I mean we are getting physically dominated. They are much more physical than us. Much much more and they are using it to their advantage
VCU GAME
- Thread starter spider23
- Start date
Glad we were able to hold the ball to make sure we got the last shot clock violation of the half.
Cayo and Jake were ok. Blake and Grant were awful. Burton was invisible. The subs were actually pretty decent. We need to figure out some way to toughen up because right now it’s clear they can sort of just bully us and we will just take it.
Hahaha you’ve got to have a great sense of humor being a loyal fan of a Chris Mooney coached team.

not sure what to make of this half other than I guess be happy we are only down 8? I need to have something strong to drink handy for the second half methinks..
And make no mistake about this - - - Bones is clearly the best player on the court ( and he is playing hurt).
LOL, I think Lions pep talk to dem Bones worked. Our guy Rothstein just said Spiders came out flat, Bones did not.
I was pounding the table as to why we didn't offer Hassan Ward. No offer. Recruiting joke.

Not sure I agree with Burton sitting the rest of the half while we nearly got run over. Brought back Blake with two. Why not Burton.
And guys, your flopping is impeccable. Almost Oscar-worthy. Keep it up!
Burton, Golden and Francis all look tired. The team all sat in separate hotel rooms for 2 straight weeks. They are not used to the physical strain.
I didn’t have much of an opinion before tonight because I hadn’t seen him much. But look at a few things. He was easily the best defensive player on either team. He didn’t get 8 uncontested rebounds. He was physical and his team dominated when he was on the court. Nobody we have can do all The things he does. Burton maybe someday but not tonight. Certainly not ready to put him in the lottery but 3 and D guys are pretty valued in the NBA and he fits the profile.

Hopefully that took the lid off the hoops for Blake. Need someone to get hot here.
Our energy is totally different. Moon have em the big motivational speech?
Grant is maddening. He's left like eight or 10 points on the rim already.
What's so frustrating is VCU is just not that good.
This game, like this season, feels like such a lost opportunity. Hope I’m wrong but how many easy points can you leave on the floor if you want to win?
