UR vs. VCU

[Gallipoli]

Our team has shown the character to overcome all of the obstacles that have been placed in front of them. Golden overcame heart issues his freshman year. Sherrod overcame his torn ACL. Blake has overcome his broken sternum. These guys have true strength. They will never give up. Given this, the VCU game pails in comparison.

 

[SpiderAlways]

I’m pumped! Let’s Go Spiders! Be there, be loud, be proud! Let’s kick their arse back downtown!!

 

[Gallipoli]

They will overcome. Believe.

 

[Eight Legger]

We are going to break them limb from limb and leave their scattered remnants strewn across the court in piles of burning carnage.

True and how great will the accomplishment be if they actual win the game tomorrow and keep winning until we get to the big dance.

 

[Gallipoli]

This team is laser-focused on this game. Our full team is together and they will be ready.

A storm is brewing in favor of the Spiders. Slay the Rams!!

 

[spider23]

Will be interesting to hear about the turn out and vibe of the lamb fans. JOC or someone posted a shot from a recent VCU game, tons of empty seats. You can grab seats to there games off stubhub for $10 for a Saturday game. There play has been really up and down. Rhoades trending down. BUT, they may be treating this like it's there superbowl, to save the season. Which it should be for us too.

 

[SpiderTrap]

Might be the biggest game ever in the Robins center in terms of what is on the line.

1. Bubble chances continue or burst with this game for maybe both teams
2. Future of head coach may rest in this game and overall result of season
3. Revenge for earlier loss in year to crosstown rival.

huge game for both teams. Should make for a good atmosphere

Edit: “break them lamb from lamb”

C'mon, Trap. You know better than that.

 

[SpiderTrap]

C'mon, Trap. You know better than that.

I know. But I like sometimes think like UR cares about athletics.

as long as the guys show up and compete - mission accomplished. Extension granted.

 

[Dr. Spidey]

Richmond will rip VCU a new one this evening.

 

[Gallipoli]

Competition is most important. If one competes with himself, there will be victory. Winning is the least important of all. Having good practices leads to stronger competition. The future is bright.
Destroy the ramlets.

 

[Spider B]

No excuses Mooney. Just win. Guard the 3 point line and feed Grant on the block. Like our chances today, despite Mooney’s dreadful results vs RPI. BF will help us big time with ball handling and free up JG. Today they have to focus on 3 3point shooters, not 2 like the game a few weeks ago.

 

[SpiderK]

Anyone notice that the VCU players look like they are all in their late Twenties.

 

[SpiderK]

Evans is dressed out in uniform and warming up. Knee is pretty heavily taped

 

[spider23]

I think Francis harasses Dem Bones into a bad shooting night. Pav takes bones out for cheesburgers and milk shakes afterward.

Mooney is going to walk away with a 15 point win, a no. 9 seed in the dance by seasons end, and the promise of adding an explosive talent in Connor Crabtree and a legit inside player for next season on his way to a 5 year extension.

 

[spider23]

Not to mention First Love's 23 Isaiah Wilson to the mix. As Galloper would say: Future is indeed so bright I need to wear shapes.

 

[Gallipoli]

Bones Hyland and Mrcus Evans are both starting for VCU.

 

[Gallipoli]

The pressure is on VCU in this game.

 

[SpiderK]

Crowd is about 75-25 spiders. I have seen worse. Good job guys.

 

[gospidersgo]

Nick wants this one

 

[ChoppinBroccoli]

Bones Hyland and Mrcus Evans are both starting for VCU.

Marcus Evans is not playing...?

 

[whampas]

Niiiiick!!

 

[I-M-UR]

Slow it down guys

 

[spider23]

Now that was a strong move by Grant to split the double for the and one. Even 97 may have liked it though Grant did not dunk. He did get at least a Richmond Yellow Pages under him though. Great start. Got a little rushed for a few minutes but recovered nicely.

No excuses Mooney. Just win.

Mooney's middle name is excuses.

 

[whampas]

Please, with sprinkles on it, keep playing in the second half. Please.

 

[gospidersgo]

Offense has been great but our defense is what has impressed me even more. Great effort especially Blake and Jacob not allowing Hyland any room.

 

[gospidersgo]

Also I'd say the crowd is more 90/10 Spiders, really not a ton of yellow in here tonight.

VCU 1 for 9 from 3.

What are you talking about?

 

[spider23]

Great first half, let's do it again. And can some in the proximity of lamb bench tell RhoadesKill to STFU!! Kid needs to quit bitching.

 

[Gallipoli]

The Spiders are up by 18 at the half, 42-24.

I think VCU is going through some fatigue. They aren't bringing it the way they used to. Then again, college hoops in general aren't bringing it the way they used to.

 

[whampas]

Sloppy out of the break.

 

[spider23]

I love this resolve we are playing with today! Suck it Lambs.

 

[gospidersgo]

Step on their throat!

 

[spider23]

Only wish Grace would have hammered that guy instead of giving up the layup. Make that guy earn it at the line. Yes, came out sloppy, but Golden and Cayo with strong moves to settle us down. Gilly on a roll!
