Game Thread / VCU #2 Sat 6pm CBS sports network - Redout
- Thread starter Section9.RowD
- Start date
We did it. Spiders on top baby!!! Let the party begin!!
Alright Mooney, you beat the bastards. Now own them for the rest of your career.
Really like this group! Extremely tough - - physically and mentally. I feel like VCU played as well as they can and we simply answered every shot. We have shrunk up a lot of times when they turn up the pressure and the physicality, but this group stepped up.
Very exciting, great win. Good game by all the starters. King is insane!
YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Richmond's best lineups were any VCU lineup with Nelson in it.
Kid is not an A10 player. I say this in all seriousness. He should transfer to Wagner.
Benedict Nelson already transferred down once. Probably needs to do so again.
Stealing this from Drunk John Hardt on Twitter, but everyone on this board had as many points as Nelson today, and less turnovers 😉
I think the VCU staff can do that themselves. The team bus is already heading back to the dump anyways.
I don't think I have ever seen a Spider team shoot like that, ever. An unconscious streak. Ended of course by a shot clock violation because....
I would rather play VCU than either of Dayton or Loyola.
Gotta finish this off. 2 more games.

I don't know if you guys know this, but you can buy season tickets, and sell the games you don't need or want! At like a 300,000% profit! Then you're guaranteed tickets to the rivalry game.
Some big time shots all 2nd half across the board really. Every starter. Hunt 3 after vcu run early in 2nd I thought was really key even tho lot of time left.
Dji maybe had his worst half of season imo but who cares what a monster 2nd and just some great finishing.
Only way Mooney ever been out of timeouts that early is his players taking them! Which I think were smart to’s being in the traps.
Not sure I agree about rather seeing vcu again in a10. They have a way of 1 upping us. But we got some other work to do first anyway & deal w it later.
Go Spiders

This sounds unbelievable to me. I cannot fathom such a plan.
Great win, what a reception for Nelson as he dribbled around aimlessly on the court. Those VCU guards are so dirty with how they extend their off arm on every drive, yet never gets called.
Yes, Delonnie hit huge shots all game. One in similar spot in 1st half to get UR's offense finally going, then that huge 3 as well as a 3 point play, and made all his FTs. He was huge all game.
He’s still dribbling around somewhere. Such an upgrade we got at guards - all 3 of ours.
Well congratulations to our cross town nemesis! Hec of a game! We were there in section 14 and it was indeed a terrific game except that we lost! Thank the good Lord King is graduating. I believe he shot with his eyes closed and made all those threes. You all are well positioned for the tourney - when that inside out game is rolling it will be hard to stop you all. My only regret was not catching up with @BillyWayne ! Really don’t want to play you all or Loyola in the tourney. Congrats again!
I wasn't there but vcu fans are making it sound like our reception for Nelson was vulgar and inappropriate. I assume it's just sour grapes from losers. Someone fill me in.
Not to get ahead of ourselves, but if we beat Joes on Wednesday we lock in the #1 seed. So what does Mooney do for the last game against GMU? Play all out to keep sharp and momentum going? Or dial it back somewhat to minimize injury risk and give starters some rest. My preference is the latter but pros and cons of each approach.
If we win Wednesday, we need to go all out to win Saturday too. End of story.
On TV it just sounded like booing every time he had the ball. Nothing wrong with that considering. Hard to tell if something worse though in person.
No way we’d dial back. We r still playing for at large even if odds r low.
