Goose is best defensive player. He is from Finland. What does that mean to everybody ? Means something to me. Basketball is funny sport I think. Who knows , we can win a10 end of year or lose in first round, and either one not a surprise,
Unfortunately, I think we already know which is the better team – it's the one that hired a new coach and signed four transfer starters over the summer, not the one with the 17-year head coach and four guys who have been here for five or six years.
just fyi ... once a shot goes up nobody has possession. the 3 seconds count resets to 0. the count starts again if an offensive player regains possession.
personally, I do blame them. I don't care about other missed calls. yes, they made errors both ways. yes, there were other moments when we could have done more to win anyway. but with 23 seconds left, that kid took 5 steps to tie the game.
The last minute of regulation was a clinic in Mooney basketball. Try to take the air out of the ball under a minute when we have had trouble all night getting into our offense, end up with a shot clock violation. Have a chance to win it at the end of regulation, don't even get a shot off.
Unfortunately refs in college and NBA almost never call walks, they can't seem to see the upper body/arms (looking for contact/fouls) and the steps at the same time. Yes no call sucked, but we did not get the slow mo replay of Cayo's feet either.
I am confident that Nelson is the next great small guard at Richmond. The problem is going to be that Mooney will spend at least 1/2 a season (maybe more) going with Wilson. Mooney will do this because he is Mooney. We have seen him coach for 17-years, and I am confident that I can predict his decision-making patterns.
No question in my mind, Mason would beat us again in the A-10 tourney. Mark this game down for a preview of what our A-10 ending tournament game will look like. We will play really good for 38 minutes, but the other team will hang right with us. End of game they will rip our hearts out because they will execute and we won't.
Right, yeah, if that is your take away from this game, Wow. Yeah, the refs sucked, we benefitted from all of that suckiness as well, but some conveniently forget that. This team has shown us a pattern of how they operate in close games, that is the take away. Again.
If you need a bucket to win or tie, I clear out for Golden and let him work. First choice, second choice, & third choice. Fourth choice, Golden & Gilyard 2-man game. We haven't seen much (if any) of this, but Golden would give you the best chance of achieving the goal.
I think the announcers even showed that ... in one of the 900 stats they put on the screen.
agreed the Cayo basket shouldn't have counted, but that was in overtime after the game should have ended.
Interesting, the game broadcast microphones caught some GMU folks really yelling at Burton - did not hear anything profane, but guys screaming Quit Complaining Burton, etc, etc.
On TV, all you could hear was one fan (with the most annoying voice on the planet), providing his commentary the entire game.
yeah - it's wasn't a large crowd .. and they weren't particuarly into the game .. but just found may parts of the evening annoying and I think would have generally felt the same even if we won ..
Wait, you mean to tell me, we should be going to the player with 2000 plus points in his career, who collects most of his points via high percentage shots close to the rim at the end of games. Please tell me more about this radical plan you propose.
Expound on that, what did you see or hear there last night to make you feel that way?
It started with a 70+ year old guy verbally accosting my friend and I who had our masks down while having a sip of a puchased beverage ... but probably not worth going down that path too much ... time to focus on LaSalle.
Honest question… why now do the majority on the board think Coach will play a Fr next season over other older guys? Maybe not a majority but several…Yes I know we won’t have as many options next season. I believe you are right Jason will be really good and in fact I give him the nod personally over Zay. With that being said…I think Gus returns & you could have a big lineup with not even starting Zay or Jason. Dji, Gus, and Tyler would be a big set of guards and wing. Maybe just maybe one of those irons that in the transfer fire pans out(all I can say at this time) and we could have a solid lineup. Or put Jason in that lineup above with 3 guards Tyler at 4 and player X at the 5. That gives you Grace and Waltz as solid backups. That’s a solid lineup plus Mo, and Marcus with solid minutes.
