Well, at least we got to cut down the nets this year
Quarterfinal Game Thread 1130 Thursday against St. Joes - USA network

Mooney is the worst in game manager ever.
He never feels the time to call a timeout. Team was absolutely gassed. Doesn’t matter that the next whistle was a media timeout.

A lot of Spider fans we haven’t seen since OOC play are firing up SpiderNation right now to get off their bad takes. Let’s finish this game off so they don’t get the chance

He heard your call. Draws the foul and gets 3 from the line

Literally only knows how to call a TO after a made bucket down the stretch. It’s so painful.
They’re going to run that screen play to Reynolds they’ve been running all half. Stop it
Our achillies heal, year in and year out. When you forsake offensive rebounds as practice, it should not be a surprise that the you are not as great on other end either.
Should have never cut the nets down against these guys. Save your celebrations for Brooklyn.
Game. Set. Match. Disappointing end to a surprisingly good season. A bit of a paper tiger.
Not trying to pile on, but it is the same issues over and over. Terrible track record in A10 tournament. Unfortunately I'm not at all suprised by the result. Plenty of history to go on with a few exceptions but CM doesn't get out of the quarters often.
A10 title is MEANINGLESS, a hollow victory. Mooney is just not a good sideline coach and never will be. The sad thing is the I'm not surprised.
I'm so tired of all the disappointments over the last 20 years. Might as well turn down the NIT to avoid another first round loss.

Tough one to swallow in the moment.
Was a fun year overall.
March madness is tough because some times a guy just takes over. Kuddos to Reynolds.

Unfortunate to end like this but was an entertaining, enjoyable season. Down the road guys will feel good of being 1st Spider squad to win regular season title!. Both teams shot poorly from deep but old bug-a-boo giving up 11 O boards leading to a 16-5 2ndCP ad hurt.
Locals should get at least one home NIT game.

best defensive team we have had in over a decade so I can't understand why we didn't trust the guys to get a stop instead of kicking off the intentional foul fiesta at the ~40 second mark. Someone in the media should ask that to the Coach of the Year.

Well, that sucked. Just got defended too hard the last few games and had not enough answers. Reynolds had a great game.
Never foul there with 41 seconds left. Get a stop and tie or win. Let your kids play for god sake
The rhetoric was quite alarming leading up to the GMU game, and the response afterwards had me very worried coming into this game. We looked every bit like those teams that are .500 and shoot themselves in the foot over the years and make you want to pull out your hair.
Quinn came to play on offense, but was a major liability once they rolled screens out on him. We looked unrelaxed most of the game when it tightened up and St. Joes hung around just enough to make a push.
All in all a successfull season considering the expectations, but moral victories are getting old and want more NCAA's. Just hope we can build on it. Picked the wrong year to have a 15-3 record in the A10 despite it being the conference best year in some time. Wasn't angry at any losses this year but man this one ****ing sucks because its the same way we always lose.

Gonna have to hold the rage back on this one. F*ck chris mooney is the best way to sum it up. He’s a joke man idc what anyone says. Put all the money we put into basketball and pay him 2.5 million to be mediocre for the most part and piss down his leg when it matters. In what other business anywhere would this be acceptable? He’s soft as cotton and the team reflects that attitude, said it so many times. How about you take coaching basketball more seriously rather than your fancy suits your spending all that not hard earned money on? Get us a more serious coach man. Season is now a failure and if you view it as anything other than that I have to assume you have a losers mindset. Seems to be a common theme around spider basketball.
Bigelow foul trouble all day. Hunt 1/6 from the field. King terrible shooting day, 3 TO’s. Dji less efficient than normal. Quinn is the only guy who played up to their level. Extremely disappointing. Hope we don’t get an NIT bid because I don’t want to watch it
Empty season - lots of positives, but what a disappointing way to end it. We were the one seed, couldn't hold on to a 10 point lead in the 2nd half.
Not the same Jordan King since the vcu game.
Not surprising. So glad they cut down the nets before actually winning the Championship. Really set a great tone for the rest of the season.
Well, we don't have to worry about getting shafted out of at large bid, now do we. Didn't see the game due to work but as I said before the game, this game worried me. St. Joes has talent, think we did a whole lot of celebrating this past week instead of focusing on the goal at hand.
Completely agree. I have said this over and over. Tarrant and JB, you always feel like you have a chance to win. Mooney, you always feel like a chance to lose.
Good news is we have him for life. If we can get enough players we can win, but let's make sure we have a good margin.
And I agree, just too much worry about who is all conference and who is not. If such an issue the players would have come out on fire to prove it.
And yes, the rebounding when it mattered.
