On the road after a horrific performance. St.Louis has played Memphis and Auburn. They had a recent covid pause like St.Joe. looking at Mooney history after a big loss usual brings another loss. I like to bring up these guys rebound well. I say we lose by 8 and show we competed. Versus getting blown out by St.Joe.
At St Louis
- Thread starter Gospiders06
- Start date
St. Louis plays bully ball, which is a terrible matchup for Mooney ball. As per usual, if we shoot lights out, we’ll win. Otherwise, I’m not optimistic.
Can’t get up for good teams. Can’t get up for any important OOC games. Can’t close out games we’re winning. Can’t get up for lousy teams. Can’t get up for the conference opener on our home court. I’ll go out on a limb and suggest that we might just come out sluggish at SLU and finish the same way.
If only there were an identifiable trend here.

every game this season if the opponent has an even semi-decent big that plays with any semblance of physicality they totally have their way with us. We make random tall dudes look like they are ready to make the jump to the NBA with regularity. It is appalling to witness.
Wake me up when the a10 tournament starts. It's our only chance. And really, we have no chance of winning that either, as most of us realize.
Sounds like this team needs Viagra to get up for anything.

If we win tomorrow, the game likely drops to a Quad 2.
So losing a Quad 1 is better than winning a Quad 2? Right?
this NET stuff is tricky business
Our team is in St. Louis - a few hours before the game we blame them for not following Covid protocols and refuse to play ........Nah. something like that could never happen! Then we badmouth their Covid protocols.
And then one of their announcers blames it on our baseball team.
We’re now the only A-10 game still on for tomorrow. 6 of 7 postponed.

Men’s Basketball Game At Fordham Postponed - University of Massachusetts Athletics
The game will be rescheduled for a to-be determined date and time.
It's already easy to see what will happen... This year, we'll end playing most or all of our games and losing several we shouldn't. Meanwhile, VCU will have five or six games against good teams cancelled, they'll beat all the bad ones and end up getting a tourney bid.
Wow slu in a real bad streak last 5 games. Only 2 wins and one is vs putrid Boston College. Bounce back spot for Spiders. Mooney film session today was displaying posts on spidernation to the team. Take the money line.
Look for Richmond super senior Jacob Gilyard to break the NCAA steal record again. And again. And again.
Every day is a gift.
I’ll be cheering for a win today! I hate SLU so that’s an added dynamic. Curious to see if Gilyard shows up today given game is closer to home for him.
I think both GG and Burton break 25 and spiders win by 4 with 14 lead changes.
A few strange stats from SLU offensively
Well two not so strange
6th in the Nation at FT attempts per FG attempt
20th in the nation at getting OR
two that are strange
335th at not getting there shot blocked (not sure we can take advantage of this)
306th at not getting the ball stolen (we should take advantage of this)

Concur. We take this one and are back to unicorns ans rainbows by dinner.
Come on, Legger always puts the reverse jinx mojo on the opposition by negative posts about outcomes. But ssshhh, don't tell anyone it may break the curse/jinx...................
I predict EL will be very positive when we have a new coach. Unless it is the Hardt/Paulsen team, then watch out.

I wouldn't really be surprised if we managed to go on the road and knock these guys off today and I suspect we will win at least one more game that we "should lose" this season because the team does have it in them to beat anyone the problem is you don't know who is showing up game to game which yields stinkers such as the St. Joe's game (and dozens more before it).
So unfortunately even stealing some big wins down the road they will be negated by the latest game we "should win" of which you can bet your house that there will be more of those coming.

Probably right but let’s hope they have more than that and we salvage the season. Starting today!
