UMass game

[Ulla1]

Spiders favored by 11 points. Comments? OSC

 

[KWeaver]

If I were a sports bettor, it would be hard not to lay money down against the Spiders right now! Looks like their big 3 scorers are all guards, and are all quite effective from beyond the three point line. They also defend the three pretty well.

We should really win this game, but it may be that they have just the sort of team that makes for a difficult matchup.

11 gives me a little bit of a scare..... I never feel good at the Robins Center until we hit the 5 min mark and we are up by at least 12.

 

[ur2K]

I'll go out on a limb and say their Trey Davis outscores our Trey Davis.

Also, watch out for a new meatball in town.

I can't wait for him to be switched to one of our guards

 

[72Spider]

We were favored by more than that agnst GMU and that didnt work out so well. Dont have stats to back it up but seems like thru the years we have often lost or failed to cover the spread when favored. Do much better when not favored.

 

[Ulla1]

Hopefully, Shawndre will be healed and ready to go. Seems when he is playing well and hitting 3's we are a good team. OSC

 

[Ulla1]

Have a good feeling about this one; the Spiders come out and are on fire! OSC

Umass has another Big Deli sized guy it appears?

Their freshman center is 6' 11" and 335 pounds. OSC

According to the RTD, Mooney projects no major changes in scheme, starting lineup, rotation or routine. So it is full steam ahead for the HMS Titantic.

 

[Ulla1]

The RTD article mentioned that Julius Johnson would be getting more playing time. There's always hope. OSC

 

[97spiderfan]

Post game comments, I need to find get the freshman more time. Julius plays less than 8 minutes

 

[SpiderHoops32]

"He suggested 6-foot-3 freshman guard Julius Johnson may be in line for an expanded role after playing very limited minutes through the season’s first half."

How about JP who has shown he has ability & promise? Benched because he's not ready for prime time or just in the dog house? Would really like to know what's going on there. He sure looks like he's justified more minutes instead of riding the pine.

Having looked terrible for the last few games, the Spiders will blow out UMass tonight and maybe a couple more good games -- enough to get our hopes up that maybe they're decent. They they will once again crash and burn. That's the pattern, right?

UVA won and VDU lost. Perfect weekend so far. Come on Spiders and Broncos!!

 

[wr70beh]

VCU lost? Didn't even knew they were playing!

Celebrate good times, come on!

+1. Speaking of UVA, where's HoosFan05. I have a question for her, how did y'all lose to those guys. Geez.

 

[Eight Legger]

Derek Kellogg is the worst coach in the league, and I don't think it's particularly close. However, if we lose tonight, we'll have a new titleholder there.

 

[SpiderK]

I can't begin to tell you how bad we have become. It's just pitiful. Trey Davis almost wedged a free throw, TA has missed several FT's. We are giving up wide open 3's left and right. It's a horror movie!!!!

 

[Marley13]

3-2 zone last two possessions. Two stops. Hmmm...

 

[DF24]

I like the change to the 3-2

 

[SpiderK]

I like the change to the 3-2

I like the change to anything

 

[SpiderK]

Sherod and Buckingham were acknowledged by the Robins Center on the big screen when they got here and crowd cheered. Haven't seen Wesson yet.

 

[SpiderK]

Wesson is here, just saw him.

 

[wr70beh]

both teams are throwing up bricks. UMass more so.

 

[8legs]

Out of town tonight.
Please include score with your posts...thanks!

40-30 UR, 12:30 left

 

[SpiderK]

We are up 43-33 and playing like dog poop. UMASS just really sucks.

 

[SpiderK]

We can't make a free throw to save our A$$

 

[Marley13]

What's the deal with TA's free throw shooting? He's much too good to be missing half of them.

 

[32counter]

Wesson is here, just saw him.

K

Wesson's size? Is he ready to play in 16-17?

 

[DF24]

62-43 with 4 to go is a chance to get JP some minutes.

 

[SpiderK]

Haven't seen him standing up yet. I will let you know

 

[DF24]

Doesn't hurt to get SDJ some rest and play KF, JP, JJ with TJ and TA. Won't happen but a good thought.

 

[SpiderK]

62-43 with 4 to go is a chance to get JP some minutes.

Good luck, pistol still has his pink shirt on.

 

[DF24]

Yeah I know. Just dreaming.

 

[Marley13]

Don't think KF is ready but would like to see JP play. He must be deep in coaches doghouse.

 

[SpiderK]

I have to admit Pistol looked pretty uninterested on the bench. Hadn't noticed it before. Can't blame him though.

Khwan Fore isn't ready for what?
