Georgia State 11/16

[MrTbone]

One of the advantages to being calm and collected is you don’t look like a lunatic for the entire world to see.

But that stuff better be going on in practice and the locker room. It should be four alarm fire after those defensive efforts. Otherwise expect more of the same.

Pregame with Golden and Mooney. Grant did say the Utah State performance was unacceptable, but he also said the magic word..."competed." Mooney also says it's "probably fine" that we haven't played our best yet and he's happy that we're "moving in the right direction."

Another good line from CM “Without sacrificing too many minutes from guys that have traditionally played a lot….” I guess that sums up the loyalty factor. I think the time has come to break the tradition. You don’t have to play the same guys because you actually have depth. How about if the guys COMPETE for playing time?

I think the this game and the USU game start at Spids -6 but USU moved up and this one may move down...

But not below 4 unless very heavy betting on GSU...

 

[plydogg]

We missed covering the spread by 17 in each game. Hope the trend doesn't continue

I don’t see any issue with this as long as we’re favored by at least 18 points each game

Wilson plays > 25 mins at off guard, we win. Wilson plays < 25 mins, we lose. From everything read and said, it sounds like we need his D against this backcourt.

From their board:
"For a number of reasons I wish Richmond were coming off a win instead of a loss"

We agree on one thing at least Panther2022!

Its super early, but based on the first two games, this is a line in the sand type of game. I expect to see a very increased level of effort on defense. I expect both Cayo and Burton to have big games and our defensive intensity to be much greater - at least for this game. It's early, but how many seasons in the past have we shot ourselves in the foot in OOC, and then played pretty decent in conference play? Another Mooney trait.

I do fully expect a code red type of game for tonight.

I am very interested to see how any minutes adjustment between Sherod and Zay, and opportunities for Dji and Crabtree.

 

[SpiderDogg]

GA State +7.5. Was 6 earlier this morning

 

[urmite]

Sounds like bettors are paying more attention to Torvik than Pomeroy...

 

[Gallipoli]

This will be a tougher game than most expect. This is supposed to be one of the top teams in the Sun Belt this year.

Their guards are really good. We have big job ahead of us to stop them.

I agree 23. Looks like the hope of an at-large bid could easily fall by the wayside with the way the A10 is faring in OOC games and any other losses by the Spiders when they are favored. Then it will be back to the usual “must win the A10 tournament” to get in story that has been discussed too many times.

The list of available excuses is getting rather short as well. I expect the Robins Center to do all it can to provide the “spark” that the team needs to get energized, but in the end it is going to require real effort on D. Looking forward to it.

Go Spiders!

Go Spiders!

Maybe some of you can provide more encouragement going forward. Let’s go Spiders, I believe in you!

Tonight is pretty big. We play a tough non conference game and at home at Georgia State is probably on the easier side of the slate. Need to get the W tonight.

Is it too early to start drinking?

Is it too early to start drinking?

yes if you live in Hawaii.

Don’t worry gcarter52 I will be there cheering on the home team. That is more support and encouragement than a post in a Forum. Hopefully the players are spending time practicing and not reading this content anyway.

Good thing I’m right here in Richmond then. Let’s go Spiders!

Hopefully they’re practicing defense, or perhaps for the first time learning what it is

It's 5 o'clock somewhere.

the future is bright somewhere

Georgia State was once coached by Richmond Hall of Famer, Michael Perry.

 

[Spider B]

One thing is for sure: If we lose this game, this board will be in full melt down mode.

 

[SpiderK]

They sure look a lot more athletic than we do.

 

[ncspiderfan]

They just said on radio, it looks like Wilson will start tonight.

 

[CH_Spider]

Sherod not starting made a difference.

 

[whampas]

Sure wish he could find his shot. Miss him hitting those 3s.

 

[Gallipoli]

Wilson started. Sherrod came in at 5 minutes.

 

[whampas]

Wilson started. Sherrod came in at 5 minutes.

And is 2 for 3 on 3s.

 

[whampas]

2 for 4

 

[Gallipoli]

Our guys are playing with confidence.

 

[Gallipoli]

Bailey looks good.

 

[CH_Spider]

Looks much better than the NCCU game

 

[Gallipoli]

Love the substitutions. Ten guys have played, eight have scored.

 

[Long Island Spiders]

Burton and Wilson! And Grace!

they look like a team tonight. Let’s gooo

 

[CH_Spider]

That was a fantastic half of basketball. Keep it up in the 2nd!

This is finally the team we’ve all been excited about seeing play during the off-season.

 

[whampas]

That was a fantastic half of basketball. Keep it up in the 2nd!

Crucial that we match their energy and points in the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half. That would go a long ways to taking their will away.

 

[Gallipoli]

We need to pick up our defensive intensity.
