be self condemning statement.

He also said "They don't like us and we don't like them," which Mooney would never utter. (I actually don't think most fans dislike W&M, but I do appreciate the sentiment.)

Checked in on VCU since I saw their loss. Crazy fact about their roster: 3/5 of their starters are attending their FOURTH college.

Jack Clark, a starter for them, will be 25 (!!!) at the end of the season. In 2018, his freshman year, he played at La Salle. For reference, that was Gilyard’s sophomore year.

I didn't see the game, but it seemingly exemplified their obvious problem: no frontcourt. Clark and Fermin: 57 minutes, 3 for 10, 7 points and 8 fouls. Pretty pathetic. They could be starting for us with lines like that. Bamisile 3 of 13 from three. As a team 9 for 37. They have two very good guards and a lot of undisciplined inconsistency after that. Sometimes, the too guards will be enough. Other times against teams with quality frontcourt players, they will be at a massive disadvantage.

VCU doesn't bother to even look at Fermin on offensive sets because he sucks. Clark plays 25 ft. from the basket.
