When one of you guys gets back to the Robins Center after your lunch break - please let the person in charge of emails know they messed up another one.

"Golden is currently the only player ranked in the top-10 in the conference in ____ and rebounding"

There really is a staggering about of errors on the printed materials that they are sending out these days. Are we starting to employ more VCU grads than we had previously?

One immutable fact is that we will practice extremely well leading up to the RI game.

RI Rams by 15.

I am going to change my forecast to win by 2. I think Golden and Cayo are both going to come up big.

Based on all the other comments, it seem like everyone thinks we will lose by a huge margin, but if we happen to win it doesn’t count because of a number of technical issues. Also, if we do well in the A 10 that also doesn’t count either due to additional technical issues. We also can’t use youth as an excuse even though 90% of our scoring is from Freshman and sophomore. All of our opinions should be based on blogs created by Dayton fans (they are extremely knowledgeable). We shouldn’t send our children to U of R, because most of the students are spoiled and the school lacks direction. Finally, Mooney sucks, Mooney sucks, and Mooney sucks. Does that sound correct?

Bring back the glory days of 3 invitations excluding automatic bids to the NCAA Tournament in 79 year! (Sorry, Mooney has one of those invitations. 2 invitations in 66 years)

Year/Conference Tournament Games winning %/Seasons with no NCAA or NIT %
1940-1981/???/1.000
1982-1993/.692/.250
1994-1997/.500/1.000
1998-2002/.700/.400
2003-2005/.500/.333
2006-2018/.455/.692

How low is acceptable for first %? How high is acceptable for 2nd %?

Spiders by 7 - 72 to 65. Gilyard and Cayo will light it up, and Grant and Woj come back with a vengeance.
 
Mooney Mad-Libs! Fill in your own Truths!

I would hope anyone with at least a high school education would know better than to turn this into a make fun of Grant Golden thread because that is exactly what you are asking for here.

Geez dude, lighten up. My impression of Grant is that he is a very smart and aware young man, and he would see the humor and intent that the fans are fed up with the basketball leadership and the SID staff.

Only a ______ would think that I'm asking for anyone to make fun of Grant Golden.

My degree says University of Richmond.
_____ _______, ____-_____.
 
Pathetic. Wire to wire victory for URI. We left at the under 8 timeout.
 
Watching on ESPN+, good lord, the few fans there are absolutely morbid. Nice job 4700.

They really need to remove Mooney yesterday, this is a complete cluster. I cannot even believe the level we have stooped. WOW.

Place was a morgue. A few fans fought the goood fight with a #FireMooney towards the end. Access cravers did not look happy.

On the positive side - the fresh, local craft beer was cold and delicious.
 
The chant was noticeable enough to have the club Mooney section looking up at the rafters. I agree the atmosphere at the RC is just awful, like the basketball.
 
Positives: Grant was more aggressive, Andre/Grace/Sal all got into the game for more than token minutes, offense wasn’t DOA
Negatives: We just don’t have any semblance of a functioning defense

Anyone who thought that -1 line was at all grounded in reality isn’t paying attention.

The Jakes, Andre, Cayo and Golden appears to be our best lineup ... So Mooney will still run JJ out there.

Sal needs to get more than "in the game" (not knocking you). My question is why is Sal not getting more minutes than JJ at this point? The kids is shooting 60%+, can handle the ball, and isn't a liability on the court for a freshman.
 
Agree Pride, the little I have seen of Sal this year he has looked pretty good. As we have all noted all along, will need to increase his strength and bulk (hopefully) over the next couple of years, but he is a smart, skilled player, with some nice length and bball IQ. Hope he sticks around in the Mooney aftermath. Would like to see him in another year or two in a Richmond uni.

I agree. Just saying it’s not mop up minutes.

Baby steps bruv.

Exactly. My simultaneous thoughts. I appreciate the loyalty aspect, though even if his thought is to win NOW (pressure, etc.), I still feel you we have a better chance w/ Sal in over playing JJ - except when JG or JW need a serious break. I like Grace. He'll mature and be a solid sub for Grant and come into his own.

By position. Make Sal a power forward.

1 - Jacob
2 - Wojcik
3- Cayo
4 - Sal
5 - Grant

They weren't significant. He's gotten more time in other games. I'd say commit to giving him 10 minutes next Weds. at home. What's the worse that can happen?
 
Switch Sal and Nate, Sal plays better as a swing guy.

I actually think the change to come is for Andre to replace JJ. I’m giving it about 5 more games before that’s in play.
