Let's end the season with a Power 6 run .. Spiders 72-65.

Thanks for creating the thread. We have been waiting.

 

[Gallipoli]

Apparently, Tech has two good guards that can go off at anytime.

 

[Eight Legger]

Well then let's turn them off and take out their batteries.

 

[Gallipoli]

Was King injured in the St. Joe's or Mason game? One may conclude we have had time to rest and recover.

 

[Sandbridge Spider]

Great question
If he hits his first shot
Look for 30 plus

No

 

[KE Spider]

Most of us chafe over the preferential treatment the P6 receives in publicity (ala FBS/FCS football}, rules (NIT selection/home criteria particularly}, and NET rating tool.

Spiders have our chance as A10 Regular Season Champs v # 8 in ACC to prove non P6s are worthy opponents. Lets make this happen tonight. Tired of the P6 arrogance.

Go Spiders!

 

[MDspider8]

Lot of Hokies fans dressed as empty seats tonight. Broadcast is showing some totally empty sections. Looks like the students showed up though.

 

[plydogg]

Let’s beat the damn Hokies!

 

[BOSRIC]

Anyone else’s feed suck? Also Robins Center much nicer than that place.

 

[MDspider8]

This game has 0 energy to it. A bummer that these P5 schools automatically have to host and don’t even show up for the game.

 

[gospidersgo]

Ugly ugly start

 

[whampas]

Apparently, offense didn't travel.

 

[I-M-UR]

Wow this is bad…. I’ve gotten ‘Richmond sucks’ text from three friends with no rooting interest….and I hate to admit it but so far they are right

 

[BOSRIC]

lol, total if 7 points in 7 minutes

 

[GKiller]

RC easily better. Cassell pretty old and designed in style u would not do again. Similar to WV coliseum.

 

[SpiderGuy]

The commentators are awful.

 

[gospidersgo]

Vicious dunk by Bigs, love that

 

[whampas]

VT sucks worse.

 

[I-M-UR]

So obvious our under sized guards can’t finish at the rim. Any defense and they dribble out

 

[whampas]

Keep an eye on the refs.

 

[I-M-UR]

Keep an eye on the refs.

Yep we have 5 fouls tech 2. Hope it’s not a trend

 

[plydogg]

The commentators are awful.

Did you know one of them is 7 years older than the other? You might have missed it

 

[SpiderGuy]

Have heard a lot but not much about this game.

 

[SpiderGuy]

Our interior defense is awol.

 

[whampas]

King has lost the magic. We're offensively inept.

 

[I-M-UR]

No box out again

 

[Spider2020]

We cannot win if King doesn’t score. And foul trouble is making us play defense scared

 

[spider23]

COY decided to call TO now before tech went up 10. Yes, struggle for our guards.

 

[Dr. Spidey]

With a normal King, we would destroy this weak Tech team.

 

[spider23]

Yes Cory Alexander loves to talk about himself.

 

[whampas]

Our wings need to get to the rim.

 

[GKiller]

COY decided to call TO now before tech went up 10. Yes, struggle for our guards.

I was hoping for experimental timeouts with the experimental NIT rules. Such as b4 it gets to a 18-4 run.

 

[whampas]

VT sucks worse.

Maybe not.

 

[SpiderDad75]

Dji boxes out Poteat…foul. Dji gets bulldozed…foul. Zay’s 2 fouls were awful too.

 

[SpiderGuy]

We have trouble holding leads. Tonight and last week in both halves against St Joe.

 

[Spider Bob79]

Dji boxes out Poteat…foul. Dji gets bulldozed…foul. Zay’s 2 fouls were awful too.

Agreed! All Dji did was block out. Ridiculous foul calls!

 

[Spider Bob79]

The no offensive rebound plan is on display.
