Mens - @ William and Mary Wed 12/18 7pm Flo

[Section9.RowD]

The game two years ago was one of my least favorite Spiders games ever—losing to a bad W&M team at that point felt worse than getting blown out by 45 against Auburn a week ago today.

I’m in Colorado for the week, so I won’t be at this game, but I suspect we'll be the underdog—craziness.

If we lose to the Tribe, it’ll show just how far we’ve fallen and how quickly. I have to think we’re better than W and M.

Richmond 71, WM 66.

Kenpom grades this Tribe 78 Spiders 76

I remember the heady days when I thought / expected that UR could go 12-1 against one of the worst OOC schedules in the country.

2-6 against D1 so far. And this schedule is absolutely atrocious.

W&M is expected to beat UR.

Unreal.

I am not enjoying my time in this alternate reality where we fear William & Mary

No need to worry. Mooney enjoys his direct deposit every month. He’s happy, so the upper crust is happy. It’s all about turning out good kids.

Don’t worry. We should at least get a split this week since we next play VMI after W and M. The way things have played out this season, that would be a good week😜.

Am I reading KenPom correct? Of the OOC games played so far we have the third toughest in the A10?

Less about Auburn and more about extremely weak schedules for the other A10 teams.

Also, non-D1 games do not count on kenpom and Belmont, LATech and Charlotte are “decent” teams. And we only have 2 D1 home games so far, which also contributes.

VCU has yet to play an away game, and only has 1 OOC away game.

Thanks, I thought either you or SF would answer that.

OK so I am in shock about these OOC sos numbers so I looked at Duquesne's schedule. Total trash. All Div. 1 but Depawful is their best game. They're also 3-8 against it.

Loyola also has a really awful schedule and one non-D1 game in there that doesn't even count against how bad it is.

The A10 seems to have adopted the "everyone show up to conference play at 12-1" line of thinking in their OOC scheduling, but many teams didn't get the memo about winning all the games.

 

[spider23]

Yep, Loyola finally played someone (though they did beat Princeton), got spanked, and got trolled with a crying Jordan face imposed on Sister Jean taking L's. Pathetic.

At least no one care about us, and doesn't take effort to troll us. Except for Bob Black and JOC's softball questions. I think that counts. I wish I could get media credentials for a day. And continue to ask hard questions like, "Did you ever think you would be the winningest coach at Richmond when you took the job", and "what is it like looking over and seeing Mark Schmidt on the other sideline", and more.
