Back to the games - Fordham
- Thread starter urmite
- Start date
A lot of their stats are inflated by playing a ton of really really bad teams. They have lost to every top 200 team they have played according to kenpom. That is right, they have no top 200 wins. When adjusted for the level of competition their defense is good, but their offense is below average. Kenpom gives us a 48% chance to win, we were favored before the Saint Joe's and URI debacles. I really hope we bounce back this game and see some improvement on defense. If we hold them to a reasonable 3pt shooting percentage I like our chances.
I see a 25-point loss. Our leading scorer will be Keith Oddo with 6. One of our players will suffer a season-ending injury. Rob Jones will get two technicals and be ejected. We will be outrebounded by 31. Fordham will make a school record 28 three-pointers. Our team bus will break down on the way back to the airport home.
Due to a series of weather related mishaps our team won't get back to Richmond until mid afternoon on Wednesday. After barely sleeping for days and getting no time to practice we will go 0-30 from the free throw line at home against La Salle and lose by 1.
Can you change subjects? And originally this was for thoughts on our next opponent's performance so far this season.
Now?
No doubt, the board will be on Defcon 1 if this occurs. I hope Fan1 has his emergency contingency plans on hand.
Fordham is improved - but they have played no real competition. Their best win to date is St. Johns? LaSalle?
Either way - I remember them usually giving us a tough game at their place and I bet their confidence is soaring as they have not won this many games in several years. We need to get off to a good start, quiet the crowd, get our confidence back and while knocking Fordham down and reminding them - they are Fordham.
I say play man to man the first half, and tell guys to just man up and don't let your guy score.

I'm too lazy to look it up...did Neubauer go with Beilein to WVU and then leave from there, or did he leave while Beilein was still at Richmond? I think the former but can't recall for sure.
Off subject does Mike Winecki at Clemson now have a shaved head? Was not sure
when i watched Clemson play the other night, if that was him. He looked like he had
some facial hair going.

I saw the Fordham @ GW game. Fordham was missing 2 players and looked like Mooney Year 1. BUT they were a completely different team in the 2nd half and put a real scare into GW. If they play against us like they did in the second half of the GW game we are going to have to bring our A game to win on their home court.
Not so sure. Complacency might come into play since any hopes of a good year will be dashed. "I feel much better now that I have given up all hope."
This will be a tough one.If we lose,long season ahead.If we win,we can at least get off the canvas and get ready for LaSalle with a clear head.
Invited 12 to game from NYC and CT.We will do our part.
Well we will probably beat all three of these teams this year so...
I am sure everyone on this board got a 1600.

I went to see Creed this afternoon, the latest (and pretty darned good) segment of the Rocky saga. It may be worthwhile for the team to watch it, shortly before this game, since it certainly focuses nicely on "never quitting." Hope we bring a full effort to this game, which is definitely winnable, if we are focused and in "high-energy" mode. Strangely, this may be our "turning-point" game, for this season.
If our team has to watch a movie to get fired up for a game at this point then we are in deep shite. Although I have been watching the Rocky marathon on AMC all week.
It's something positive to talk about. Although if we are going to talk about SATs, then I'm a walkon deep down the bench....
Great job 32. I know in past years we have had a strong Spiders contingent. I will only be myself and one other but once my voice recovers from my sons h.s. game last night plan to be vocal
. Friends of mine had a niece that ran track at Fordham. Two years ago they cam with me and met her at the game and after she asks, what is going on, why were there so many Richmond fans. With Fordham's success so far this year, I would expect a better crowd on their side this time.
