Mooney press conference. Says the guys are feeling better. Goose is practicing today, but not 5-on-5 yet. Hoping he's ready for Toledo game.

I like the comments that Burton can rebound better and be an elite rebounder. he's already our best, but I also think he can be better and we need him to since we don't have other plus rebounders.
I have barely watched or listened to Mooney last few years, mostly because not much to say. Hate clicking on and watching, it kind of humanizes him.
Gilly on his 7 turnovers - "Coach asked if I was throwing the game"
I'm showing this game as 12/5, not 12/4. Just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out if it was cancelled or espn decided not to list our games anymore 
Very early morning leaving the RVA via DTW to DES and then close to a two hour drive to Cedar Falls. Expected our Spiders to be 6-2 or 7-1 when booking this trip but excited to see Gilly get a record that will likely never be broken (and Spiders making it to .500 in their Iowa adventures)
I hope you put in extra game prep today. Make this your best effort. It's all on your shoulders.
Early lead for fan of the year!
Also glad you know the game is on 12/5!
I wonder if they will do a very brief announcement and remove the ball when the record is broken?
Pressure is already on for putting the wrong date in the thread title...
Agreed. We aren’t in the conversation yet. Need to put together my 8 game win streak with a good road victory today. Let’s go!
I'm feeling good about this one, I think Spiders close this one out, win by 1 to 3 points. Gilly gets the steal record early, scores 24 and generally is best player on the court outshining Burton and Green. Golden with 16 points.
Two easy flights and a quick 90 min drive through brown flat corn fields and I’ve arrived. Sunken modern arena sort of like VCU and attached to what appears to be their football dome and in the middle of nowhere.
Panthers by 12. That should fix the jinx.Did you just jinx us
Yep. They certainly have to win the last 4 games as it is.
I’d say wing the next four and winning the conference title handily then maybe if we lose in the conference tournament semi finals
Love to see Tyler come out strong after the quiet showing against Wofford.
Outside of one possession feel like we have played great defense so far. Liking the intensity

feeling so anxious for Gilly to get this next steal. I think it will be quite the weight off his shoulders when it is finally completed.
8 of our last 9 shots were 3 point attempts. All of those were misses except the GG layup. Mostly poor execution on offense in that sequence.
Okay, when I said it was nice to see Tyler get going, I didn’t mean he should be the only one.
And how does Sherod have five boards already? The dude can’t even jump.

Grant still looks very uncomfortable around the basket much more often than he should after six years. Needs to just take it strong to the hoop instead of these weird twisting over the shoulder shots.
