Well, it was 91-65 with 5ish to play. I'll take it.UR 91, VMI 67. (Hey, I'm trying to be positive!)
I am the eternal optimist until proven otherwise. I will remain a forward looking fan!87-61
I don’t know why you can’t be positive.Well, it was 91-65 with 5ish to play. I'll take it.
Exactly. Well said, spider23. You’re off to a good start yourself this season with posts like these.I thought that went about as well as expected for a first game. Yes VMI is bad, but as noted we have started really really slow in past years. King took reigns early and no let up.
Believe you're confusing that with the football rule. There is no such rule for any other sport other than wrestling.Just re-read the updated redshirt rules and didn't realize freshman can still be redshirted unless they play more than 4 games so still be curious how it plays out for Tanner and Smith.
thanks for correcting - yes read to quickly this morning ...Believe you're confusing that with the football rule. There is no such rule for any other sport other than wrestling.
Section 12.8.3 starting on page 58:
(There is of course the medical redshirt possibility, but for an elective redshirt, you step on the court once and you can no longer take it.)
Sounds a bit like Matt Grace’s career trajectoryMike Walz…may not be a star but more of a guy that gets a little more time each year here and by his senior year is indispensable..
Great summary, 4700. It's funny cause this is first post that mentioned defense. I saw harbors of past defenses last night of our guards wings pushing too far in with the help side defense and leaving opposing shooters wide open..
My biggest disappointment was we made things too easy for that Watkins guy. He was their only threat from 3, and should not have been open so often.
This is surprising to me simply because I agree with others about Smith and Tanner. Definitely don’t see how they will see much court time with all the options that there are. I would have to imagine that redshirts were discussed and they decided not to take them.Believe you're confusing that with the football rule.

Mooney has been quite clear that it's largely up to each player and their family. Seem to remember Bob or Beck saying during the game that they had talked to Mooney right before the game and it sounded like nobody was going to be shirting, so they'd all be available.This is surprising to me simply because I agree with others about Smith and Tanner.

You have learned well grasshopper.We suck
Mooney sucks.
We don't know how to properly use a time-out.
Our last-second shot approach sucks.
Quit sitting on a lead.
Quinn is soft.
Why isn't Roche starting?
Our students suck.
Just getting a head start on the upcoming season.
We beat literally the worst team in the league. Come on.One more thing...I've been a fairly critical of Mooney for many years now, but credit where it's due. Our situation looked pretty bleak at the end of last season. But Mooney and staff (and NIL?) held on to several key players and added a lot of new talent from high school and particularly the transfer portal. Again, only one game but there's a lot to like at the moment.
And the Spiders covered.Solid Win. As always, would like more defense.
Positives:
King was as good as the ETSU highlights and advertised. Won't happen every game, but wow what a difference from last year.
Hunt was just about as expected. Aggressive attacking the basket and in transition. Shaky from 3, but overall a positive.
Dji - looked good. Pass of the game on the drive and no look. Like when he drives b/c he is very adept at finding the man fore easy layup.
Noyes - solid outing. Want to see more aggressive.
Bigelow - Good game, didn't try to do too much.
Walz - Really liking what I am seeing so far. Some really good, quick reads passing. Played aggressive. Can be that classic big man that eventually develops into a really good player in jr and sr. season.
Soulis - showed some flashes. High ceiling.
Tyne will score some points for us.
Roche - was Roche, keep looking for your opportunities.
Overall, I think quite a few of us thought we would move the ball better, and we did. Offense looked much quicker, ball moved much quicker.
TouchéHaha I’m not even betting this one. I think we all know how tonight is going to go.
we're better without Burton ... now that we have King and Hunt. we'd be looking incredible with the 3 of them together.I think we’re better without Burton. I like fast-paced offense.
Yeah, the last 5 plus minutes was not good. I'm glad he let all of the players get a little run but whew that was not pretty. Quite frankly, Jack Graham looked like more of a player to me than some of our other recruited freshman.we're better without Burton ... now that we have King and Hunt. we'd be looking incredible with the 3 of them together.

once the freshmen told coach they didn't want the redshirt, you play them in a blowout. but man, those last 7 minutes looked like Mooney took the points and the under! think we scored 4 points. I was picturing Mooney as the jockey on a trotter pulling back on the reigns.
love the new pieces. doesn't look like Mooney has plans for Harris, but he looked pretty impressive in a short run too.
