Mens: Fla Tech in the Gulf Coast Classic - Monday 11/25 - 6pm - on fabulous FloHoops

[Section9.RowD]

Looking to go to 2-0 against D2 competition. The Panthers are currently 0-2 against D2 or lower competition.

Spiders 76 Panthers 58.

For those who didn't watch the whole postgame last night, JOC asked Mooney about the MTE situation. He talks about how so much has changed and how the fields for these used to be set much sooner, of course avoiding the fact that our field was by far the last one to be announced, and that VCU and others already have MTEs lined up not just for 2025, but 2026.

I think the Mooney response comes down to “if you say it enough maybe it gets accepted as the truth.” That being said, scheduling isn’t the key issue with the program at this point.

Hmmm, doesn't that sound familiar!

I wish we had local media that would point out every new coach at VCU is eating our lunch and they schedule these MTE's and why he is in bed with Gazelle group only??

Even as bad as we are, that sounds like a horribly close result for us.

Right, but the scheduling is an area, like many areas that just slip for some reason - and the answer is: IT IS SO HARD. Waaaahhhh.

We should be able to score 120 on a D2 team. A bad d2 team it appears.

That clip doesn’t show JOC question. It was specific to Spiders & this MTE. JOC asks too many open ended questions imo but this 1 wasn’t. Moon clearly didn’t want to answer it and gave some generic response about mte trends.

 

[GKiller]

Lol i think if he asked about Gazelle he’d be blackballed forever. Like the no handshake that some players get, but JOC’s would be perpetual.

 

[SFspidur]

Gazelle doesn't even want us anymore, so we're having to shack up with BDG.

 

[MDspider8]

All three games are going to be on FloHoops!! Yay!! $30 a month is a STEAL!!

Is it really $30? Damn. I still refuse to find out because they won't tell you the price until you create an account. I know they used to have a discounted rate via the CAA, but not sure if they're still doing that.

Geez, downgraded again

Yep - the standard link is $150 upfront for a year or $30/month.

You're right though, seems like if you go through this link, you get a discount. Goes down to $20/month.

 

[spiderman]

I'm going to analyze box scores and count on the eyes of you Flo supporters for this one.
can't believe the next non-Flo game is 12/8. long break.

 

[MDspider8]

It's a bummer, b/c in a competive season playing LA Tech on a neutral would be a very solid OOC game for us - they're 83 in Kenpom, so a solid Q2 game.

Sadly I'm 90% sure tomorrow I am going to hit CANCEL on my Delta ticket I bought for this tourney in September. Just don't think I can rationalize taking the time off from work and family for the Monday/Tuesday games since I was already planning to fly back to the RVA on Wed morning.

I remain all-in with ~ 8 other friends however to attend the Miracle on the Plains scheduled at noon on 12/8.

It’s too bad because Thanksgiving week is a pretty great week to catch some afternoon hoops. But let’s be honest this is an appropriate tournament for Flo.

All in on the radio broadcast for this “tournament”. Hope the Flo faithful can describe the great fluidity of the games….

 

[plydogg]

Thanks for that link MD. I’ll be using that to save $10.

Also just a reminder to everybody that the football game against William & Mary this Saturday is on Flo. If you sign up you might as well do it now (or by kickoff) and you’ll get that game + all 4 basketball games

I'm missing link. all I get is screen shot of pricing. Can you repost? Thanks!

I can confirm that I was able to sign up for $20 through that link and have access.

Be sure to cancel (you should be able to cancel right away and still have access through the full 30 day period)

 

[Eight Legger]

I can't believe that we won the A-10 regular season championship THIS CALENDAR YEAR. It feels like about a million years ago now. Every third game is against a D2 team. We can barely score 50 points against D1 opposition. No one can shoot. We don't play defense. Can't watch our games without paying for some third-rate streaming crap. Feels like basketball season has already ended.

 

[SFspidur]

Flo is streaming the football game for free on YouTube, so you don't need the sub for that.

I’m going to pretend you didn’t say that so I can pretend to justify my purchase.

You should binge the non-Spider games in the event plus whatever else is on Flo over the next month to bring your per-game cost way way down.

Binge watching Flo, isn’t that some sort of torture treatment? /s

 

[spiderstudent17]

 

[SpiderGuy]

So Flo is the only option for the tourney? Guessing can’t watch on ESPN +?

 

[SpiderGuy]

I’m going to the football game Saturday, but note that MASN is also doing tv coverage.

 

[Spider2020]

I believe the last time I had to subscribe to Flo, I used my @richmond.edu email, and it gave me a student discount (even though I was an alum by this point). Not sure if that still works but that’s also worth a try.

 

[Eight Legger]

I don't know that I would pay to watch any of these games if they were being played in my driveway.

That was specifically outlawed at the Geneva Conventions.

Pathetic.

 

[SFspidur]

JOC declined to use any of his column inches to push back on the narrative that this is hard.

Far from magnetic field, Spiders will try to find their footing in Florida

Richmond plays Division II Florida Tech Monday, and then meets Louisiana Tech Tuesday and Ball State Wednesday.

How or maybe the better question is why do you play a team where ESPN gives you a 99% chance of wining?

I just signed up for a month of FloHoops today - confirmed that if you use a .edu email, a month costs $10 instead of $30. Use your @richmond.edu email if you sign up!
