Looking to take our winning streak to 6 and move to 3-0 in the conference. Spiders 69-63.

Big early game. Wish Mason had won last night, but I feel good about the fact that they should have won if they'd just made one three-pointer. On the flip side, that probably means they will make about 10 Saturday. But we should have a good crowd. Starting 3-0 would be a nice step.
Does Skinn still employ English's three true outcomes philosophy on offense (threes, dunks or layups only, almost no two-point jumpers)? I haven't watched them enough to know.
most of our guys either go to the rim or shoot 3's.
King and Bigelow do shoot fadeaway midrange jumpers with some success.
Neal shoots those 12-14 foot floaters, which analytics say aren't advised.
Why am I worried that Darius Maddox and Austin Ball are going to combine for 37 points and a game winner???
Home game, lets keep that defensive intensity. One thing on the defense, last season I remembered being very impressed with the D at the beginning, and praising Boyden, who seemed to be credited for being the driver on D. Then we seemed to revert as the season went on. This season the D seems to be getting better and the rotation very geared to it as another poster pointed out. Hoping to see continuance and this become a habit for the guys.

Mason let one slip away at home against VCU. So, I suspect they will come in hungry. Hopefully, we can match the intensity from the jump.
Hunt likely back as a starter tonight. Personally, I’m hesitant about messing with what was working - and I liked Hunt’s energy off the bench. But we will see
Bigalow block was outstanding with the hesitation to time it out.
Guards have been great. Forwards have been good. Only complaint is I’d like to get more out of our wings
Really ? What else do you want ?
Ridiculous first half. Keep playing defense and we should finish this one in the second half.
Think he was mad they gave GMU the timeout after the ball was already inbounds. Not sure though.
Ridiculous they have that ball to gmu. Terrible.
Huge free throws from Bailey. Really liking this team!
3-0. Finding a way. Good grit! #RollSpide
That was another fun one. I’m not even upset that we blew a big lead because we weren’t going to win by 20 or anything. They came back like I figured they would but we did enough to hold them off. King is amazing, Dji was clutch, we overcame some questionable non-calls down the stretch and got another W, which is all that matters.
I think Kelly scoring 7 before he fouled out and then 6 after he fouled out made it tough…
Yes. Solid win. Bigs with the huge boards end of game. Way to hang on at the end.
