Nice work. All home games are expected wins. Only game that would not be a disappointing loss is possibly @GMU. If at 15-2 and title on the line in that one, Id hope the teams motivation would be very high with a refuse to lose attitude.

 

[Long Island Spiders]

I cannot wait for the vcu game!!

 

[CarolinaSpider]

Need the crowd into it and to take each game, one at a time.

keeps getting updated.

 

[fatherspider]

Loyola looking really good right now. Glad we got them early in the season. No way they are the 99th ranked team in the country per NET.

 

[SFspidur]

With Bona beating UMass and Mason getting throttled by Loyola, it’s looking like the top 4 should be pretty much on their own after today. Everybody else will have at least 7 losses unless Mason turns this around.

 

[urfan1]

vcu down 27-23 to St Joes to start second half. St Joes clogging the lane.

 

[urfan1]

turned it around up 30-27

 

[Section9.RowD]

turned it around up 30-27

Lambs have the better coach so sort of expected the comeback ...

 

[gospidersgo]

Dukes are looking good at the Siegel Center so far...been a back and forth game.

 

[SFspidur]

VCU on the ropes...down 8 with a minute to go and Jaynel throws a pass into the third row.

 

[Gallipoli]

Dukes are looking good at the Siegel Center so far...been a back and forth game.

The Dukes are up by 10, with 1 minute left.

 

[Eight Legger]

Lambs fall hard at home without Shulga. Makes sense, they lost their Super Bowl the other day at the RC, sort of a soul-crusher. Ah, well.

 

[Gallipoli]

How sweet it is.

 

[whampas]

We must have ripped their hearts out Saturday night. Fvcu

 

[712LLC]

Glad to see vcu likely not in the top 4. More games for them to play in the tournament means the more likely it is they lose before we have to play them. Really don’t wanna see them again because I don’t like how long their guards are compared to ours and I think I still have ptsd from the several times they’ve beaten us in the league tournament.

 

[Gallipoli]

VCU has to beat Dayton to guarantee double bye.

Also kind of glad we got Duquesne without Grant…

At Dayton…
on Senior night…

 

[urmite]

What are the chances one of our last two opponents is our first opponent in Brooklyn?

 

[whampas]

At Dayton…
on Senior night…

And Dayton will be pissed after they lose to SLU tonight. 😆

 

[MooreHall73]

I think VCU will represent the A-10 well in the NIT.

 

[Spiders4ever]

You are giving them too much credit.

Not a given. Even if vcu loses to Dayton, sbu and/or mass have to take care of business, they both beat vcu but not sure how tiebreaker works

 

[Eight Legger]

If vcu ends up tied with one of them, it loses the tiebreaker and falls to fifth. If it ends up tied with both of them, it loses the tiebreaker and ends up sixth.

UMass hosts Fordham and Bona closes with GW and SLU, so it's not looking too good for Clownshow Ed's crew.

 

[SpiderDogg]

I heard Bamisile is transferring again if they make NIT

 

[spiders13]

Rarely go over there but VCU board turning on Jaynel. Saying he’s playing like he did with us 🤦

 

[MooreHall73]

What did they expect? Next stop Randolph Macon?

 

[AnnapSpider]

You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

 

[PalmTreeSpidUR]

I caught the last two or so minutes of their game last night. I was pretty surprised by the empty seats (they were only down six when I turned it on) and the result. But I was extremely amused by the commercial that aired right after the game ended showing the Papa John's pizza promo code after a VCU win. A little misplaced confidence?

Also one of their current (former?) players was featured and the other person in the commercial asked if he was going to do something extra to celebrate (dance maybe? I wasn't paying too much attention). And then he said "only after we beat Dayton." Which implied to me that is their biggest rival/concern.

What going on with Shulga?

 

[Section9.RowD]

What going on with Shulga?

Back issues or something .. not clear if he will play against Dayton on Fri night.

It certainly was, in 2017, when the commercial was filmed…

 

[PalmTreeSpidUR]

Wow, that's pretty old. Time for a new one.
