First of our final 4 regular season games can could see us being +10 for all of them .. However, given Lange is probably the worst coach in the league and they typically play down to the competition, I think we extend our mini streak to 3 games on Saturday. Spiders 67 - Flapping Hawks 65.

No no no, I was told by a Philly based poster on here that Lange was great, comes from Philly, Nova coaching tree, etc. I tend to believe your evaluation more 😀

13.5 line .. what disrespect ...

I think Gkiller should become Coachkiller when we win today which could become the dagger for Lange ..

Ha Lange out immediately if they lose

Fire Lange, Extend Mooney

 

[8legs1dream]

well, we probably shouldn't let them shoot 63% from three the rest of the game if we want a chance to COMPETE

 

[Dr. Spidey]

We make St Joes look like the 2024 Huskies

 

[fan2011]

The only shots we can get are mid-range jumpers, the wort shot in the game. Not working.

Beagle's in the dog house big time

Yes, considering how lost Soulis is on the court. Bet you B Artis broke a bone in his foot and out for the
year.

Looks like the tweet with a typo got deleted - we had a whopping three game tweets today, now 2.

 

[Eight Legger]

Quality effort so far! Maybe we can lose by 40.

We have already lost by 40 this season, dream bigger

 

[Dr. Spidey]

Anything within 40 is considered competing for us

Maybe, DOGE should pay the Spider bb program a visit? I kid....

 

[72Spider]

Hey, we won the second half!

 

[SpiderGuy]

All season we don’t guard 3 point shooters. Today we especially ran into a hot shooting team, and they made so many wide open 3’s my neck started hurting. Good shooting teams make Moon’s defense look like something you’d see on a middle school team.

 

[whampas]

Moon’s defense. Two words that don't belong together.

 

[bongturk]

Moon’s defense. Two words that don't belong together.

I would add and Moon's offense.

 

[MrTbone]

I recorded the game. We didn’t look very good.

I’d prefer it if we were better.

 

[UR79&Peanuts]

Pathetic

 

[Anachnid]

Meanwhile, across town…..

 

[SpiderAlways]

Vcu is good again and again we are not

Watching 20 years of CM’s defense tells me I don’t need to listen to his explanation of difficulties of playing against St J’s offense. All one has to do is watch games on tv or live, and the weaknesses on defense are obvious and glaring. And it’ll never change until we have a new coach.

His face in the freeze frame of this clip kinda says it all.

Not even close.

Tension has now officially made Moon’s list

Fluidity
Competed
Tension

 

[MrTbone]

SJU had zero tension, they were up by 15 most of the game. Not much of a shock there.

I have an suggestion… change defenses and maybe change them each possession.

 

[urfan1]

I have an suggestion… change defenses and maybe change them each possession.

Or even mid-possession, my 8 to 10 yo's could do it, not that hard.

 

[whampas]

I have an suggestion… change defenses and maybe change them each possession.

Or pick one and learn to play it.

 

[CarolinaSpider]

Even announcers made comment at half, Mooney needed to change up defenses.
With our small guards and poor hedging on screens, teams know if they are patient,
they will get a guard on one of these switches. Tarrant ran a very effective 3-2 zone
that created traps and turnovers.

He never appears upset after a loss. Just another game. He's got several years left so why sweat it, right?

I see no reason not to go back to straight man defense. Maybe you can de-risk some of this teams lack of athleticism with a switching/zone setup but with really small guards you’re just introducing a size/matchup risk.
