FOREcast for SLU - Thursday in Brooklyn

[spider23]

I think we benefit from having played one game already, and adjusting to the site lines and depth perception of Barclays empty seat background. This will be a huge advantage, especially affecting the brick layers from SLU.

Gilyard and Golden do not combine for 6-28 shooting tonight. I think Gilyard has monster game - 27 points 10 assists and 8 steals. Golden bounces back to and has 20.

Am I concerned Jacob played 40 minutes yesterday? A little, but I think the minutes and extra games catch up to us on day 3 against Dayton. Tonight, Jacob uses the scrimmage vs Fordham to find his bearings and breaks out a huge game. Mooney rides another day.

Richmond 83
SLU 79

Spiders up 14 late and SLU makes furious run to cut game to 2 points in the last minute.

I agree with pretty much all of that, but it seems like whenever I expect a win, we lose. If we do end up winning I hope it’s by enough that Gilyard gets 10 minutes of rest

O/U on Gilyard's minutes is 38.5. Take the over.

We shouldn't shoot 19% from 3 again, (unless we're all suffering from dead legs) as we did yesterday. Sadly we have a good chance to shoot 36% from the free throw line.

Last time with STL it was 44% and 94%. We can't give up 21 O rebounds again.

Last time 64% to 48% from 2. That would help again...

23, I didn’t see any indication that we adjusted to the site lines, but I hear what you are saying.

 

[SpiderK]

St Louis is not very good, we proved that already. I say we shoot a little better and only lose by 9. 71-62

 

[spider23]

Wow, A10 tournament coming off a win and game in a little while and 6 posts on the game thread. It is indeed a great time to be a Spider!

You scared off the "Fab 81".

Everyone’s in Brooklyn

 

[SpiderDaMan]

Looking forward to watching a very good game. Get those Billikens!

 

[SpiderRick]

Cato shooting free throws = automatic turnover

 

[SpiderK]

Just no stops on defense. We just hope they miss the open jumpers.

 

[gospidersgo]

French and Foreman both with 2 fouls - hopefully we take advantage.

 

[SpiderK]

Some one explain to me why Cayo would pull up from the FREE THROW LINE and shoot!!!!!

 

[MolivaManiac]

Good energy from our guys in the 1H.

 

[SpiderK]

Long way to go, but doing well so far. Gilyard and Grant came to play tonight.

As someone predicted

 

[SpiderDaMan]

Because he can't get it down low banging. Good player, but hasn't figured out how to dominate low. He's not big enough. So, he'd better learn how to shoot.

 

[Dr. Spidey]

Let’s go Spiders. They seem to really be focused right now. What I like to see.

 

[SpiderRick]

I actually thought that the officiating looked pretty good in the first half.

I am always amazed how year after year, no matter how many people graduate, St Louis manages to keep reloading.

Talking about their cheerleaders of course....

 

[gospidersgo]

Shhhh...Grant is 3/3 at the line.

 

[Gallipoli]

Spiders up by 10. The SLU coach is a baby. Crying about Richmond only having 1 foul. He was jumping around in the middle of the court. He is trying to manipulate the refs.

 

[Dr. Spidey]

Travis looks like a poor man’s Bill Self

 

[gospidersgo]

One turnover through the first 25 minutes of the game.

 

[urfan1]

Noah Yates deserves a shout out for his effort the last two nights.

 

[MidloTrader]

Best defensive stands tonight were playing 2-3 zone and not the horrendous matchup crap. Mooney simply will not adjust and do what might actually work.

 

[Dr. Spidey]

Can we just beat these ungrateful savages?

 

[Marley13]

French is a problem.

 

[wr70beh]

Can we just beat these ungrateful savages?

Not before we have one of those patented collapses.

 

[SpiderRick]

Stupid play by Yates to throw it back to their basket instead of down the court

 

[Dr. Spidey]

Gustavson and Yates have improved a ton

 

[gospidersgo]

Still just one turnover, pretty amazing.

 

[spider23]

Good effort by the Spiders. Just like last game vs SLU, they are the worst shooting team in America possibly. Keep them outside of 2 feet and foul hard at the rim and we win going away.

 

[Dr. Spidey]

Golden is getting mean. Finally

 

[spider23]

And as bad as Mooney is at coaching basketball, Ford is somehow even worse.

 

[MidloTrader]

This is just downright embarrassing . . . can't even box out and get a rebound when SLU misses FTs. 3rd or 4th time they've been beaten to the ball.

 

[whampas]

The choke is on.

 

[wr70beh]

Tie game. Shocker. We let teams off the hook at an alarming rate.

 

[Dr. Spidey]

Finally they called a foul against SLU
