Forecast for Fordham

[UR80sfan]

We did not play well against them at the Robin Center this year. Had a lot of difficulty with their Zone defense. Hopefully, we will make adjustments. U of R by 10.

BTW, is U of R getting its own Amtrak train car to get to the A10 Tournament like VCU? Obviously not, but it is a great marketing strategy for both Amtrak and VCU.

UR basketball is on a slow train to no where.

 

[64Spider]

Marketing......we don't need no marketing! Besides we can watch the game at Buffalo Wild Wings!

Except their fans can't afford to ride the train.

Let’s be/do better than this comment.

I found the RTD article on VCU and Richmond today side by side pretty telling. VCU has its own train cars to go to Brooklyn to support their team, juxtaposed with our article about how Mooney and the players supporting him while a good segment of the fan base has abandoned ship.

Two rival programs heading in completely opposite directions.

 

[spider23]

UR basketball is on a slow train to no where.

Fordham coach says: Easy with the train discussions!

 

[GKiller]

Did somebody say train marketing? UR athletics heard you loud & clear. Is that Thomas the Train? Choo Choo! We'll see VCU's Amtrack and raise you two emoji's...

 

[Spider2020]

If we want to win more than 1 game in the tournament, we need to beat Fordham handily. If Gilyard has to play 35+ minutes in this one we’re done for before Friday

 

[FrontRoyalSpider]

We will probably lose to Fordham by 8.

 

[32counter]

Double Honor who was 5/13 from 3s v UR and had 23.Bunting,big guy, had 13 v UR.Finished for year with mild stroke.Easy strategy to get W.Golden and Cayo should abuse Rams inside paint.

I know UR won’t get a Box-Out Car on the train.

 

[Spider2020]

Anybody know when the tip off time is now that the first game is over?

Anybody know when the tip off time is now that the first game is over?

Just started

 

[gospidersgo]

According to live stats Fordham is 0-11 shooting and we already have 3 offensive rebounds. Spiders lead 4-0 five minutes in.

 

[Spider2020]

Rims seem very tight. Everything bouncing out for both teams

 

[MidloTrader]

Could be leading by 20 already if GG and Cayo would ever dunk the ball and hit a shot within 4-5 feet of the rim.

 

[LongTimeFirsTime]

What the @#$%, these jerks are everywhere. I heard they have a billboard up in Times Square. Not that they know what a "mooney" is in Manhattan.

 

[kneepadmckinney]

This isn't Chris Mooney. This is everyone but Wojcik missing wide open shot, after wide open shot, after wide open shot.

 

[gospidersgo]

There is no doubt that these are 2 of the worst teams in the conference.

 

[Dr. Spidey]

The announcer just stated “you don’t know basketball if you think that Richmond is not a well coached team”. Must be in the twilight zone

 

[urmite]

Were we expecting 61% of our scoring from Wojcik & Yates?

 

[Spider2020]

The announcer just stated “you don’t know basketball if you think that Richmond is not a well coached team”. Must be in the twilight zone

He also said “Richmond is a man to man team” so clearly this is the first time he’s seen Richmond all year. Or maybe in several years

 

[ChoppinBroccoli]

The War of 1219.

 

[SpiderK]

Shooting lights out!!!

27% over all 20% from 3 and 42% from FT line.

 

[spider23]

Up 5 at half, Gilyard with 0? I expect 12-14 points from him second half, 12 point Spider win.

 

[SpiderK]

There is no doubt that these are 2 of the worst teams in the conference.

We could not beat NorthEasten or Hofstra

 

[SpiderGuy]

The announcer just stated “you don’t know basketball if you think that Richmond is not a well coached team”. Must be in the twilight zone

Not watching the game, but curious who the announcer is. Is he reading off of crib notes? If he said that extemporaneously, he really hasn't been to the RC this year or the previous 13.

 

[SouthJerseySpiderFan]

There is no doubt that these are 2 of the worst teams in the conference.

No, really. Peaked in at stats and one team shot 26% from the field while the other came in at 25%. Possibly a masterpiece of a defensive battle.

 

[SpiderRick]

27% against a horrible team. Why did we even waste the travel expenses?

 

[97spiderfan]

Hey guys, relax. This is just an early practice for next year.

 

[fatherspider]

We could not beat NorthEasten or Hofstra

OMG... no way.

 

[kneepadmckinney]

If Nathan Cayo isn't comfortable taking a wide open 9 foot jump shot, he really needs to change the way he shoots a jump shot.

 

[SpiderRick]

Apparently not comfortable with 2 footers either, just missed 4 of them in less than a minute...

 

[SpiderAlways]

Great recruiting.

 

[Stork3]

According to live stats Fordham is 0-11 shooting and we already have 3 offensive rebounds. Spiders lead 4-0 five minutes in.

We lead 4-0 after five minutes. Maybe with all the great freshmen and other young players, this means that we may lead them 8-0 five minutes in next year! Four points in five minutes? Just like in other games this year?

Now we have come out flat in the second half. Again.

 

[PhillySpider]

Rousing halftime speech and corrections from our coach at halftime - - - We have this well in hand now as we let them get off right out of the gate!

 

[72Spider]

Not watching the game, but curious who the announcer is. Is he reading off of crib notes? If he said that extemporaneously, he really hasn't been to the RC this year or the previous 13.

He's John Feinstein a writer of sports books who likes to think that qualifies him as a basketball commentator.

 

[PhillySpider]

5 points in six + minutes to start the half. This game is going to be first one to 50 wins - - - except nobody make make it!

But I can hear the Pro-Mooney faction now after a 49-47 loss - - - it will go something like this - - - Wow were we great on defense. We have come so far defensively its unbelievable. We held them under 5o - - - we're a lot like UVA on defense now. I know, we scored in the 40's too, but we know we are a good team offensively - - we've proven that so we can just ignore that. If we hold teams under 50 next year we should win 23-24 games easily and be dancin for sure!

 

[urmite]

Both teams need to get going if we are going to win this 70-67 as predicted...
