Did Roche really only get 3 shots up the entire game?

When it comes to playing down to bad competition, no one does it better than Christopher Mooney.Thx for clarification. Who would have thunk prior to the season start & all the complaining about soft OOC schedule. I guess not soft enough.
He was only really open on one of them too. They had a guy up in his grill every time he got the ball. Lots of guys were jacking up contested 3’s early in the shot clock. Mooney was visibly frustrated and the bad shot selection prompted multiple subs down the stretch. Neskovic in particular was a real negativeDid Roche really only get 3 shots up the entire game?

You play in a D grade MTE, you get the refs who work 10 games a year.
But apparently La Tech is the favorite to win Conference USA! So that makes it all ok.
Lose to Marist.
Moon t’d up at end of game and has to be restrained.
There really is a glitch in the Matrix. It’s like a sitcom clip show of lowlights from the Moon era.
I’m trying to think of others we can expect.
1-7 since we cut down the nets.Actually it’s even worse. We’re 1-4 against D-1 teams
Maybe the most egregious part about this is we NEVER got the timeout. The refs called the technical and maybe they said they “granted” the timeout, but we were given no time to huddle or scheme anything (not that it would have mattered)I can help you guys out.
LA Tech gets the ball with about 50 seconds left. We almost steal it so they call a TO with 27.4 left and 5 on the shot clock.
They miss a 3 but get the rebound. Difference between game and shot clock is less than 1 second.
Then they wind clock and end up missing an open jumper from the elbow with 2.4 left. Referee calls a foul (even on replay I’m not seeing anything) on the rebound and LA Tech gets 2 free throws.
They miss the first and make the second. Mooney is screaming for time out (you can hear it on the broadcast) and refs refuse to grant it. They finally begrudgingly give it to him. He says something typically heard from a VCU fan and gets T’d up.
Guy makes both free throws. Down 3 Hunt throws up a half court shot that barely makes it to the free throw line.
I’m watching the Alabama-Houston game now. If this was a foul in this game both teams would be fouled out 90 seconds in.
I agree if team was playing better with expected wins against Marist and Bucknell progress would be more the word after a close loss against a favored La tech team. Like to see team 4-1 before league play starts to feel team could be moving in right direction. I wouldn't bet on it, but let's first play it out. 👍Lot's to work on, but believe we did make progress today.
Nah - beat Auburn for their only loss all season, win-out and we're playing in Dayton on Tuesday in a play-in gameNot even December and we have lost any hope of an at-large bid.
Groundhog Day....
Ah hope. How quaint.Nah - beat Auburn for their only loss all season, win-out and we're playing in Dayton on Tuesday in a play-in game
Agreed. Blaming the game on one play, granted - a big play - is never the answer. Blame it on poor shooting - again. We shot 6-29 from 3. Blame it on our best shooter and scorer the past 2-3 games (Roche) only getting 3 shots. Blame it lack of rebounding down the stretch, etc. Yes - the call was bad. The technical didn't help at all. But should we have been in this position being up 8 at halftime?Sounds like a bullshit call, but still never should have been that close
I love the fire but it was not the time for the tech, we still had a chance to steal that win, oh well!This season has been rough, and there's lots to grouse about with respect to Mooney. But I don't mind the Technical. We need our guys to show maximum effort and heart. Having the Coach fired up is a good thing in the long run.
