Mens - SLU @RC - Saturday 1/18 2:30 PM USA network

[Section9.RowD]

SLU got beat bad by VCU Tuesday night so expect they are going to be ready to rebound Saturday afternoon. No prediction on score.

I watched some of VCU vs St L game on tv. VCU pulled down 18 offensive rebounds. Think about that. A dream scenario. St L looked decent with good shooters. No game will be easy for us.

I'm going, against my better judgment though.

SLU shot 46% from the field to VCU's 42% and SLU had 23 FT's to VCU's 10 so how did they get blown away?

VCU took 72 shots and SLU only got 37 off. Hard to lose that way!

Did 22 offensive rebounds help with that?

prediction - Soulis plays at least 10 minutes and either Walz or Beagle or both get into foul trouble given Avila's big body

 

[Dr. Spidey]

Soulis is a beanstalk

Avila likes to play outside

 

[Section9.RowD]

Avila likes to play outside

Yeah but is also crafty albeit slow driving in ... we'll see

I like SLU -6. Guess now up to -7. I've been liking UR in A10 mainly bc the A10 is overrated & also backing Sec9.

I'd love to see the stat on playing opponent immediately after VCU beats them. It's got to be a terrible record. Which u expect to some degree. Conversely, it feels like we send opponents into VCU after a W against us. We do the opposite. Anecdotally. Again I'd like to see the numbers. VCU takes care of business, UR doesn't. When a team is playing VCU and UR back to back in some fashion. Feels even worse than each teams normal winning %. It can make the next game a little easier or harder depending on result of prior game imo. vcu makes it harder on us. we make it easier on them. It's like we're playing each other!

Anyway we're in that situation today. Give me those Bills.

I dunno. Soulis only getting spot minutes this year. Not much consistency in him getting into games.

 

[Section9.RowD]

Hallock sitting on front row of students section - around 20 students here 20 minute before game time

 

[fan2011]

GW can't make a single free throw, and now I have to watch GW/GMU overtime instead of the spiders.

I would strongly prefer all our games were on ESPN+

 

[GKiller]

& that game was running late as is.
1 of our few TV games and we get battle of the Georges. Thank goodness we don’t have the Goo Moo color guy.

 

[SFspidur]

Spiders 1-for-10 from the field and only down 4. 🙃

 

[Section9.RowD]

small hands continue to be clear problem

 

[ur2K]

This could be a good day for our crack social media team to maybe post a score or a highlight on Twitter? Not a single game related post

 

[GKiller]

Now double OT for the George’s. Castro makes 2 fts to tie after missing 2 fts when he only needed 1 to win in reg.

Might miss entire 1st half. Could be a good thing.

Especially with TV down. But typical.

First half completely missed.

 

[GKiller]

First half completely missed.

GW shoulda won this game. More of a choke job than their game at RC. I’m invested in this game more than I thought lol.

Meanwhile 1 of Mooney’s best shooting teams ever continues to shoot the lights out.

 

[localspider]

Maybe shoot better with lights out.

 

[whampas]

Mooney rules of basketball:
1. If you can't shoot the 3 and make it, keep firing away.

 

[MDspider8]

Love the energy right now. Dusan refusing to be denied, AP making great plays on both ends.

Let’s see if we can get enough stops to win this one. SLU really helping us out missing all those FT’s.

 

[fan2011]

I think we have only taken 3 threes so far in the second half and are actually focusing on getting into the lane. Seems to be working well, wish we did this all the time.

 

[bullfrog91]

Another 4 minutes drought at the end...could be kiss of death this game too

 

[MDspider8]

Yet again, failing to execute in late clock situations. Possession to nowhere leads to taking a timeout with 6 seconds left. Out of timeout, can’t even successfully run a play to get that shot off.

 

[Dr. Spidey]

When I saw that we were up 8 with 5 minutes I knew Mooney would do something

 

[fan2011]

Can't believe how many times we stepped out of bounds in the final minutes.

 

[whampas]

Mooney is such a bad end of game coach. He got schooled by SLU coach.
