Gilly & Golden may have figured out how to play that day idk. fwiw we did go on to have another 20 loss season the following year too, & were worse in the A10.

Right now we're on track to have a 20 loss season this year after having won conference regular season last year. We're on 5 game losing streak currently. Closest to that is Bonnies with 3 game losing streak. We're 1 game up on mighty Fordham as the worst teams in the league. Maybe Hardt can address this in the jolt.
Or maybe we just figured out how to have them shoot 4-23 from three, possibly with little help from us…
Can we count Dayton out now? Bonnies 75, Flyers 53.
NCAA luvs Dayton, but this seems like too much to overcome. Dayton probably would need to win tournament to get a bid.
Gkiller, I know you had internship trying to find a worse rivalry coach, with no results. Wondering if could use some AI scripts to figure it out? Possibly it does not exist, a worse rivalry coach?????
Would be beautiful to have JOC call out sick for VCU game and go as his replacement and ask Mooney if he is aware that he owns lowest win percentage in rivalry games?

Yes - Dayton is done. Unless they plan on winning out the rest of the A10 - which seems pretty much impossible, they are done. VCU also took a hit with loss to St. Louis. Doesn't knock them out - but knocks them back. I think if VCU can finish the A10 with 3 losses, maybe 4 - then depending on those losses and metrics - they might be on the outside of the bubble and need some help, and need to win some A10 tourney games.
But at least VCU can have the conversation, there is no conversation down the road at UR. We are 240's in the NET, even below Fordham.

Damn, they fell a whole FIVE spots. Amazing!
It is funny, but just goes to show the importance of scheduling. SDSU has been struggling in conference play but still 42 Net. Again, play a strong OOC and you can be in position.
I know, it is HARD to schedule. It's HARD to win at home, HARDER on the road. HARD to navigate NIL, HARD to keep players. HARD to obtain players. HARD to compete. Everything is HARD.
I’ll put the interns up against China’s deep seek.
To be clear Moon as bad as his % is vs vcu, he doesn’t own the worst rivalry %. That’s because everyone else was FIRED. He’s gotten most games vs a rival with the worst results. Now b4 4700 went to his bunker he argued u can’t call him the worst just because he’s had 20 years. Made no sense that’s exactly why u can. Again everyone else gets fired. Nobody in sports gets that many chances when u r so bad vs rival. I mean if his metrics otherwise were great u could understand it a little. But they r not. What’s his best metric. U look at ncaa bids, A10 tourney performance, overall win %, a10 predicted finish vs actual. All mediocre to bad. His best metric is probably winning 3 games in ncaa in the 3 measly appearances.
Forget Gotti. Teflon Chris. Worst rivalry coach of all time.
And again - the rivalry record only gets attention when you don't make NCAA tournaments. Look at Ohio State - they don't care about losing to Michigan this year cause they won National Title. But - had they lost in the first round of the playoffs - it would have been a popular talking point.
Exactly. Ooc schedule most important. National schedule. Hard. It’s why some a10 losses sunk uri & Bonnie quickly. We’ve had this debate b4 & why I couldn’t understand a few posters not wanting to load up w P5 as much as possible.
I know what would kill vcu Net after 20 games? Losing to Richmond. As I think 97 mentioned they’ll be motivated to crush us Sat for NET. & they’ll be labeled as the more desperate team even tho we’ve lost 5 in a row & get embarrassed regularly vs vcu. Shouldn’t we be the desperate ones? No it will all be about just trying to compete against vcu energy. Strange. When we can give them a truly debilitating loss we can’t do it. Once under Moon. Great chance Sat but we know how that will go.
This year’s OOC schedule was an embarrassment. Not just the D2 games, but the MTE’s and the NET 300+ opponents. Playing such as bad schedule hurts recruiting, high school and Portal, kills NET, and is an insult to long standing UR fans.
When was the last time we had a big OOC game at the Robins Center. I’m too lazy to research, but believe it’s been quite awhile. The fans deserve it!
What burns even more is looking at fellow A-10 opponents whose schedules are sprinkled with P5 opponents and respectable MTEs. If they can do it why can’t we!?
Maybe it won’t be so hard to schedule strong opponents in the 2025-26 schedule. We’ll be considered a “cupcake.”
Give the players and the fans something to get excited about!

