Have to pull for the players .....tough season for us as fans is nothing compared to how the players feel.......that is why I pull for them to win every game........won't know until the final buzzer sounds and under no illusion....but want a win.................

Its a tough situation but unfortunately they will keep having that feeling until we get a new coach in there. Winning a big one on the road against Saint Louis doesn't help them get a new coach.

 

[SpiderK]

I might guard Bess, but I am not a 1.2 million coach. What do I know.

 

[SpiderK]

Only 3 minutes to lose the lead

 

[SpiderK]

Jake and Andre have to do something!! Anything!!

 

[Spider B]

Play Sal. 6’7” may help us get a defensive rebound.

 

[kneepadmckinney]

EFFFING BOX OUT!!!!!!

 

[kneepadmckinney]

Also, we might want a sub this half. Also, Cayo needs to stop playing like a lace doily this half. Also, Noah Yates needs to never shoot.

 

[spider23]

I think SLU has 256 offensive rebounds. We are so damn soft.

 

[spider23]

This SLU team is just terrible offensively. Slow ball movement then one on one, and they still get an open shot - but they cannot shoot. A10 is miserable this year.

 

[Spider2020]

I wish we had 3 more Cayo’s. He’s so efficient

 

[gospidersgo]

I hope Legger didn't drop his life savings on this game...

 

[BSHSpider15]

Get ready for all the truthers to come out of the woodworks.

 

[PhillySpider]

We are saving our timeouts for what exactly? Til we are behind?

 

[72Spider]

What a collapse! Unbelievable, trying to give this one away.

 

[PhillySpider]

Golden has to go get that pass. He just stood there.

 

[SpiderK]

This could be the biggest UR choke of all time.

 

[nathanw19]

Let’s pull it out boys!!!

 

[72Spider]

Obvious Mooney hasn't worked on attacking the press in practice. Embarassing.

 

[nathanw19]

Wojcik has struggled some, but that was a HUGE defensive play!

 

[plydogg]

This could be the biggest UR choke of all time.

The Richmond vs. Miami NIT game would like a word with you

 

[Ferrum Spider]

Wojcik has struggled some, but that was a HUGE defensive play!

Surprised they didn’t blow the whistle considering the quality of A-10 refs.

 

[SpiderK]

Does this win get us in the NCAA as an at large?

 

[nathanw19]

Does this win get us in the NCAA as an at large?

No, but I prefer watching us win than lose.

 

[SpiderK]

The Richmond vs. Miami NIT game would like a word with you

Up 12 with two minutes to go?

 

[PhillySpider]

Kudos to the kids. Leave the coach in St. Louis.

 

[nathanw19]

And that was maybe THE worst end of game out of bounds play I’ve ever seen.

Spiders win despite Mooney!

 

[spiders13]

Was so frustrated with wojik, then that fantastic defensive play.

 

[BSHSpider15]

I know this is a big win for the kids but it really isn't good for the program long term. We have seen this movie before with Mooney, team struggles for a while then gets a big win and that is enough to justify Mooney staying. Unfortunately this win I don't think helps us. If we keep winning all that does is give Hardt a reason to keep Mooney and see what happens with Blake Francis and Sherod coming back. We all know that if that is the case that we will just be let down by this team again next year and the cycle starts all over again.

 

[urfan1]

Glad for the guys to experience some success -- especially Jacob. Closest thing to a home game for him.

 

[MolivaManiac]

We good. We back. Roll Spide!

Impressive job by the guys tonight. Team effort.

 

[72Spider]

Congrats guys! Well earned win.

 

[kneepadmckinney]

WTF were Wojcik and Cayo and Golden doing down the stretch? Seriously.

I am 100% certain Cayo did not do that last inbounds play according to the plan. Or maybe the last resort was throw it high to Golden, and Golden stood and watched it.

 

[kneepadmckinney]

I am glad we won though.

[SpiderK]

Near perfect shooting night to overcome 15 turnovers and giving up 21 offensive rebounds

 

[spiderstudent17]

I want to start off by saying congrats to the players. I hope they enjoy the win against a tough St. Louis team at their place. First half was great basketball and Spiders looked good most of the game.

But man, even as I type this I still feel - even with 12 point lead with 2 minutes to go - that we never quite had this game in the bag. We were a Wojcik block (great no call) and a Bess 3 point shot hitting the rim at the buzzer from having the biggest collapse I have ever seen in my life. Even when we win, it still feels like we lose. The way we handled the last 2 minutes is all coaching. I hope Hardt doesn't just see the score line, but how it happened. We were out rebounded again and couldn't adjust to the press at the end.

Still, I hope our guys enjoy this win. They absolutely deserves this. But in no way did this game even remotely move the needle from Mooney's hot seat. We shouldn't even be questioning losing when up 12 with 2 minutes left and we were a few inches (Wojcik block and Bess 3 point shot at buzzer) from the biggest collapse I have ever seen.

 

[spider23]

Good for the guys to experience a win.

Two really terrible, god awful coaches going after it tonight. SLU with 0 offense and zero ability to make a shot, BUT our defense so soft and they were literally waltzing in for offensive rebounds. No will to keep guys in front of the dribble or rebounding. Chris Mack would literally have lost his mind with our defensive effort. Like someone said, congrats guys - Leave Moon in St. Louis.

 

[TD4Prez2004]

Out rebounded (expected)
Out coached in the 2nd half (expected)
Out hustled (expected)
Collapse with the press (unexpected for me)

Golden and Gilyard the best two players on the court, Cayo clearly belongs, and then such an incredible drop off that we can’t even go 6 deep, has to be incredibly frustrating... got to be a change.

 

[spider23]

giving up 21 offensive rebounds

Felt like 356 offensive rebounds
