Not a surprise. He's been our best player since he got here. One of the best guards in the nation.
clean program, finish over .500, play in the NIT, individual player accolades, blah blah blah.
As long as the cleanliness level is on par with the NCAA appearance level we are golden.
It is you who are out of touch. The general fan base is disgruntled as hell about the state of the program. I know because I go to most every game, I cheer the team, but I also talk and hear the fans around me talk about their frustrations. I'm sure Section 7, right behind the bench is still a happy go lucky place comprised of family members, former players but walk around and talk with the rest of the fans in the building. We all want change and we want it as soon as the season is over.
What are you talking about? This post is about Gilly and his accomplishments. Please stay on subject. If you want to talk about how much you hate Mooney, there are plenty of other post on that subject you can comment on.
Ridiculous. I love Gilyard and what he brings to the team.
If you care for the athlete as much as you say, you must recognize how they are getting short changed by the school and its administration. And I don't care about facilities and airplanes. It's about winning. If the academic side of the school was being held back from attaining its lofty ranking by one or two incompetent people somebody over there would do something. I want the school to excel at everything they do and that includes athletics.
leading the nation in assist to turnover ratio should make a difference.
Play in the NIT? That would be an improvement from most years.
I would classify his play this season as good to disappointing
Curious, how long have you been around this school either as a student, fan, or (most likely) an employee? I'm willing to bet that your connection to UR has only been during Mooney's tenure and your only knowledge of our athletic history is from archives and clippings.
Very true. His play is all A-10 at times and in games and at other times he kind of disappears and it is disappointing. Lacking in consistency. If he were consistently great, we probably would be better than 16-9.
he's not shooting as well as he has in the past from 2. but he seems to have found his outside shot recently. he's rebounding at an all-time clip. assisting at an all-time high too. steals are as usual. I just don't think he's the problem. I think your frustrations are misplaced.
his name is literally UR80sfan.

Once again, this is not the topic of the tread, but I will address it anyway.in a discussion about Spiders that played pro ball in our history a few months ago he was literally trying to throw out a list of players from the 80s saying he "didn't know if they played for Mooney or not"
Player Development
Mooney (and many others on this board) always say that older college basketball teams are better. If players continuously develop and improve, this should be true. For our team, can we really say that this coaching staff improves its players? Some examples from our older players: Gilyard...
