Spiders hosting Duquesne Saturday

I hope we see VCU again this season.
This bugs me that they took the return game. So we get to take a 3 week pause, switch the first game from home to road and then dont give us a return game? I mean I get it we shot ourselves in the foot. But I do think the game would be different if we didn't have a 3 week layoff and a shame the A10 didnt give us a rematch vs our "rival"to at least get a shot at revenge.
 
We dribble/pass the ball to the corner then another spider goes to the corner allowing Duq the easy double team.

also it looks like teams have figured out if Gilyard or Francis drive to the hoop don’t bail the out with a foul just sit back and block their shot.
 
We are an embarrassingly bad defensive team. So very weak on the interior. Slow as shit. I dont think we have stopped them once in the last 5 minutes. If u only concentrate only golden, u will see how useless he is out there.

Has duqunse taken a single outside shot this half? Every basket I see them make is a layup. Or a miss, rebound, shot, miss, rebound, shot, miss, rebound, shot, scores.

Whatever hedge effort is happening at the top of the key on defense needs to end now. That was like the third time today it has resulted in two of our guys standing near midcourt white the PG blows by them to create an easy basket. WTF m

Why is our post man switching 30+feet from the basket. They can’t get back when their player rolls
Coaching. It worked for the last ~8 games last year so now we do it every single possession. Grace gets killed on it defensively every time he's on the floor
 
Duquesne takes higher percentage shots-point blank. The Spiders fire away from downtown.What’s new? As others say, UR is dominated in the paint.
 
At this point I'd let Cayo play defense on the perimeter and switch Burton to the post. We need Burton's rebounding in there - no one else is gonna go up and grab the ball
 
Wasn’t this supposed to be an easy game w Duq off pause and being rusty and fatigued.

Guess that applies lot more to UR.
 
At least Goose has resuscitated the patented “Julius Johnson and-1 hand foul”. He had 3 fouls today and each of them was ****ing idiotic.

Thats my takeaway. Nice to get a win but didnt we need to strategically schedule a D3 to get back to playing shape? The Dukes just line up and take us to the wire, coming off their break.

We are so pillow soft that Mike Lindell should be our spokesman.
