Davidson 1/14 Official Game Thread
- Thread starter CH_Spider
- Start date
How do you not try and deny Jones the ball in that situation?
A game we should have won. What else is new Mooney? We competed. thanks a lot.
I won’t complain too much because Davidson was easily the most impressive team we have seen this year and we were good in the 2nd half but we are who we are - the big run against us, lack of intensity at start, key possessions lost on the boards and and the other guys making more plays than us!
If we are 13-3 (3-0) heading into this game, we say wow great game - 2 good teams battling hard. Instead it’s 10-7 (1-3) and another demoralizing loss
Yes Galli very enjoyable game to watch but if you have no complaints then you suck.
I was expecting VT4700 to come back after tonight & say how much better Mooney is than McKillop. Oh well.
no idea why a 6’10 big guy goes for the reverse layup in that spot late. Go up hard & u might get 3 point play.
Just like this team, he is who he is and he’s a finesse player and not a strong power player. Always has been and will continue be. Good player no doubt, but just not a power guy.
Yup. Let's get CH Spider to get that Fordham thread on the stove.
Moral victories are for teams learning how to play and figuring things out. This is the most experienced team in NCAA history. There’s nothing to figure out!
It’s great when the not 6 foot guy winds up on the almost 7 footer. Highly advanced basketball theory you only learn at Princeton
Yes, worth noting that Davidson #35 was in position for rebound put-back if Jones had missed because of the hedging.
This, that, lucky shot, whatever, bottom line is a UR loss.
Quick observations ..... Around 3+ minutes typical Spider defensive bounding gives a 2nd chance, 3rd chance score to tie score. After that not the 1st, 2nd, etc option Grace attempts 3 early in shot clock. Later of course GG not boxing out fouls and big man makes 2 FT. And yes, Jacob great game but that NBA like 3 try early in shot clock ill-advised.
Just a few poor decision making instances like this along with the team's forever weakness in the area of obtaining control of a defensive rebound in crunch time plays a part in the loss. Too often occurring under Mooney.
Grace 3 PT shooting down to 29% going 3 for last 20. Come on Chris, get control of your team.

Why leave the guy who hit 7 threes open? Again - highly advanced Ivy League stuff
Now I can finally bathe. I am throwing out the tin foil. I have gotten away with a lot during Covid.
Lucky shot that kid made 8 threes in the game. Go thank Mooney for allowing a hot shooter win the game!!!
Entertaining and competitive most of the game. As usual, poor execution down the stretch by Spiders. Burton's big three, and the late steal at least gave Spiders a chance.
Bottom line truth, UR players don't make enough quality plays at winning time to regularly come out on top. Well coached teams with good players win the majority of close games (especially at home). Teams unable to do that (are not as good) and are 10-7, 1-3.
This team is both underperforming (again) and over-rated.

It was a deep one but yes, I can see your point why let this guy shoot from anywhere on the court. Maybe that was the exact play Bob McK drew up on the sideline.
Hard to be overrated when you're in 11th place in a terrible league, and yet I agree with you.
And Mooney had zero answer for it! 17 years of this. Clutch coaching no where to be found.
Gilly shot well tonight but I also don't know why he took such a long 3 at end when Burton was open for a dribble & much shorter one.
Even climate change can’t sink this ship