It's impossible that VDU can keep it classy. Apparently, some SLU fans were yelling "eyebrows" at a VCU player named Max. The player's family got mad and started the fight... over someone being called eyebrows. Really VCU.
The entire VCU contingent was escorted from the building.
VCU staying classy... is mission impossible.

I've seen on this thread and Twitter/X that SLU fans chanted "Russia" at Max. I do recall hearing a some noise while Max was shooting FTs, but couldn't make it out. I have a really hard time believing this to be true because I feel like this would be a story (along with the fight). If someone...

As soon as they said fight on the broadcast, you knew it was gonna be a bunch of dudes in black and gold and probably wearing some glow lights, ram horns, or dressed in some ridiculous get up.

make fun of my kid's eyebrows, you better be ready to throw.
actions have consequences.
to be fair, SLU fans weren't above the fray. saw a SLU fan in a grey hoodie get in a strong left to a VCU face. and some on both sides were trying to keep the peace.

Max's family is in Ukraine. Nope. Different player's family was involved.It's impossible that VDU can keep it classy. Apparently, some SLU fans were yelling "eyebrows" at a VCU player named Max. The player's family got mad and started the fight... over someone being called eyebrows. Really VCU.

Without looking, I would say our "biggest" OOC home games in recent years were Vandy, UNI and Toledo. Not exactly moving the needle with those.
I figured it was the loser Ram fan that dresses like a Pharaoh. No idea if that is still a thing but saw that guy 1st hand in the A10 tourney in Pitt. & it felt like a lifetime cause. like the ppl who pretend to be dogs, the Furries.
so who is eyebrows? Is this like an Anthony Davis unibrow? Gotta be fair game.
this is actually good intel to have for our game at RC. last year the Jaynel stuff was 1 of the better efforts ever from a U of R crowd. it actually helped our team. because the fans showed some "fight", the non haymakers kind. we know it's not going to come from Mooney. that win was on the fans. I should knock Moon's record down to 8-25. the game at RC could be Jaynel 2.0 so to speak.
It's hard to follow the thought processes of a typical VDU fan.
My sense is someone was yelling eyebrows, while Max was shooting FTs, Phil's family thought Max was being called a Russian, and Phil's family got angry (maybe because someone called Max eyebrows, when they thought he should have been called a Russian?).
From trolling the VCU message board...
"They definitely chanted something at him for all his FTs and in the second half whenever he touched the ball. It was two syllables and sounded like “Russia” but I cannot confirm."
"I have a source who was right near the scuffle, apparently the SLU fan was shouting "eyebrows" for whatever reason (kinda lame). Not "Russia"
The family of some guy named Phil got involved....
"Overall it sounds like some SLU fans and Phil's fam were jokingly going at it and eventually it reached a tipping point. A few SLU fans were assholes and some members of Phi's [sic] fam didn't take the higher road. It's a shame that this happened, let's hope Phil can have a good game on Saturday."
Then the entire group of VDU cockroaches were sent packing....
"The entire group of VCU fans were escorted out for their own protection. As I said before, no need for insinuations about a player's family when you have ZERO facts on what occurred.'
So, how can we have the Feces U fans escorted from the Robins Center, during games?
I get it... someone needs to stand up and yell "eyebrows" at the FCU players.

Sounds like Russell’s family was the VCU part of the kerfuffle. He’s from St Louis

can't believe I just went through the VCU roster pics looking for someone with unusual eyebrows, and came up empty.
I was expecting to find Luigi Mangione.
I don't get it.
