Figured I’d create a thread about this because it’s obviously very relevant. We all know what we need to do this week and that’s win at least a couple games to have a shot at getting in but screw that, let’s just win the tournament outright. I know I may get criticized for this but it seemed after the st joes game that we were acting like we won the national title by winning the regular season. It was a big deal but we have bigger and better goals to chase than that because tbh if we don’t make the tournament it doesn’t really matter. Also saw a lot of talk about how you can’t possibly leave the A10 regular season champ out if we get bounced in the league tournament almost as if we’re just assuming we’re not gonna win the thing. I agree we shouldn’t be left out but unfortunately that’s just not the way it is. Instead let’s just not even leave it up to anyone and go in with the opposite attitude where we’re the big dog on the block and that no one is beating us on our way to winning the league title this week. We went 15-3 in a very good league, won a lot of close games against solid teams so we know we can get this done.
One of my biggest criticisms of mooney has been that I think he’s kind of soft and I think a lot of times the team reflects that attitude. I’m challenging this program this week then by saying that. I’m sure some players and coaches read this board and I hope they see what I just said. Prove me wrong. I know they have the talent and ability to win 3 games this week so ain’t nothing to it but to do it. Don’t go in scared, nervous and thinking about what happens if we don’t win the tournament. Go in play loose, free, with intensity that we’ve seen this year and there’s no doubt in my mind that trophy is coming back to the University Of Richmond. Expect to win guys! 🔴🔵
