VCU Game Thread at the Stu- 4pm Sat ESPNU/ESPN+ (?)
- Thread starter Section9.RowD
- Start date
I will be there. Hoping to see a larger contingent of red than I am used to seeing when we visit Costco Arena.
OK, I did it... I peaked at the VCU board... this is my favorite quote so far...
"For the first time ever, I’m expecting Mooney to outcoach our coach. Makes me want to throw up."

Why did they schedule the lacrosse game and the basketball game the same afternoon.?
A huge bb game I realize, but a national champion lacrosse team coming in to town
to play at Robins.
Typical of the way we do things

Well, in their press releases about the schedule and tickets, they've errantly said multiple times that the Maryland game is on Saturday, February 4, so maybe they didn't even realize the games were the same day.
The lax game is at 1, so if you hustle a bit you can make both.

This game is the biggest game since the Dayton Game. Seriously this is now the biggest game of the season.
A few cloudy skies after this one but no storms on the forecast.

This is the kind of season that we have been waiting for!
Yes this worries me a bit. Double superbowl for Nelson, but at least we have Mahomes (King) running the show.

Or just skip the lacrosse game. There is a reason it is called lax. UR Basketball vs. VDU or a lax game, it is not even close.

I'll take a one-point win on a half-court heave at the buzzer, but I hope we go in there on a damn mission ready to make a statement. Take them apart piece by piece. Leave no doubt.
Trolling VCU again....this guy needs help...
"For the first time in many years, not feeling too confident in beating Westhampton. For the first time in many years, I don't really care."

I wonder what Spiders4ever thinks about that post?
And what does Stonewall think about your posts? Where did that poster go anyway, not on search anymore…

We don’t need the series lead.
We just need their next win to be at the STU in 2037 to break the tie…

Since the lacrosse game will be over before the basketball games starts it is not an issue. Both are important games ...................
As a Spider fan, I don't know how you can feel confident at all about going into Siegel and getting a win. That place has killed our hopes far too many times. And this is Mooney and this is VCU, we all know the record. I refuse to get my hopes up and to have expectations.
I agree it is a different year and we are in a unique position of the hunted vs the hunter. It is going to be rock fight.

But all that travel time between locations…
What makes me nervous is I am not sure VCu has played two games the same this season.
So how do you know what to expect?
Play tough defense. Make 3s. Identify their scorers and get Dji and Bigs and Hunt and Harris on them.
Bamisile worries me the most even though he comes off the bench. Think Dji needs to be on him when he's in the game so doubt Dji will see much much bench time on Sat.
From their board about Bonnie loss
“I'm fine with open shots from deep. I would prefer them to be by Max, Kuany and Joe.”
I’m hoping for 10 points combined from Shulga, Kuany, and Bamisile On Saturday.
Been playing against Joe since 7th grade. He’s tough but would argue not as tough as he once was. Before the two knee blowouts. Still a problem.
Dji is a fan favorite. He is having a great year. I hope he is having fun, because he deserves it. We are fortunate to have him.
I was pretty sure I remember you saying that when he was in transfer portal ....lots of dynamics in play Saturday
Here is a quick summary of game predictions. Over the past several weeks, the spreads were pretty close, but they predicted the wrong winner (Fordham excepted).
Haslemetrics: VCU 67, Richmond 66 (rounding)
Warrennolan: VCU 69, Richmond 65
RealtimeRPI: VCU 74, Richmond 65
Barttorvick: VCU 66, Richmond 65
All seem to think VCU will win the home game. This does not measure the heart of the team.

spoke to a friend , a die hard vcu fan, says they have no one to match Quinn or Walz. Hope he's right and they go off!
@ VCU is the toughest game remaining on the schedule. should be a great battle.
Yeah - been two the last two games at GMU and neither went well - hate the arena, the band, the atmosphere and losing .. plan to go back this year as we close out the A10 season with a win.
they were saying much worse about the Spiders in January 2015!
This is the effort and execution we will need Saturday...I have never seen the Siegel Center look this way...like a Premier League soccer crowd whose team is behind 3-0...
Kendall Anthony loved torturing the Rams...his move on Rams star Briante Webber will always be one of my favorite UR basketball memories...ha! I remember yelling so loud at the TV that the poor mutt ran out of the room...
this highlight reel should be mandatory viewing before you get your mojo right for the Spiders trip down to Siegel...
Go Spiders!
This will be one of the more impressive Moon tenure wins if we can get it. They've mainly bullied us. 8-24. I've said it before u can't run from that record u have to face it head on. VCU plays confident against us and now we r the hunted which is usually not case in rivalry. They'll be fired up looking to give us 1st A10 loss. That's all in their favor.
But we have a team that maybe can do the bullying. And if you look at rest of Feb schedule it is very manageable. Win this one when every predictor sees a close loss, and man we go from longer shot bid chance to way up. It's that kind of swing game imo.

wow, Kendall. I had forgotten both how quick he was and how short he really was. What a player.
and shorts in 2015 were crazy crazy long
I agree. They have zero inside game on O. Also no one big and strong enough to guard Quinn in the post. The question to me is how much will Quinn be on the block. I would hope very often to take full advantage of his advantage in the post. They will have to send a double team at him which should lead to open shots. Crush the Lambs!
